A classic comedic tall and short duo dressed in identical messy red jumpsuits appear at the door and menacingly press their way inside. Bob laughs and grabs a wrench saying "Fixed itself? Let's have a little look" (I think, this is from memory)
It really didn't have to be this way. I can't state that strongly enough. If I had to sum up what seven years of watching the people running this massive global enterprise taught me, it's that something else was possible. They really could have chosen to do it all differently and fix so much of what's been destructive about Facebook. At every juncture, there was an opportunity to make different choices; China, Myanmar, elections, hate speech, vulnerable teens. They could've made it right again. A different path was possible. And in the long term, it would've been in their own self-interest too. Facebook, the business, the brand, and the company, would be better off. We all would be better off.

Annual power consumption by company including Apple Meta Microsoft Google and Amazon, in increasing order. Amazon's last data point is in 2022 at around 40TWh. Google has since surpassed that but we can only assume Amazon continues to increase.

A line-up of Casio camera watches from 2000—2001: the WQV-1, 2, 3, and 10, facing a line-up of my WQV Blink sync devices, which are little grey badge-shaped things with an IR window and a screen.
Fuck, I don't know if I can even explain what's going on here. Uh, well just suffice to say it's The Big Cabbage saying "Ah, My Lord! Your butt! It's fully out!" to the Dark Lord Cabbage. You had to be there.
It's claude

Small handheld device being held in a hand, it goes through a boot screen showing "1" "2" then reboots and shows "3" "10", indicating two different firmwares supporting the WQV-1/2 and WQV-3/10.
A silver watch communicates with a small device in a 3d printed shell with a screen. The laptop it's connected to logs a bunch of data as it transmits. Then a USB drive appears with the photos it synced.
A handheld wide angle camera swoops around a garage cluttered with retro technology and entirely too many CRTs (seven), including a bunch of old consoles, a candy cab, and a dig dug MAME cabinet.
A Casio WQV-3 watch in silver is put manually into sync mode, and then, pointed at a small device in a 3d printed shell, it flips through images on its screen without user intervention.

This is where my Pragmata disc is after 1 week. It's like this every time. UPS is worse than useless (in Canada at least). UPS tracking screen with "Delay: emergency situation or severe weather" and no ETA
Honestly a bunch of gobbledegook, logging from my device
