I mean, that is really it, at the root cause level, Tick-Tock is gone (and has been for a while really) because they no longer have the people and teams in place to innovate. They lost those people really a decade ago now when they sat on their heels and were content to watch AMD struggle with their bulldozer designs and decided to stop their then very regular Tick-Tock approach that lead to the dominate the market, and instead add additional months/years between when the cadences continued to improve the manufacturing lines (the "Tick") because their technology was easily 2 generations better than their competition, and all the energy efficiencies, power usage, heating requirements showed that to be the case. This was why they dominated in the datacenters, which is where the real money is located in computing. But the rested while AMD continued to innovate, and purchase ATI, getting them a foothold in the then just emerging GPU computing space (a market space which has since kicked off the mainstream AI computing revolution)...

I believe that it really needs to add "Enshittrification" as a category/tag. Part of this very lawsuit is about the enshittrification at WP Engine, after, surprise, a private equity group bought/buyout and stripping of functionality/features all in the name of cost cutting before parting out/selling out all the rest of the company it bought. I can't think of a better example of enshittrification than this kind of behavior.

This will certainly be discussed and looked at for decades from now in the future. The missteps that have occurred and the technology advances and shifts the spelled the downfall of the once complete dominant technology company in the world that led the drive and datacenters of the internet's initial rise and expansion, only to collapse on itself due to resting on its technological lead and loss of the key internal personnel that drove their dominance in chip manufacturing and the ramifications those items had in the years to follow with the rest of the chip manufacturing world catching and surpassing Intel's once overwhelmingly dominant lead.

Thank you.

email is simple....I don't need something to Auto sort or manipulate my incoming or outgoing emails.

I don't like a fucking web interface...never as clean and snappy as the local app based version.

I don't need Clippy or Copilot helping me with it....

Good ones like at Nick's Boots are going to cost you a pretty penny...

But they'll last forever and can be resoled as needed....

Why would anyone want to remove the punctuation keys to begin with???

My country is about to destroy what we call the voting rights act

You are NOT AN AMERICAN and do not even live here in the US.

Please quit trying to portray yourself as such....JFC.....this gets old.

You have no say in how we run ourselves....

Same here...I don't watch them and they clutter up my subscriptions tab...

I want a way to TURN THEM OFF completely.....

Hell my first thought was "SMART BED....is this really a thing?"

I had to double check to make sure it wasn't April 1st.

Seriously, WTF would anyone need a bed hooked to the fucking internet?!?!?

Maybe the US needs to start electing adults to fix things. Although you may no longer have that option.

Govt. Ineptness is NOT a new thing in the US....it's been around since I was born.

And seriously, you can drop the stupid "kings, no more elections " thing....it's getting old and it's just not even a concern.

If it were the case, it's the worst attempt at a dictator ship I've ever seen.....this administration is freeing up oppressive gun legislation the libs have been pushing for years.....protests are still allowed (except when they turn violent).....and I see no suppression of speech, unlike the previous admin.

If for some reason Trump was trying to overtake the govt....he really isn't doing the first things you'd need to do for that end goal.

Imagine being able to get the medical care you need without having to worry about it bankrupting you.

That's already the case with me. I have decent insurance through work....

Hell, I recently had to have surgery, and it didn't break the bank at all.

And I guess you're lucky over there for here dealing with the DMV is generally an all day cluster fuck, if you can get lucky and only deal with it 1 days.

There are some things the govt needs to do, by necessity that private could not do it...ie Defense, etc.

But I have yet to find anything offered or managed by the govt. (City, State or Fed) in the US that they do better and more efficiently than the private sectors.

BMVs/DMVs are state level, not fed. Only thing the fed has involvement in at that level is interstate CDLs.

It's an allegory, just an example of "A" govt entity that is almost universally known to be bad, inefficient and generally crummy.

The fed offices are not any better...last time I had to go into the Social Security office, I think for Real ID....what a fucking nightmare...took almost all day just to get an official copy of my SS card lost in Katrina.

There are a number of other agency examples....none of them positive.

Peak stupidity is allowing, let alone supporting private companies to have control over your health care.

Still....better than having the Federal bureaucracy in charge of it....

Ugh....can you imagine health centers ala DMV?

*shudder*

Don't forget....booze on an airplane also seems to be exceptionally good too!!!

Something about some beer or a good mixed drink just seems to make the works GREAT at 30K feet....

It really needs the cart slot or some way to add games that people may own. I highly doubt that there will be any official way (I suspect there are too many copyright issues even with games that are 40 years old).

I did at least see that some of the games are many of the good ones, like "Shark! Shark!", "Astrosmash", "Sea Battle", and "Night Stalker". But some of the best games are probably missing, like Commando, Atlantis, Advanced D&D, Advanced D&D Treasure of the Tarmin, Tron: Deadly Discs, Beauty and the Beast, Thundercastle, SKI, Hover Force, Demon Attack....
