Steam Deck killers be like

Imho, the Steam Deck will be the only one with a really long product lifetime. Simply because Valve's main business is selling games, not consoles. The Deck makes people buy more/different games. Worked on me. I haven't played much in the last decade because I was too tired to play at my PC after work. Now I can play everywhere. Couch, bed, car, .. Basically every other manufacturer makes money exactly once by selling such a console. As soon as their marketing is done with it, they'll release a new revision and you won't see a single software update for the old model ever again.

Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately

Once you slightly climb the career ladder, vocabulary turns into marketing bs. Suddenly you most not say "problem" anymore. They're "opportunities" or "challenges". So at that level you don't get "fired" because that would sound bad for the next company you're going with. You're looking for new challenges elsewhere. Leaving behind a dumpster fire like in this very case.

[DE] Rund 500.000 Fahrräder werden jedes Jahr gestohlen. Die Aufklärungsquote mickrig. Dabei ist das Fahrrad für viele das Hauptverkehrsmittel für Familie, Alltag und Beruf.

Wenn Interesse da wäre könnte man wenigstens verhindern, dass innerhalb der EU geklaute Fahrräder ohne größere Hürden verkauft werden können. Internationale Datenbank mit als gestohlen gemeldeten Rahmennummern, Kontrollen auf Gebrauchradmärkten und vielleicht auch hier und da mal ein oaar Stichproben im Verkehr oder bei geparkten Rädern. Frei verfügbare App mit der man den Status von Rahmennummern selbst prüfen kann. Wenn die Räder einmal im Ausland angekommen sind wird's natürlich schwer.

Das ist wohl alles Wunschdenken. Aber etwas mehr als "ich schreibs auch ein Stück Papier und werfe es in ein paar Tagen weg" wäre schön wünschenswert.

Usually they don't allow competition, this one is a bit special because it involves two billionaires and it's basically a show-off. The regular case is: they buy any potential competitor in an early stage and let it die. The 5% of the start-up CEOs that don't just take the few hundred millions will face a nasty attack where they steal employees or do some negative marketing or whatever sabotage fits.
