I wonder when are people going to wake up to the fact that congress likes this. The government very much hates Iran, Lebanon and Palestine but does not want to get directly involved. Israel being Israel and bombing everyone around essentially moves much of the attention and blame away from US.

This is also why US so heavily sponsors Israel. It’s funny to me that people think Israel is using US when it’s the other way around, it’s the Israelis that are taking most of the risk and dying far more than US servicemen

To be fair, 14+ years of supporting a device with software updates does not seem that bad, and the thing if I remember correctly was VERY cheap.

EDIT: Okay, I’m genuinely confused about the downvotes. Why is 14+ years of device support not good, Lemmy?

EDIT2: Okay, I see the problem now. Definitely not like phones no longer getting updates, it breaks the core functionality.

You really aren’t following news, are you?

EDIT: For the other oblivious downvoters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_peace_plan

There are still some minor incidents (scroll down to violations), but generally the war is over.

It’s Youtube.

To be fair, the article says this affects only end-of-life and unpatched devices. Having an outdated OpenWRT would also be dangerous.

I have Mikrotik router, this was fixed quite some time ago, my firmware is up to date, I don’t stress about this.

Psychological addiction (what you talked about) vs physical addiction (what OP meant)

Add it to the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_impeachment_resolutions_introduced_against_Donald_Trump

I’m having a deja-vu because I remember this exact post from like a week ago and the second comment was exactly yours

If only switching was this fun

Jokes aside, by logic, isn’t pedophilia a controversial topics in US right now?

I’m seeing a pattern in that list

Not really. USA actually had a pretty good reputation after WW2 and before wars in ME. For quite some time, US actually looked like a good country.

Fundamentally, you are saying “making money bad” which is just a naive and highly uneducated argument to have.

Yup, you missed my point, but I really don’t think I’m capable of better explaining how what is valve doing is possible only because they essentially have PC monopoly.

Also, it’s funny that you talk about “monopolistic”, because epic has probably engaged in more monopolistic behavior with the EGS than steam ever has

This is stupid. Valve telling developers “you can’t sell your game cheaper on other platforms than on steam” is taking the cake away alone. Textbook anti-trust lawsuit (which might be already happening?)

You somehow keep ignoring the fact that valve makes more money than any other corporation per employee. They are clearly over-charging and you cannot argue against this. Stop defending megacorporations. Or just close your eyes and go gamble on valve games

You missed my point. I’ll repeat it.

30% cut was fine when infrastructure was just not there yet, but 64GB HDD no longer costs 100€ and internet is not metered in megabytes. Like I said, they’re making more money per employee than other corporations. If you genuinely think Valve and Gabe’s fleet of Yachts is not monopolistic squeezing/pricing, then keep on defending corpos.

If they’d have an ounce of fear against competition, they would be lowering that cut to Epic’s levels (which is also not a shining beacon, but you get my point, they clearly enjoy their status and everyone is paying for it)

Seriously, we need more companies doing nothing and taking 30% fee, becoming super rich corporations making more money than any other company per employee, while devs wonder if they’ll break even

You can see who is downloading from you. Granted, that’s only IP

POV: You’re six

Disney or sora really wasn’t that big of a deal in AI (due to alternatives). OpenAI is probably right to shift focus to coding. Disney is probably still going to go after AI, just different company.

There are routers made in US?
