Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car

Reply in thread

You're right, that's not just technically untrue. The board voted with their wallet, by giving him even more money than ever, so he could continue doing what he is doing. The people on the board wouldn't give a shit if only Nazis buy their cars, as long as there's enough of them to keep buying.

Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes

Right... They closed it as a "cost-cutting measure" and "not because the studio unionized". This is where the lawmakers are just letting everyone know that they are garbage to be walked all over. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that "cost-cutting" a studio that just unionized is because they unionized, because a union means they have to start paying their workers their fair share, which means "higher costs" to them, when it should've been like that from the start.

Ukraine Is Jamming Russia’s ‘Superweapon’ With a Song

“They think we make the attack on each receiver and as soon as one receiver attacks, they try to swap in another receiver and get a signal from another satellite. But when the missile enters the range of our system, we cover all types of receivers,” they said. “It’s physically impossible to connect with another satellite, but they think that it’s possible. That’s why they started with four receivers and right now it’s 16. I guess in the future we’ll see 24, but it’s pretty useless.”

They're just wasting so much resources and don't even know what they're doing. "Just keep putting more receivers, they can't jam them all... can they?"

Riverside Sheriff walks into a house without a warrant, steps in, and says "Now that I'm inside your house, I own your house right now."

"They opened the door and ran from me" (pointing at the minor). So just opening the door is enough for them to force their foot in and suddenly, "I'm allowed in because you opened the door and my foot is inside already". Then they wonder why no one would want to open the door to them 🤦. Gotta teach the kids to talk through the door, I guess.

The games industry is undergoing a 'generational change,' says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney: 'A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling'

I'm gonna take a wild guess that the games with high budgets that aren't "selling", are just not selling "enough" to cover the "costs" of the executives. I guess it wasn't much of a guess:

and they're not selling nearly as well as expected," Sweeney said. "Whereas other games are going incredibly strong

Do they think that these other games "going incredibly strong" are making the money they hope to make? They're probably making much less but managing it much better. The savings are almost infinite when you don't approve every executive bonus pay package.

Then Alphabet will come up with a new bullshit idea, "remove the limits for 'trusted' advertisers" so that they can inject more code than allowed as long as they keep paying for their ad "partnership"
