Not an engineer, I see. Some problems have multiple "causes".

I want them to fix the JavaScript related memory leaks in Mobile so I don't have to kill it several times a day. I guess that's too much to ask since this has been going on for literally years.

I was thinking the same thing. It must have a whole raft of licensing fees on it. If the price keeps enough people out of the market for it then these will turn out to be some of the most valuable minifigs of all time. I wonder what it costs if you buy the same pieces (less the figures) via parts orders.

... with a Linux setup on her brand new good Lenovo laptop with the lates W1ndows pre-installed. Backed up her Thunderbird Mail directory, wipe-installed Mint Linux and set it up in a few minutes. The difference in boot time and responsiveness is night and day.

I started at a new company a year back and hat one of their Win Laptops for a few weeks before my dev MB Air arrived. The system was so finicky to the point of being unusable. I was speechless. I fundamentally don't get why people even use W1ndows for regular stuff these days. If all you need is Mail, Web and some digital project and content management. there is absolutely no need for anything other than a lean modern Linux. The last version of W1n that I used for anything meaningful was Win2k and that was just about 25 years ago.

Totally bizarre.

... big techs obscene cash reserves and not so much third-party or VC investment money, so I'm not too concerned for the market, to be honest. The environment and the looming AI threat is a different issue, but's that's not so much about the market. If the bubble pops I hope for little impact for ordinary folks.

You can homeschool with no income. What I was saying is that many rich people over millennia hired tutors to teach their kids. And therefore the reasoning of Zuckerberg to teach more kids may derive from that. I speculated it could have expanded as a means of providing his kids with companionship, or it could have been some fucked up Will Smith style "school". I have no idea without more information.

Took this far to find a comment about the topic rather than a personal attack on the reporter.

MAGA life.

Because the tax code is a worm-hole infested pile of rat droppings that only a politician could love, and all those "deductions" have to be recorded somehow. The easiest place is the taxpayer since they are the ones taking the deductions.

Awesome self own there

I am in every way anti-DRM, but it's ubiquitous. A lot of publishers won't publish on GOG for this reason. I agree that Epic is arguing in bad faith. The enemy of my enemy is convenient, nothing more, so I am not delusional about Epic but I still enjoy their actions.

TBH I usually forget to go look at the free games they are typically so underwhelming, though there have been some legitimate greats too.

There are only two features of Steam beyond buying installing games which I care about, and one of them sucks. I like that it handles updates for me, but that is also the bad one, because practically none of the updates are differential. I want them to make that easier so that publishers actually do it. I know that it requires significant support from publishers when they use packed data files, but even that is something that could be addressed. (If the files are compressed individually instead of using compressed archives, then binary patches are feasible.) The other feature is Proton. Anything else including friends, achievements, and even reviews is all optional to me. I enjoy some of those features, but I would still use Steam without them.

I see I'm still living rent-free in some heads.

U MAD [I'm alive] BRO?

And ammo. Yeah some people have thousands of rounds of ammo. The military has millions of rounds, and enough men to go with them to effectively utilize suppressive fire. If you do get in an old-fashioned firefight with soldiers they can simply outbullet you if for some reason they don't have an armed backpack drone. Which by the way they totally do.

What demographic? Poor and disadvantaged? You know events like these are held by white people where there's only white people, right?

You completely lost me right here, bro. OH THE BOOTYANITY TWERKING ON COP CARS

You get that the unemployment rate is literally designed to be a falsehood because it stops counting people when they have been unemployed for a while, right? The methodology used for it has no concept of who is looking for work at all, it's based on a fundamentally bogus assumption that people who haven't found any for long enough aren't looking.
