I mean the full story is worth reading/watching/listening, IMO (I listened). Especially regarding the legal details. About how he was charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, even though he’s not a bank and handled no money at any time, and even though legal precedent says otherwise.

I mean Valve sells the Steam Deck(s)?
- Comment on Ford ends F-150 Lightning production, starts battery storage business 1 week ago:
if you actually need a work truck, the Lightning is deficient in the #1 thing that makes a work truck a work truck.
yeah…no
The “#1 thing” depends on the application. It can be power, towing capacity, payload capacity, just a bed in general, the massive amount of electrical power available to power tools, cost of ownership, etc. etc.
- Comment on Ford ends F-150 Lightning production, starts battery storage business 1 week ago:
I think we can all agree its >1% but also a small number. That small number is plenty for them to keep making them. But alas, most of those folks did not buy them.
- Comment on ARC Raiders purposefully puts jerks in the same lobby as each other 1 week ago:
I find it extremely hard to believe they could identify “jerks” programmatically with any accuracy.
Would be fairly easy, really. Which player opened fire first? Which player said “don’t shoot” just before shooting?
- Comment on ARC Raiders purposefully puts jerks in the same lobby as each other 1 week ago:
Same.

Who said it was going very far? He tows them back and forth from the Marina to other water bodies in the local area or to customers’ homes.
- Comment on Ford ends F-150 Lightning production, starts battery storage business 1 week ago:
Those giant crew cab monstrosities are the best-selling vehicles in America.
The problem is that F150 buyers are the very largest anti-EV meatheads. It’s the wrong market for such a vehicle.
- Comment on Ford ends F-150 Lightning production, starts battery storage business 1 week ago:
Quite the contrary, the Lightning makes an excellent work truck for those who actually need work trucks. I know a couple people who use them that way. One of them owns a boat dealership and uses it for towing large and heavy boats every day. The other owns a construction business.

I’ll gladly pay more to not have to deal with Epic’s endless fucking captchas.

Is that guy supposed to be Dylan?
- Comment on Control Resonant - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games 1 week ago:
I don’t think there’s any sense to be made of it, really. But somehow still really well written and produced.

Bruuuuuhhh I’m so stoked

They just reported them 9th most reliable a few days ago?

Is there supposed to be an article here or something? What country is this? What was he charged with?

Why she the gov and not Apple?

Ha, that’s an old comment. I did end up playing the game and yes, it runs very well.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 5 weeks ago:
A write-off is just a bookkeeping manouver that means
No. A write-off is nothing more than a company expense. It’s a deduction from their income.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 weeks ago:
Hard disagree. I think that’s exactly who they’re going after. That’s why they added all the console features like CEC, wake on BT, background updates, etc. etc. and why they gave it a controller-first interface.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 5 weeks ago:
How does community-run servers prevent them from writing off their losses?

Aaaand I’m out. Soooo many shitty new games.
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 2 months ago:
That seems like something that could be fixed pretty easily, as opposed to the AI stuff that’s fundamentally flawed.
The neural wristband they demonstrated was actually extremely impressive and I can see a lot of different practical usecases for such a device.

Something something building on rented land.
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 2 months ago:
Honestly I don’t get excited about any new tech outside of FOSS spaces. Tech used to be made to make your life better and now it’s almost exclusively used to exploit you.
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 2 months ago:
Don’t forget about “the Metaverse”. You know, the thing he spent tens of billions of dollars on, renamed the company after, then promptly abandoned to chase AI grifting.
