I think the last one I bought new was Burnout Paradise

$39 is probably still a huge markup.

Why would you even joke about shooting someone or committing a school shooting? Not saying what Snapchat did was right, but she kinda asked for it in my opinion.

Even if that’s true it doesn’t invalidate the 10% market share, I doubt that all 57% of Windows machines are actual users.

This is where I stopped reading. We’re looking at OS X, which was replaced by macOS in 2016, at 21.14%, while macOS itself sits at 8.6%.

Statcounter says on their market share page for macOS that they can’t really reliably show usage stats for anything past 10.15, due to a bug in Apple WebKit. The actual market share of macOS is very likely much higher.

Granted, Windows 11 is not a perfect OS

You don’t say…

Of course they want to make upgrading more attractive because it is less attractive now that it ever has been.

If you want people to buy new stuff, making that stuff different from the old stuff they already own would be a good idea.

In a sane socioeconomic system there would still be a chance for him to lose it all

I guess by better I mostly mean “without AI”

you can use it to mock up commercial developments

Fair, but aren’t there better solutions for this already?

So it’s just another solution in search of a problem basically?

What was even the point of this; what was the intended use case?

I’m serious, I have no idea who this is for. Other than to show people that their AI can badly superimpose pictures of Godzilla over maps.

To be fair, the Germans weren’t the only ones cheating emissions tests. As far as I’ve heard, Harley-Davidson used special tunes on their bikes to pass emissions testing. Never heard of BMWs just randomly bursting into flames, though, gotta look into that.

I don’t know about US car makers, but I can imagine them having done similar stuff

It’s funny how much of a joke the German car brands have become.

VW shoving touch controls down our throats, BMW selling their cars after they’ve been already sold, Audi and Mercedes sticking fake exhausts on their $70k cars, and all of them just desperately catering to the Chinese market while simultaneously not getting EVs…

I really hope the AI bubble pops soon and takes at least some of these stupid companies with it. They’ve been operating at a GIANT loss for years at this point, how much longer will this go on?

Properly manufactured Audio CDs are actually quite resilient, obviously not so much to scratches, but out of all my 100+ CDs (I’d say half of which are older than 25 years) only one has disc rot and that one is a pressing made by PDO who’re known for their bad pressings that are prone to disc rot.

I don’t really store my CDs in a special way either.
