He has a lot of supporters that’d do it for free, but he’s also the kind of client who would insist on so much stupid bullshit that the app has a 300MB patch every other day. “Let’s make the news feed a 4K video of a bullet point slide because the campaign team can just whip a new one up every day alongside different music, and it has to be 4K otherwise it might look gross”. Basically the Homer Simpson bubblecar of apps
Other Trump supporters were heard shouting, “too soon!”
I just thought it’s funny that AI can’t determine I’m talking about memes. It’s like, look, Gemino bro, all I use you for is making Garfield and Shrek comments
It’d be kind of sad to see how delusional he is if I didn’t know he’s a gigantic asshole
I actually googled that to try to pull a screenshot and the AI summary told me to go to a doctor
Giving me Don Hertzfeldt’s Rejected vibes, if you haven’t seen this it’s hilarious and is probably slightly older than Youtube. There’s irreverent, and then there’s this
They behave exactly like black mold. They start coalescing in some adjacent space and suddenly BOOM. Online storefront, starts hosting its own servers, that becomes part of the business. Starts building out warehouses, that becomes part of the business. IoT things that run on their servers, then cameras, gobbles up Blink. They even had a pilot project for restaurant delivery, we’ll probably see that again once they can tie it into their parcel delivery fleet
A couple companies make them like TunerRack but I think the biggest issue is that it’s no longer compatible with the scissor jack. A couple other issues are that the ones that use grub screws to pinch the welds can come off if the grub screws back out from vibration, and the kinds that require drilling sometimes develop obnoxious rattle if they wind up having play.
But the most unintended outcome of all this is usually those things are nice shiny anodized bits, so people tend to still use pads, which kind of defeats the purpose
My only guess is that they’re trying to prop up investment in tech/semiconductors so as not to be left behind. That high growth stuff is really sensitive to lots of things including inflation/interest rates because a big payoff in the future that is eroded by inflation isn’t nearly as appealing as a big payoff with future currency having the same value as currency right now, that kind of thing, discounted models and all that hooplah, next thing you know everyone’s rotating into consumer staples, dividends, those kinds of safe havens where the money comes sooner and more consistently
Edit: perfect example probably COVID, US Fed rate target was 0.05% in April 2020 and a lot of people might recall tech stocks being on an absolute rampage afterwords (also due in part to stay at home Zoom stuff but still)
Double edit: and if I’m right in my hunch I think most people aren’t accurately assessing geopolitical risk for western semiconductors/tech (Taiwan sits in that basket). I mean, if they’re thirsty for dominance they’re thirsty for dominance
The shitty thing is that if margins are high enough only a very small minority of owners need to subscribe in order for them to break even and then we get stuck with it for eternity like SiriusXM being implanted into practically everything.
And of course there’s no way to just ‘opt out’ of the hardware via trim levels. Shitty industry in general
Yeah it’s horrible, but I think it’s made even worse because the premise and concept sounds like it’d make for a really great game. An open world sandbox of ass kicking, like Hell’s Angels meets Fallout with a destructable/interactable environment. It’s such a good idea but unfortunately Rockstar didn’t pick up on it and we got this instead :-/
Some games would simply not install on a second or third machine without getting permission from the publisher.
I remember binning DDR2 RAM on a test bench back in the day and Windows deactivated itself after about a dozen times lol
That image is of the bus so it probably requires a ‘fleet’ type purchase alongside a maintenance contract
But her research was peer reviewed by Alex Jones
Dude’s ‘about to sneeze’ face leaves me feeling like this might be intentional
I wouldn’t judge him on that alone because the writer doesn’t inform us if these holdings are part of a diversified pile of bonds from other foreign nations, but everything else in that article is pretty damning. “I wish they lifted sanctions”, gee wonder why
Title is fucking metal. Box is wild. Panned as one of the worst games ever made
Bro about to get a judgment on his Facebook page 😂
It’s pretty wild to think they took this long to prohibit using US-based software for such sensitive information
I forgot I even did this but I’m coming up on 10 years in just a couple weeks.
