I laugh whenever some one thinks the government is “inefficient” and that the company will be more efficient. I’ve watched publicly traded companies waste a tonne of money on various boondoggles.

Usually the company survives despite the incompetence for other reasons.

It does not but the game industry has a lot of parallel to the movie industry l where some parts are very unionized.

It’s more like “localization is hard and you have a week to add support for it”

Yeah that was exactly my thought.

I don’t miss commercials at all (and am annoyed they appear to be creeping back) but I do miss the mono culture quite a bit.

It does have that, but don’t for a minute think they actually control chromium. If Google wanted to they could make life very difficult for brave.

Currently brave still has support for manifest v2 but that will eventually be removed and the more brave diverges from the upstream the more work is required to keep it going.

You just need to hydrate a bunch. I drink Gatorade or a ton of water after any alcohol. Obviously if you go out and drink a 12 pack that won’t help you but 3 beers in a night should definitely not leave you feeling like crap the next morning.

Actually even if you don’t drink you should stay hydrated.

That doesn’t even take into account that a lot of rails in the US are owned by Canadian companies.

The average person doesn’t even have a proper computer anymore. I guess you’re can still torrent on your phone but I’ve not tried it.

So funny thing about Aylo, which used to be called mind geek, they own quite a lot of porn sites. Probably 5 or 6 of the top ten.

No

That is implied.

The Arch is slightly to the left.

The hacker community it’s very focused on Linux since most servers in the world run it. The fly by night script kiddies and botnet creators definitely prefer end user systems though.

You can still mangle a Robbie if you have the wrong size but you do have to work at it.

Also those combo Robertson/Slot screws made with Chineseium can round out pretty quick.

It really depends on what Trump means by " built in the US". It won’t be that big of a jump if Apple is just assembling them there. If every component has to come from the US it’s likely impossible.

Apple is vertically integrated in a way many companies are not. It would be bad for them for sure but they already have really high profit margins. They could eat the cost and assemble in the US, but they won’t because they are already a velban good.

This says less about toddlers than it does about what Apple knows the public requires to use a computer.

I don’t needs a little more jpeg if you ask me.

Let me give you a bit of the outside of the story as well.

For sure tiktok and meta and Google want you in their walled Garden for all the obvious reasons. However, and it’s gotten even worse as of late, if you have any kind of computationally expensive but desirable content/data the crawlers/scrapers/scripters will pummel your site. Despite how annoying you find the captchas and bot detection a computer doesn’t give too shits about it and at this point they basically serve as a rate limit or effort to make your content too computationally expensive to scrape and be worth it.

While accounts don’t necessarily solve this problem they do help as another impediment.

Those are not usually real gold though.

The reality is that there is no tax break large enough to make up the difference in costs for a lot of things. Even with tariffs China is still cheaper.

I mean they were built to make money, the fact that you can send them a national security letter is just a happy accident that keeps the NSA from having to run more datacenters.
