There’s probably a sociology theory that would apply, but my guess would be a loss of 33% of active users over the course of 6 months.
But the Mozilla corporation is so shady! /s 🙄
I don’t think anyone is commenting “Who else is listening in February 2024?!” on Practical Engineering videos about how fish swim through turbines.
Ew. Who reads YouTube comments anyway?
My guess is that the increased price of phone have led more adults to find a mid-range android coupled with the increased support for OS updates from Google and others.
Because we have been pornifying asian women on the internet for decades. Does that really beg the question posed in the title?
Sick, so now I get to worry about the fucking emergency exits being ripped off the plane I’m flying on because the network connected torque wrench was hacked and displayed the proper torque setting while under torquing the bolts.
Can we not connect every fucking thing to the Internet?
Maybe try metro if you haven’t yet? I just started dabbling in it a few weeks ago on a spare android phone and it seems to be fine
Consider: Pirate everything. It’s just a race to the bottom. The average you can charge for an ad tiered service will just continue shifting up as each streaming service gently increases their ad-free prices. If it was ~$15/mo avg before this, now Netflix sees the avg price go to $15.57/mo. If you’re going to increase the price by 57¢ you might as well make it a nice round $1…Then Hulu sees the average go to $16.13 so then they need to increase their prices. So on and so forth until we’re back to paying $60/mo like we did for cable TV.
And here’s the kicker. They’re legally obligated to do this because they could be sued by shareholders for not trying to make more money. And that’s without mentioning that they actually prefer people to watch the ads because they generate more revenue from sponsored advertising. Pirating is ethical and cool. Paying subscription fees to trillion dollar corporations is cringe.
I see nothing wrong with example #2 if Jamaal’s got hops. Am I in the wrong?
Jack Dorsey didn’t really have a choice since Twitter is a public company and he made an offer that was way over the per share price. If he refused to sell, the stockholders could have filed a lawsuit for not acting in their best interest.
Say you list a table lamp on your website at $100, tax included. Well, if you sell that table lamp to a buyer in Connecticut (where the tax rate is a flat 6.35%) then you’re required to remit $6.35 in sales tax to the state of Connecticut on that transaction.
But if you sell the same table lamp to a buyer in Aberdeen, Washington, where the sales tax rate is 9.08%, then you’d be required to remit $9.08 in sales tax to the state of Washington.
As you can see, you are cutting into your profit margin by including tax in your pricing.
Further, US customers are accustomed to paying their local sales tax rates. We’re so accustomed to paying odd amounts in sales tax that paying a flat rate might surprise us or leave us a little confused.
This is anti-consumer bullshit nonsense. All they did was hid their only real “con” behind a wall of text. “As you can see, you are cutting into your profit margin by including sales tax”
And the last paragraph is fucking stupid too. People are too used to seeing numbers, so other numbers will confuse them!
I used optimize, but what I really meant was organize
I’m new. I only just took my first few steps into the world of Linux like 2-3 weeks ago to set up a Pi-hole VPN. From what I can gather in other comments is that flatpak is a program that optimizes storage by keeping any program and it’s dependent files in one place instead of having dependencies spread out amongst system folders. The drawback would be that running simple commands like OP did don’t work because the files are either held in an unexpected place according to the repository or they files were technically installed in their respective folders, then moved to their respective container by flatpak which marks them as having been “used”. The other drawback seems to be system overhead. The container system must use a bunch of storage.
That’s what I took from the post and comments anyway.
Now, selling a prototype that was sent to you to make a video on is not good obviously, but as long as they get compensated for it, it should be no big deal. Logistical fuck ups happen and this isn’t new or uncommon. The whole idea of Linus ruining their public image based on a “bad faith” representation of the product has little standing in my mind. The crux of his assessment of the product is spot on and you also touched on this. There’s like 4 people willing to spend as much on a cooling block made from billet copper as their GPU. Regardless of current Gen or last Gen. Most people are just going to save that money to buy the next generation graphics card or upgrade elsewhere in their build where the price/performance is much more reasonable.
Wow! You absolutely know what you’re talking about! You did an amazing job clearing that up for me. I’ll save this comment in case I need to come back to it. Thank you!
No kidding. No one needs 64oz of soda with their meal. McDonald’s is actually one of the few fast food places that saw an increase in customers over the last few years and they’re planning on releasing a $5 meal soon.
