Eli5 about it? Please?

I think this captures the highlights of the issue.

Haha, I like this part:
As Walter Isaacson reported in his Steve Jobs biography, Gates responded: “Well, Steve, I think there’s more than one way of looking at it. I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.”

I half expected you to just say “Google it”
Thanks man I appreciate it

Found the commenter who is old enough to retire

I think every nerdy person knows about it though. Gates and Jobs have a pretty famous exchange over it.

Retirement? In this economy?

Fucking wish I could retire

You can… maybe not for long, and not out of the streets, but technically anyone can “retire” at any moment…
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If it’s not final, it’s not retiring. Pretty sure “comfortably” is implied as well.

Y’all need to watch pirates of Silicon Valley

It’s like the Halloween 3 of the Pirates franchise: pretty good but quite a departure for the series. Notably, neither Captain Sparrow nor Captain Stagnetti make an appearance at all - amongst many other differences.

Amazing review, and shockingly accurate. Well done.

He meant “photostat” though.
