no doubt using their own designs that weren't blatantly stolen with zero regard for existing patents as china is famous for of course.

@abroxyz98 had some bad experiences with Gigabyte. I guess that settles it, then. No one should ever buy Gigabyte products 😱

I dont know why people expect free services that cost money to serve you. to not just be free, but ad-free. 

Youtube has never been egregious with ads, some creators sure, but not youtube itself, and premium is cheap.

Don't make me laugh.  Humans still believe in a mythical being that created everything, many humans are not very adaptable at all.  Plus there's a lot more humans than jobs.

Excuse me what?

"If the stock is already on a downward trajectory, who knows if this incident made it worse."  This is a terrible argument, but at least it's entertaining, I'll give you that. 😅
 
Even if we ignore that the CEO of a 44 billion USD corporation (at least that's what he paid) was involved in this Twitter feud, it still paints a devastating picture.
1) In general it shows a blatant lack of trust to suspect an employee made up their disability. Even worse if you base it simply on the fact they send out a tweet.
2) If you employ a person with a known condition in the first place, they obviously did their job under their limitations so far, so why should it be a problem now?
3) If you are so ignorant and narrow-minded that you don't understand  their condition, don't share your wild theories with the world on Twitter.
3a) If you have the audacity to share your wild theories on Twitter, don't start with "The reality is".
3b) If you have 300 million followers on Twitter and you don't even do a sanity check of the things you post, you lack the redponsibility to be on Twitter.
And especially:
4) It's next level idiocrarcy to do all the above to a well-known public figure. A online search would have taken 20 seconds.
 
So, no, I don't sympathize even a little bit with Musks actions. And if you do, there is something seriously wrong with you.
 

Christ, people sure do become insane when discussing Elon.

🤣 What do they say "Art is in the eye of the beholder" Hey if it's cool it's cool sucks to be people whose jobs are absolutely gone now 

Poor fish.

Poor fish.

Poor fish.

Poor fish.

Poor fish.

Well this tweet aged nicely.

May I suggest IQ Check, Sanity Level check, & Common Sense check instead ?

NO! nonononono lol.

While I am fine with having my identity in a forward facing profile. the last thing I want is for that to be required.

the internet should be treated like a water tap. anyone at any point can connect.

'the service' is an amalgamation of computers connected by wires (and radio waves) there is no singular internet and blocking / gatekeeping access is like gatekeeping access to the electricity.

the internet is a concept, not a thing.

I'm not in a number crunching mood right now, and you'll dismiss my numbers anyway attributing the results to sheer unfathomable coincidences, because I can't really be certain rain is causal to getting wet under the rain.
 
We laid out our arguments.
 
You should be happy because my "irrational" hatred of blockchain technology is coming to an end:
By sheer unfathomable coincidence, Ethereum has switched to PoS, and GPUs are now available! By sheer unfathomable coincidence, ASX has poured money into a failed technology, and the technology ASX has poured money into failed to bear fruit. By sheer unfathomable coincidence, millions of people lost their savings because of Blockchain, and Blockchain as a whole is experiencing a "winter". Will Fedex technology bear fruit? If it won't, I'm sure it'll be just another unfathomable coincidence, nobody can really be sure Blockchain technology was the cause of Fedex failure. If it will, I'm sure it'll be the proof Blockchain technology was the future all along and all the savings, fuel and GPUs burnt along the way (without causing shortages at all) were worth it.

TULIPS! 
 
 

Hear me out: crypto is not a pyramid, because nobody promised anyone any profits. It was a traditional bubble, pumped by new people going in and collapsing when enough people realise it doesn't actually have the value.

I can, after years of seeing shitcoins fall to scams, creators dumping stock and running, hacks, volatile pricing, NFTs fading into irrelevancy except for the few people trying to prop it up and get rich and exchanges collapsing with no recourse to get your money back over and over, if someone is STILL invested in it after all of that, i have exactly 0 sympathy for anyone that loses money in crypto now.

The same way everbody else does, by paying for it with money you've earned doing actual work, instead of wasting a ton of precious resources to generate random bits.
 
Oh please, don't kid yourself. No one is mining because running a GPU 24/7 is a load of fun. They're doing it in the hopes of making a profit. You just said it yourself, you're doing it to pay bills. That's not a hobby, that's a business.
 
An extremely wasteful one to boot. Unlike any other business, the "work" you're doing isn't benefitting anyone but yourself. You're not producing anything of value to society as a whole.
 
And also unlike any other business mining has no incentive to become more efficient over time. The faster the network gets, the more energy is needed to produce the same result. The whole thing is designed to be as wasteful as possible.

Best place. Its not like Texas is running out of all fresh water in next 20years.

To be clear this is how business work. They charge what the market will bear. Sony knows people will pay it. If people didnt pay it, the costs would come down. To be clear Im not supporting the $70 price tag. I rarely will pay $50 for a game on the PC, most of the time I wait for a steam sale to get them cheap. Which generally doesn't happen on the consoles very often, at least for first party games.  
 
I wonder what the true goal of this lawsuit is. I mean 9 million claimants, after lawyer fees everyone gets like $5. I wonder if they are going to try to force Sony to open up the platform to other stores? This could have implications for Microsoft, at least for the Xbox side of the business. 

I'm sorry, but I can't be that fussy about pricing. A $70 game may not be more enjoyable than a $60 game, but it's a $10 difference — I can complain about arbitrary price increases without demanding that a game be better than an all-time classic to justify the higher cost. And frankly, your mindset implies that games must never increase in price for the rest of eternity, which just isn't realistic.
 
Also, exactly how are modern console games offering less features than PC versions "most of the time?" Many of the definitive games on the market right now (the Call of Duty series, Elden Ring, Fortnite and the like) are virtually identical across platforms, with the only real changes involving more advanced graphics settings and unofficial modding support.
 
The price of a game is determined by its production costs and expected profit margins; quality just affects how long it's likely to stay at its original price. And like it or not, rising production costs and inflation mean prices go up. Sometimes that might be artificially high, but not always.

That's the usual Moore's law is dead reporting. Report every rumor, even the contradicting ones. You'll be right at some point.
