knowitnone··on A CarFax for Used PCs; Hewlett Packard wants to give old laptops new life
HP has 0 incentive to give old laptops new life if they don't profit from it. People who buy used laptops are already doing so. Yes, there are somes risks but if the computer boots up, perhaps run a few performance tests, then it's good. A used laptop is $100 - $500, not $2000 - $10000 and it most likely is not sold multiple times because after teh second owner, it's likely already too old, too slow, and not supported (Microsoft). I was a seller of used laptops.
knowitnone··on Entry-level jobs down by a third since launch of ChatGPT
there is plenty of automation to be done. Last company I was with claimed to be a "tech company" which they kind of are but their internal tech stack was junk and automation was just as bad (at least in the unit I was with). AI certainly won't do anything about that unless a person told it exactly what and how to automate.

knowitnone··on WhatsApp introduces ads in its app
Your comment is snide and unnecessary. Do Chinese walk around thinking they want to be more American? No they don't. Americans certainly dont believe everyone is trying very hard to be like them - typically go about their own business. Chinese may be influenced by western shows and movies but everybody is influenced by the shows that they watch. Why do Americans need to think about the rest of the world? Do Chinese think about the rest of the world? Your hatred really shows in your comment.
