Maybe soon sodium ion!

Higher cycle counts, reduced capacity, but also not dangerous.

Sorry, but inflation is a not great reasoning.

Wages in a lot of the world (especially the US) have been completely left behind by inflation, so many people are paid very similarly to how they were paid in the 2000s. That is the entire driver behind the insane wealth inequality gap.

Video games are a luxury good, so if you up the price (especially for shitty cranked out AAA games with little replay value and dubious quality) then they will see profits actually fall because so many people will see those games as not worth it. Not to mention that orders of magnitude more people are just struggling to pay rent now with skyrocketing housing prices (corporations switching to housing for investments and buying up all property) and worsening working conditions.

The reason companies are switching to subscriptions and micro transactions en masse is because they just work, take minimal effort, and make massive profits. They are literally exploiting flaws in the human psyche.

According to blizzard, 1 single horse skin microtransaction in world of warcraft made more money than all of the sales from the entire game of StarCraft 2: wings of liberty.

Plus, let’s say all of this was successful in switching the content of games to less exploitative means of earning profits. Do you think developers will be treated better? Do you think shareholders will forgo their worship of yearly increasing profits and treat employers fairly? More likely they would just increase the price and double dip by micro transactions, loot boxes, and battle passes for those precious profits.

I would love to go back to the better times of games also, but corporate greed prevents it at every turn.

Difference with laptops and desktops.

Work laptops I almost never turn off. Hibernation is better because being able to save 10 minutes getting everything set back up is valuable.

Desktop gets turned off when I plan to not use it for a while.

Server is always on except for updates.

725 million actually. I think it is almost double the next expensive game.

They are trying to do something on a never-before scale, but the company seems to have been run like complete shit.

They better get great overtime pay or be able to take like 2 weeks extra paid holiday after this bullshit, but I would guess not.

If you think about it though, it is actually easier to find replacement parts for 70s-90s systems because there is now a small industry around it as well as collectors and there was a differrnt culture around it.

Replacing things from 2000s-2010s systems is the bigger issues. They were all taken over by giant corpos with all repair parts, manuals, and software restricted and hidden in the name of “profit” and “protecting corporate IP” and now it is not profitable enough for them to spend resources keeping stock of old parts or driver installers, so into the trash they go, never to be able to be seen again, and reproducing them also is note challenging with increasing system complexity.

Interesting because the jellyfin app can double tap to skip as well as download media for offline playback.

I have both and UI seems like the only difference between the two (findroid looks MUCH better) except you have no access to any admin, profile, or library settings or functions (like scanning for new media or fixing metadata) in findroid.

Belgian so Sunday fries lol.

Otherwise normally recipes from Soph’s plant kitchen. Lentils and chickpeas are amazing.

It is common knowledge.

Bots can scrape PDFs.

I had about 50 applications of proof where bots scraped the information from my PDF and auto-filled it into the next forms which are again simply re-typing in all of the information from your resume again (which most medium or large companies use anyway which makes the entire point moot). They can scrape PDFs unless you hand-write your resume with bad handwriting so the OCR can’t pick it up.

Unless they got their ATS system from aliexpress, it can scrape PDFs.

Literally every single browser can open a PDF.

Is she admitting that their organization only uses discontinued, insecure Internet Explorer to use the internet? Is she also opening word files in Microsoft word 2005?

Survivorship bias doesn’t really work when there are no survivors lol

I just realized i haven’t downloaded an image on my phone for over a year

Yes but once you make that much, then amassing more money turns into a game of how you can fuck over the most people to increase your value. See: every billionaire in existance.

If you can borrow against that at any time you want (read: 90% of billionaires), then you have that money effectively liquid and untaxed.

Then they will take out a bigger loan to pay off the existing loan and as such, pay almost nothing in taxes, the stocks that they borrow against grow faster than the interest on their loans, and they can repeat this process until they die where their debt just gets eaten by taxpayers because they transfer assets at the right time to children and then their estate will pay back the debt after death (just transfer stock ownership to lenders probably)

Even if the stock market crashes during this time, they can declare bankruptcy, free themselves of their debt, and then sell assets and they already have a huge golden elevator ready to bring them back up.

Non profits can still be super corrupt, especially in the US as they don’t have to disclose any money flow so a huge percent of the time it goes to the board of directors.

This is why there are separate rules and standard for implantable, wearable, and supporting medical devices.

You should see Belgium, many children refuse to move out of the same village as their mothers, much less 50km. It is probably similar in italy for example. Would be interesting to see state on Europe and Asia too!

On the final episode with my rewatch

I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

Vs

A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.

Yes but that whole line of a few years also suffered many breaking bugs from HMD like media sound being completely borked in an update and crackling and unusable for literally months before they fixed it. WhatsApp voice messages were hell for 4-5 months.

Or the USB port being so low quality that there were rampant replacements needed after as little as 6 months (my own 7.1 needed 5 replacement USB ports in the 2 years I used it. Never had that from a phone before or after)

Or the short battery life after an update second to only the HTC 10’s rapid battery drain bug.

The 2018-2019 HMD years were really rough for software as far as phone usability, plus the bad USB-C part number they continued using during that time.

Otherwise they were decent looking, decent performing, cheaper phones with bad cameras.
