Even during the halcyon days of CD sales in the late 90’s, there was a decent amount of filler on a lot of albums. It didn’t help that albums were the product while singles were what were advertised.

It doesn’t. I’m commenting more on supporters like you’ve read online saying the current government is great.

A lot of communists here are like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Their existing living condition is shit and they think that going to a different place will magically fix all their problems because everything just has to be better there.

Microsoft didn’t really bet on the HD-DVD. It was a separate add on supplied at cost because that was the best deal they got from either consortium.

In contrast, Sony was absolutely shipping the PS3 as a loss leader to get drives out there, similar to how Sony used the PS2 to make DVD’s standard.

Colombia and Brazil both declared Maduro’s election as illegitimate. They have also been in opposition of the capture of Maduro by the USA.

The Venezuelan government could likely consider this to be an act of war based on international law. The question right now is if it wants to.

Technically, Trump performed this attack without declaring war and his war powers without a Congressional declaration. Per American law, the USA isn’t at war with Venezuela. If Venezuela declares that this is an act of war, it gives Trump a better pretense to get war declared on Venezuela. It also vastly changes how neutral powers can treat both countries during the war.

Countries have fought wars without declaring wars before. The military action surrounding the invasion of the Falklands was done without either nation officially declaring war.

He pretty much is.

The Pope has some soft power when it comes to some morality, but countries routinely ignore the Vatican and it doesn’t really cause an issue.

The relationship is worse with a lot of American Catholics, who haven’t been happy with the last few popes due to their liberalness.

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 There are tons of industrial and medical equipment with outdated software that work well today, mainly because there is an air gap between their computers and the Internet.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.
