Every new law changes the rules of the game. Every new rule presents an opportunity to those who can circumvent it.

The wealthy have always succeded by gaming the system.

1. It’s hilarious that the “too lazy to empty the trash bin” behavior can scale like this. Worst case for me is I pick up a couple things that fall when I empty it. For them… well as you said it doesn’t appear emptiable!

2. I was skeptical this cat shelf design would hold, but I picked one up and for the last year it’s been my cat’s favorite thing. Highly recommend them. Just make sure the suction cups aren’t warped, you put them in hot water, clean the window, follow all instructions etc.

In the car manufacturers mind, these are all uncommon issues because you should be using cloud services for everything.

Nor would I, but if apps were actually optimized instead of the Electron nonsense we have now we’d be in a better place. I really hope this forces us to finally build better again instead of relying on infinite resources.

That’s still of no concern. If it all collapses and they need to start selling to consumers again, gamers will be desperate for the upgrade and pay top dollar. Screwing us over is a win-win for them.

Sure, but AMD never undercuts enough for it to matter. They’re always behind on features, brand recognition, software and say… eh $50 off.

The last time AMD actually undercut and sold well was the RX480 and that was a long time ago. AMD has just settled for 10% and is not willing to fight for more, and with enterprise being the big market now it’s definitely not going to change.

How much do we need to pay though? Most content creators I see have their patreon around $7 CDN/mo. Add even a couple and you’re now at the cost of a streaming subscription with much more content. I would have no problem paying content creators if the fees were more reasonable, but right now I only subscribe to a couple.

Should a creator’s patreon drop in price to $1 or $2 a month, or should the viewer pay a small fee per view? What new monetization system would make sense where the consumer doesn’t have an unaffordable pile of subscriptions, but the creators still get paid a fair rate for their effort?
