Usually fiber lines that have either been there for decades or the the federal government has been effectively paying them to install for decades decades and they just fucking didn’t do it yet.

Lots of those “government surcharges” that aren’t quoted in their estimates and show up as a surprise bill were authorized by the government, but go directly to the carriers and are supposed to be used to cover the cost of infrastructure upgrades and extension.

I’d mourn the lithium.

At the same time, I do other this to simply blocking all flight near airports.

Years ago I got clearance to fly for an event near an airport but the fucking drone refused to fly.

The most important part of developing hacking tools is to have a UI that includes text scrolling really quickly with little beep, blip, and bloop noises.

Even if the 13% number were accurate - that’s a pretty damning number. 13% of people supporting someone for gunning down a CEO in cold blood is terrifying to CEOs.

That’s not 13% hating them. That’s 13% of people celebrating someone for killing them. No lawsuits. No trials. Just gunning them down in the streets. Things have gotten really bad when you have that much of the population actively supporting your murder.

And Trump is just gonna cuddle up and spoon with the Palestinians, right?

He totally hasn’t openly said on on air that Israel need to finish the job and kill ALL Palestinians, right?

There’s corrupt and then there’s treasonous. Lots of politicians do shady things. Not many literally sell nuclear secrets to our enemies or provide hit lists of our foreign assets.

One is worse than the other.

Which one was being prosecuted for stealing and selling classified data before the judge he owned threw out the case?

Which one is being sentenced for felonies on Friday?

Which one held a private meeting with Russian spies while in office, then immediately asked for a list of informants, followed a few weeks later by a bunch of informants regarding Russian interests suddenly being killed?

Trump is a treasonous monster.

It’s not just youtubers. It’s anyone who uses affiliate links. Online ads use affiliate links.Things like Amazon Smile used affiliate linking for charity fundraising.

And since Honey was jacking links class action is the only way for them to really do it. No individual affiliate can point out their individual loss through Honey because Honey erased their links.

That means the class action needs to go after all affiliate revenue Honey has ever made.

Youtubers who had their affiliate links hijacked aren’t subject to the EULA.

Put hundreds of them in a pretty boxes, form an LLC, get a few VCs to sign on, flip the switch, then charge a monthly fee to “open previously-inacessible service areas to cellular customers” and you’ll have a successful startup!

My point is that SteamOS is similar to Android from a business perspective.

They’re making an OS for free that anyone can install, but they’re doing it to get people to buy software from Steam.

Yeah, you don’t have to use Steam as your software provider, but Android users don’t have to use the Play Store.

Guess where almost all apps are purchased on Android? Valve wants to be the Google of the mobile PC gaming world.

I actually typed Origin when I meant to type EGS, which charges 18% to Steam’s 30%.

They offer a free operating system anyone can use that’s name after their company and designed to play games sold through the included store for a 30% cut of sales.

What saints!

If Google did something similar, I bet everyone would say they’re a great company and not at all evil…

Gabe is a billionaire monopolist, not your friend.

I really don’t get the love for Valve. They charge double the fees of some other digital platforms, and people flip the fuck out when a developer is like "we’re releasing on origin because paying Valve would cost more money than the entire net profit of the game.

At the reveal they were talking about using Apollo on it.

That worked out great…

ROG is model line of Asus, not a secondary brand. ROG is to Asus what F-series trucks are to Ford.

Delete them. Wipe their databases. Make the companies start from scratch with new, ethically acquired training data.

Gelsinger didn’t do “nothing.”

He was clear from day one that it would take years for Intel to recover. It takes a long time for their products to make it to market, especiallyhlwhen they have to buipdnfab facilities. He was essentially fired for his predecessors lingering fuckups.

The biggest product that’s launched he actually had some control over was the second generation of Arc, which launced days after he was fired and has been a massive success.

If I can get one I’m buying one. I think their performance/cost ratio is excellent, and will probably make NVidia and AMD bring down their mid-range card prices.

But I’m not forgetting who made the prices come down. I’m all in on supporting a new player in the GPU game, and the 5060 would have to make me grow new teeth or something to get me to give Nvidia money over Intel at this point.
