Because they something to lock you in to Ubuntu. They want Ubuntu to be the only thing that uses snaps. They want to get snaps to be an Ubuntu exclusive feature, and once they can start convincing some random closed source devs to ship in only the snap format they have a hook to keep you on Ubuntu. And they want those random random closed source devs to be focused on more of the corporate world so they can sell some support licenses.

Download the netinst image. You get the option of installing a de or none entirely.

Time. There was one time when a 65” 1080p tv would set you back $10k. Now those are Black Friday giveaways for test driving a car. By manufacturing the first units Apple can get the manufacturing time to mature on the exact specs they want which will lower costs.

Just look at the iPhone SE, it is so cheap because all of the hard work was done years ago and it’s just swapping out a chip every few years.

Sorry, you need to blame apple for this /s

Everyone says they wanted a new nexus 7, we’re on our way there!

The had a good 8 or 9 minutes there, but the have looked more like an 8 seed than not this series

Maybe Eichel?

I would guess Discord as well

I’m a Blackhawks fan… unfortunately everyone knows our owner.

It's 1a for me as the worst decision in modern history, 1b is legalizing direct to consumer medicine marketing.

First time in kraken history

Gonna need a guest appearance by Wart to make it truly “2”

I thought I heard a whistle on the broadcast but must not have.

Sbnation’s live comments used to be good for game days until it became too corporate

Without flairs this could go a couple of different ways

Hating on Rocky is going to be popular and he has earned a lot of it. He also did a lot to turn around a team that nobody in Chicago cared about and made them relevant again. Like most people in life, he is a complicated individual.

6 lines on various Red Pocket annual plans for a couple of years. No complaints but I’m highly technical so I can diagnose things myself. I also am all iOS which seems to be better supported. Only complaint is that you have to open a support ticket to enable the free visual voice mail for iOS devices; it is $1 a month for other devices.

The math just doesn’t work with fully unbundling. I’m not defending bundling at all, but the alternative doesn’t add up. Let’s say Hulu Live has 5 million customers paying $2.75 in carriage fees for TNT (numbers from a quick web search and approximated). That means Hulu pays $13.75 million to TNT, and TNT gets that whether or not a subscriber watches TNT or not.

If TNT went unbundled and their own way ala Disney+, and only took 10% of subscribers, you’d be paying $27.50 to keep TNT going at their current carriage fees. And that’s assuming they could continue to charge the same pricing to advertisers. If their subscribers go from 5 million to 500,000, no advertiser is going to pay the rate that TNT charges now, so there is more money to make up.

Unfortunately, especially with live sports, bundling channels together is the only way it’s going to make financial sense to run a network like TNT. And that’s just factoring in Hulu, if all the other streamers and cable companies went that way it’d just be worse.

Probably the last one too. I can’t see them taking Crosby or Lewis.

He is going to make some cash very soon.
