I think it’s far more likely there’s some sales goal and or performance indicator at play here.

I’m really hoping for thermite. A lot of thermite.
Honestly, I think almost everything else is worse than Google.
I set my default to duck duck go, and it’s getting better, but I still fall back on google with some regularity
It’s just that in America they realized if they complain enough, they get to rub they’re hands gleefully at the thought of all that electricity they’re going to sell, AND all the public money they’re going to get to upgrade the grid!
Assumedly, to deal with a race condition.
An ipod with a much larger screen (320×240 vs 480x320), a camera, and could take phone calls, browse the internet, and do email.
Oh, he was an absolute asshole. Seems I deleted that sentence. RIP me.
“I have enabled and ushered in a new age of knowledge access like no other, here’s a cool way to eat that goes against all reasonable nutritionists’ advice. Sounds good to me!” - Really seems like a fitting way to kick off this century IMO.
I think people love to hate Steve. The one thing people love more than a great figurehead, is hating one. I think that Steve had a great internal model of how to combine form/function.
iPhone wasn’t the first smartphone, but it may as well have been. It brought the smartphone to the mass market.
Part of it was a great advertising campaign, which unlike the smartphones at the time, pitched it as a luxury good as opposed to an executive enterprise one. You owned a blackberry to answer emails wherever and whenever you were, you owned an iphone so you can check Google Maps. A large part of it was redefining both the form factor, and use case of a smartphone.
The US won’t. The EU probably will.
Make the fine the last 10 years of activision/blizzard gross profits.
Make the fuckers bleed.
Penalty? Don’t you mean just another cost of doing business?
Congratulations on being old e ough to buy property when it was cheap.
For the rest of us, we all adapted to the low interest post-08 world. Now, we need to adapt to the higher interest post-21 world.
You need more upvotes.
High interest rates are here, and it’s likely to be some time before we get back down to the 1% interest rates we saw during covid (or even before).
Companies are shifting either to real or imagined pressures of the stick market. And those pressures are less about chasing unlimited growth and want to see some return.
Ergo. Layoffs. Meta producing dividends.
If interest rates stay high, I’d expect to see large megacorps shift more and more to profitability over growth.
Time to donate to the internet archibe.
so, we’ve moved from “ots not real” through past “maybe its real, but its not.human caused” all the way to “its real and we can’t do anything about it”/“its too late to do anything about ot”
But they want you to use their app.
And they’ve decided if you have a HA plugin, you won’t.
So we do our research, and avoid scumbag companies when making purchasing decisions, or more likely, pick the lesser of a several evils.
This is ridiculous. It is truly ridiculous. How can something that enables the user to efficiently control their AC cause “significant economic harm”???
I assume they have their own app and run ads/user analytics through it that make them money.
I have to wonder if you bought their products on the basis that they worked with HA, if you could have some sort of claim here.
If Facebook hasn’t had a mas exodus, neither will Reddit.
Facebooks death is slow and ongoing, and I’m pretty sure Reddit’s will be too.
Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
He sold the shares, why should Tesla reimburse him for his folly? If he wants to have those shares back, he can rebuy them on the open market, just like anybody else would do.
It supports both online co-op as well as split screen with multiple controllers; at least it does on PC.
