The CEO decided that clients were smart intelligent people and treated people as adults. Aka, no discounts, no 99 pricing, it just costs what it costs, as low as we can make it, plus our margin.

JC Penny was already not too well, this helped sink them

JC Penny kinda showed that no. It isn’t pseudocience

1 billion of the old Zimbabwean currency (about 12$)

Don’t mistake them with Hosea

Insert generic joke about politicians

Chances are yes. Simply because to build the machines, such an astronomical amount of money and energy is needed to build them, that even if electricity during dead times cost a bunch more (which for businesses probably does), it probably is still worth it, just to bring it to maximum capacity

“Thanks Steve”

Wonder if this is just the website not being able to cut the number in half, or whether they did this on purpose

Say what you will about business school CEOs, they at least know when to stay shut up… hopefully this engineer CEO is able to keep Intel engineering centric and to actually sort their crap out…

“Bobby Tables we like to call him”

Wait, slavery is legal now for the gays!! Stonks (am straight, know gay people to “enslave”)

They spent 16 billion dollars in R&D in 2023, which is a bit lower than the 17 billion in 2022, but still way higher than the 13 billion from 2019. In 2023 they distributed as dividends (might be wrong on the calculation here, but I think that this is the right number, 1 billion dollars)

Windows, M’Fedora, PopOS and NixOS rn

Piped has been having problems with it lately. Pretty sure it’s YouTube cracking down on FOSS alternative APIs

Some of these are fairly funny, like A-like that iPhones would somehow be allowed in China if they had an explosive inside, B- that someone wouldn’t have found an exploit and exploded them all by now

Without time zones it would be worse. Every little town would have their own time, calculated from their position

That would be illegal, and you should absolutely not do that. Just like you shouldn’t clone the invidious repos just in case (/s)

But you know what happened after Reddit turned to crap? Because no one actually has to use Reddit, because Reddit is just a bunch of bored nerds and Reddit is just a bunch of forums, eventually someone realised: “wait a minute, I can code this in a few weeks and make it way less crappy than most social media. And maybe if I make it all open, a whole ecosystem of social networks can grow together”. And when Reddit turned to crap, “the invisible hand” acted and people slowly started to migrate over to lemmy and other social media and now reddit is just a bunch of bots

I left Reddit because of short term decisions to squeeze money out of consumers to look good in an IPO, instead of having an actual long term thought.
