China has a far weaker social safety net than a lot of people assume.

That hasn’t been a thing since 2001.

No, I’m expecting a SteamOS PC.

Other EV’s have this problem too, so it isn’t just a Tesla problem.

I think the main issue is what happens when software support ends. There are tons of industrial and medical equipment with outdated software that work well today, mainly because there is an air gap between their computers and the Internet. That air gap may need to be enforced onto cars as default in the future.

The person is writing from a business prospective. If people are replacing their phones less often, it means that fewer phones are being purchased each year. If your company makes phones, that means adjusting to a shrinking market no matter what your company does.

And the industry has extended the generation cycle over time because the increased specifications aren’t generally worth it.

An iPad is a tablet.

The problem is that most people use tablets as a media consumption device, so the need to update is far less than a phone. Even then, the smartphone market has cratered as justification for flagship phones have dropped. As tablets have a lower demand than phones, that market has completely dried up.

In this case, private equity isn’t the only villain.

Print journalism has been decimated over the last generation as it has become the expectation that the articles should be free. The money that used to support journalism is mostly gone.

The writer is focusing only in their own experiences, but the industry as a whole can’t support many people who blog as is it is their job.

Amazon, like a lot of other tech companies, has also been cutting product lines as increased interest rates has put a cost to money and a push to profitability.

That said, there is likely some use to AI, even if it is error prone.

Yeah, I’ve seen it from a few different videos, including one citing a 2005 Citibank report pointing out that this would become a major trend.

Wealth inequality is bad enough that I’ve even seen some marketing professionals mention it as a possible problem for some companies.

Yeah, but you also put together an argument that addressed the key issue.

You’re right, it has gotten worse. Thanks for providing the appropriate evidence.

It seems like the commenter has been a thorn in your side.

I described a shift over time and your rebuttal was arguing over a single point in time.

And good for them to do it. Tourism causes a lot of negative externalities; this tax helps mitigate some of those externalities.

I feel more like we’re in a golden age where people can express their stupidity with a larger microphone they were ever given before.

And as much as people complain about the stupidity of people, the population is probably the most literate and productive in human history. We’re just seeing people use a new tool poorly when that use would not have been recorded previously.

Wikipedia has an imperfect process, but it is open to review and you can see how the sausage is made. It isn’t perfect, but the best we have.

Windows 10 reset a lot of UI from 8 to 7 that a lot of users wanted. Some changes were added, but the muscle memory learned since 95 could be used with little modification. Windows 11 broke a lot of those workflows without providing anything better on the higher end of usability.

I agree that 10 started adding things that people don’t like about 11, but 11 actively broke things that people liked about 10.

It is probably one of the largest criticisms of MORENA that the government has consistently given so much power to the military that should be civilian controlled.
