I don't think that's fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there's the HP printers and they're a good deal, so they buy them.
Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don't have certain knowledge.
Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.
That is putting it very mildly.
"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”
He said that in *checks notes* 1971.
Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn't so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old "you're anti-Israel, so you're anti-semitic" nonsense, he decided to go, "hell yeah I am!"
I think you're being a bit pedantic. They didn't understand that they had any utility.
How exactly would you invent the laugh track if you didn't understand the concept of recorded sound since it literally requires recorded sound?
This is like saying the Mayans came up with the car despite not understanding the wheel.
No, he didn't do that either. He had no concept of the possibility of recorded sound. Don't get your history information from YouTube videos.
No he didn't, the laugh track requires recorded sound. He did not have that technology.
That's literally what has happened.
Yeah, this feels like a courtesy thing. I just didn't expect it.
(And only just now noticed after switching three weeks ago since this was the first time I had to delete anything in all that time.)
It would behoove you to read this. Especially the part about the United States.

I would also suggest you think about your privilege and what it might mean to a person of color to hear "we changed the name back to the name of the racist guy, but it's actually a different guy that we found with the exact same name so it's totally different and you have no reason to be offended" and change "racist guy" to "the guy who raped your sister."
Wait until they go after women who have medically necessary hysterectomies.
Why does anyone think the squiggly red line signals something that's always optional at this point?
