People will have to pay $20/month for a browser w/o AI. :-(

l think this comment wins the thread.

The time has come for a European University CSE department group to reverse-engineer HDMI 2.1 and publish a compatible implementation on Github.

There's a solid history of this category of work going back 30 years.

They have certain legal protections for compatibility and public interest work.

This 1990's licensing model is antiquated and obsolete.

IEEE and ITU have abdicated their responsibility so sombody like Valve needs to do for transport spec what AV1 did for codecs and linux did for operating systems.

"A rising tide lifts all boats" is common among free marketeers and communists but opposed by fascists.

Xbox has always been weak, and likely has never been profitable, and hardware has never really been Microsoft's thing. Xbox getting only 10% market share, however, is new territory. This may be leading to more pain than Microsoft is willing to take. Back in the Genesis days, would you have thought that Sega would ever walk away from consoles?

People who can't do simple arithmetic are so fun.

If you haven't worked it out, doubling your net worth every day for a month means you end the month with one billion times what you started with.

Multiply that by two million...

(a) Declare bankruptcy.
(b) Use money to buy - I mean, lobby for - I mean get pardon. (Will work for 3 more years)
(c) Successively rename company: "MacroStrategy", "MegaStrategy", ... "MAGAStrategy".
(d) Goto "a".

The US armed forces are 2.8 million strong. The DoD employs about million more civilians on top of that. That's not even counting contractors that the DoD may be buying licenses for. 2 million Microsoft 365 licenses doesn't seem that outlandish.

Hegseth double-tapped it for him. :-)
