...seems to be trying to squeeze out profit like a private equity/investment firm before finally selling the IP and killing off the product entirely.

Sort of makes sense given the rise of all the free VM and cluster software out there... much of which is superior to the garbage vmware offers.

...theaters are dying.

We've seen 2 movies at a theater in the last 5 or 6 years.... both experiences were overpriced and pretty terrible.

Dirty uncomfortable seats.... sticky floors... $5 waters that cost $1 anywhere else... stale popcorn... and people on their phones and talking through half the movie.

Why would I EVER spend another dollar at a theater when I can just stream the movie at home a couple of months later often for free.

....there are a lot of underskilled morons screwing things up for the rest of us, hence the push for something a bit safer.

If you're skilled enough to write good code without the nannies and such, good for you, but don't push back on something safer for everybody else just because you don't feel like using it.

It sort of reminds me of all the kids these days who are terrified to drive a car without an automatic trans, a rear view camera, and sensors all over the car to save them from their own mistakes..... it's kinda sad, a little amusing, but in the end it won't hurt you one bit.

If Wish and and Facebook Marketplace had an illegitimate love child, Temu would be it.

...my wife told me so.

...may not always be the solution but some of these scammers could probably benefit from an epic ass whoopin.

Would love to see a video where these bastards get raided by the cops AND their mothers with belts/chanclas/paddles in hand.

....it'll play for you while you eat, text, and take potty break.

....it's nuclear powered and has a 100 year warranty.

Single slot low profile low power quadro cards like the P600 or P620 supports physx and can be found well under $50 including shipping.

No need to waste space or power on something bigger just for physx.... just sayin.

how about ACTUAL inconvenience... nothing annoys me more than a company demanding I use MY phone for their bullshit.

Fuck digital coupons, and double fuck digital menus.

Another AI article....???

...modern art is trash.

Most of it is simply a means to launder money.

If AI is better it's only because the nobody is actually trying to make anything decent, they're just rushing making trash and using it to move large sums of money around the world.

...to fork it.

It's like grandma always said.... If the person in charge is an intolerable cunt, move on and make your own.... that's not exactly how she said it, but it's close enough. ;-)

...where we live it's a huge problem.

The brightness and color of aftermarket LED bulbs are bad enough.... but when you also take into account the fact that the LEDs are usually not in the same place as the element in a standard bulb you have even bigger issues with the light being improperly focused especially in reflector style housings(this is less of an issue in projector housings, but still an issue).

Then there are all the lifted truck coal rolling dude bros with their multiple off road light bars that they run full time that are often far brighter than any headlight.

Personally I think every single one of them should be charged with endangering the lives of other drivers, spend a month in jail, and have their cars impounded for 90 days at their expense.

...how so many unskilled and underskilled people think they're worth far more than they are.

Instead of learning a new skill that's more valuable to an employer or starting their own business they just throw tantrums demanding more money while not doing anything new or additional to earn it.
