That reminds me of the joke where a factory has a big machine break down. They call in a specialist to fix it.

The specialist looks at the machine for a moment, hits it with a small hammer and it starts working instantly.

But on being told that the repair cost is $500, the factory owner is outraged and asks how that can possibly be justified for less than a minute's work.

"Well, it's $5 for use of the hammer, $495 for knowing exactly where to hit the machine."

Lots of ideas on Microsoft's site:

Shouldn't they get back to their job of being inside people, in pairs?

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

Back in the 90s I was living in a small apartment, so house-sitting for a friend meant that I got to stay in a house, watching satellite TV with cats. A good deal.

I told you to remember where you parked it.

As in "moggy"?

So it's cats all the way down.

Mario Mario.

And is "mew" just making a cat noise or something more?

You can use it as a webcam if you suddenly need to work from home and there's a shortage of webcams.

Originally I had to install an app for that, but it shows up as a standard USB option on my Pixel now.

Los Angeles had hidden oil rigs.

So we would have come full circle. That actually has a retro appeal to it that it could catch on!

I never thought I'd see a keyboard that has less of a spacebar then the ZX Spectrum.

Did they try asking how to stop cheese falling off pizza?

Edit: Although since that idea came from a human, maybe I've failed.

I hope this fad passes soon and we return to traditional candidates such as Lord Buckethead or the Monster Raving Loony Party

Yeah, 25 seconds in to the video in the story they show Waldo!

It's not a simple story of just taking away the phone.

I discovered she'd circumvented the screen limits and had been using social media into the wee hours of the morning.

And later, after she did take the phone away, she found her daughter had kept all old phone that was supposedly sold.

It does seem to be a pretty extreme case, but there was lots going on here.

I thought that it became MANGA when it changed from FAANG?
