Remember folks: Google is actively blocking adblock on their platform and a LOT of people are moving back to Firefox due to more effective anti-youtube-adblock.

I had a similar blast-from-the-past reaction. Didn't hear "Core2Duo" since about 2012.

...the larger the project, the more complex it gets and unless you get a solid team in ALL vertical aspects of production, it will fail miserably. You don't just get a handful of big names such as Zack Snyder to put on the poster and call it a day.

Next question.

...Deloitte comes back. For a very particular reason: they probably didn't end their decades-long contract for the same ethical reasons as EY. Likely it was a price issue (some may argue EY's could also have been under the hood of course...).

If Deloitte was willing to take SuperMicro's shenanigans over the past 2 decades, they are probably willing to come back. For the right price. Now that EY made this exit that price may not only be more acceptable to SuperMicro, it may also have become higher. Which is funny to say the least.

What Jaguar did is awfully related to what Apple did via OS updates for older iphones to perform worse in order to keep battery consistency. Or what VW made after dieselgate in Europe and US by recalling their vehicles just to knee-cap them by reducing effective horsepower (for achieving ecological restrictions) and not compensating the owners of the cars that thought they bought an efficient, yet powerful car.

Basically they're changing product spec after selling them, which should induce in compensation to owners or even right to return for full value.

Comment title says it all.

...I'd argue VMware _IS_ the ramsomware.

it's the hardware limitation of "we think this provides more value than you paid"

Yes. And my particular "sunk cost" is worth multiple times itself and I didn't even invest early or directly, I mined. Sooooo....

The thing is, I'm not even bragging because I own and valued a few bucks worth in crypto: I'm saying that because I still find work requests in the field and it is still paying quite a bit (especially DeFi, but not just). So it's not just not "sunk cost" (because as a store of value it's doing just fine), but also people willing to invest their time and professional commitment to it, at the C and seed levels

We have automatic and semi-assisted, ONLINE-ONLY tax preparation software, fully-funded by the government. And is is incredibly efficient for most people. I am betting it didn't cost more to do than what it cost in a single state of the US to pick up the trash for a single day.

you definitely don't follow chess much to say nobody cares for drama, let alone saying nobody cares about Magnus Carlsen

At least they temporarily had a studio in Austin, and now have moved back to SV if not mistaken. At least it's what I got from their recent youtube channel

Seriously, what they did with the Legion line this year is inexcusable. They made the best line of laptops last year, just to take everything good and make it more expensive to buy their laptops. Not to mention segmentation hell. 5k USD LAPTOPS WTF

so what you're saying is the ICC doesn't only engage with losers. But also with Putin, who, according to you, is not a loser. So wild guess: maybe the ICC is supposed to be about criminals?!?!?!

There's a reason both the US and Russia don't recognize the ICC. It is the same reason why the US has specific law to allow themselves to invade The Hague if they deem it necessary to free their military personnel (including the top ranked person: a standing US president). Countries that care little about diplomatic convention scare me, and that's why NATO isn't really that safe for other members, when the US has most of the nukes, and France, UK, maybe Italy have the odd stockpile.

He meant Putin. But ok, let's play your game: let's make fun of propaganda photos of war criminal riding shirtless on horse. While he laughs at his entirely poor population from his megamansion that's not theoretically his, but really is.
