his new inflatable Fed Reserve pal, I'll soon join the club. I'm investing in wheelbarrows.

For good or bad, they manufacture the most stuff. Sticking only with alternatives would limit our choice and the average prices would be higher. We'd have to shoot our own economic foot to pull that off.

I'm sure the US gov't infects their software also, by the way. Spy vs. Spy.

All the big countries are slimebags and the smaller ones don't have the resources to be global slimebags.

Star Trek called, they want their logo back.

(P.S. Thanks for the suggestion!)

I didn't say "don't sell 8k", I'm only saying the vast majority of regular people don't need it. Slashdotters are rarely regular.

Microsoft, have set bizarre profit goals and divisions are doing everything they can to meet them. The Xbox division (which handles all gaming for Microsoft) has a 30% profit target, for example, which means they are both squeezing customers extremely hard with price increases, and shutting down development

Many companies have the option of milking away customer goodwill and future R&D in order to have short-term profits, but eventually the truth has to come out. I suspect MS are playing AI Market Share Chicken with the other Big AI co's, as none wants to be the first to raise a white flag because then the investment spoils go to the others.

I otherwise wouldn't care, it would be their own problem, but the bursting of the bubble likely will take the entire economy with it.

You got the wrong TV, silly head!

majority of people don't need that much resolution. It's marketing shit.

seems like [Don is] doing so purely for spite.

YES! Revengenomics is the Don Way. He said so many times, even per Covid supplies in 1st term. "But he was just joking" Fock Dat!

Imagine a Beowulf cluster-fuck of clowns.

You don't have to, they arrived.

...each of Don's sub-clowns wants their own circus.

But bots flubbing up is better click-bait. There's an anti AI movement going on. For example, people who post AI political memes tend to get voted down on social media sites, with replies saying "get that AI slop outta here!" even if well-rendered, yet they don't complain nearly as much about bad Photoshop or MS-Paint.

The height of the PC waste dump piles serve as Nadella's phallic temples.
