There is a subset of boomers who do this shit.

Usually it’s someone whose first email / phone was a company phone and never moved to a personal phone.

Still wild whenever I see it happen.

They will just delay any increase at the register for twice the average loiter time of a shopper as no one is going to complain about a discount. Any decrease would happen immediately. If that runs afoul of any laws they will just do it daily after close.

In Canada we have had these for a while. In some stores you can even trigger an LED on the price tag from the app to help find an item apparently.

While this does seem like it sucks the horse has been out of the barn for some time. You can see it on Amazon or airline sites.

Just another way to squeeze us just a little more.

Perfect place to be in to get a bailout. Nothing better than to pump it to the max and try and make it some one else’s problem

The principal issue is this, Amazon commingles stock. This means that there is one box for a particular SKU. If a seller sends product to Amazon for fulfillment it gets dumped into the bin with everyone else’s.

This means that if a seller sends counterfeit or poor products to Amazon it gets mixed in with the real ones from other sellers or Amazon’s own stock. This causes major problems as you can see.

I suspect he just goes back to the star dew hole when he feels stuck on haunted chocolatier.

Stardew was a passion project and has made enough money at this point that he could just retire so I expect he would quit when he has had enough.

They do, however a lot of people have known that for a while.

The large index funds have a lot of influence when it comes to voting.

As more and more people just invest in ETFs I do wonder if we are headed for some delightful market crash as a result.

I’m not even close to an expert though… Which is why I use index funds in the first place. Just wondering how I’m going to get screwed before it eventually happens.

Most people don’t fake agent strings but the bots sure do.

The actual thing obscured by this graph is the amount of users. Most people use mobile devices now and companies are incentivized to use apps there instead of actual desk top machines.

If you can’t install something like EndeavourOS or tumble weed then you likely were not going to be able to reload an os anyway.

Installing vanilla arch is a very useful activity to do at least once so you know how the system works but don’t have to use vanilla Arch and can use any of the derivatives so long as it has the latest kernel / drivers for your hardware.

I mean maybe Netflix will add those completed movies.

On new hardware it’s generally easier to use a rolling release distro in my experience.

You’re more likely to have a newer kernel and drivers that support things like wifi cards.

What I meant more is less that the technologies change but that the users have. Users were more tech savvy by nessessity.

There are plenty of people online now who would never have made it before.

Those were different times.

The average Internet user is a phone user who only knows apps.

I would say centralization might be required to reach Facebook like sizes but I’m not sure that is a valuable goal.

Right?

If he is the head of AI it’s literally his job to understand why people are resisting adoption.

Likely he knows the answer but to say it out loud would be admitting something he can’t.

You don’t need to test every distro.

Honestly you could capture 90 percent of the market with just arch and Debian/Ubuntu.

You could add 2 or 3 of the gaming focused distros for comparison however since they tend to be built on top of the two above things are more likely going to vary based on configuration more than which distro or de you are using.

Should be but at this point basically aren’t.

You can’t run AOSP on most phones and if you could you wouldn’t get the user experience most people expect from a phone.

People stopped needing more processing power in their laptops years ago. For the majority of users a computer has long been a thin client for Chrome.

Since a lot of arm design has been around efficiency and performance per watt they would be a natural choice for laptops.

The majority of the steam deck SKUs were produced prior to the AI memory crunch.

These steam machines are being produced in a market where memory is 3 or 4 times more expensive.

This box will be more than a steam deck. Probably 1000 bucks or so.

The cars are decent value for money but the dealerships are an absolute scam

They don’t want body kits they want a kit car. There are a bunch on option but they are usually servicing a very specific niche in the market. Sports cars or rally fighters or the like.

They did but they are actually far worse. John Deere is into some DRM bullshit but Kia / Hyundai dealerships have the worst record for recommending things you don’t actually need and then over charging you.
