Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders.

"not making profits"
Just massive salaries and equity

do you guys have this movie?
I can still recall binge watching a show on Netflix only to find out mid-way they only had about half of the total seasons. So I paid for a service only to have to finish the show by torrenting it. Idiotic.

Firmware.
Reply in thread
It's all one big layers system.
For sake of example let's take a GPU.
You have the hardware itself, which is rather static and non-changeable after it was manufactured.
Then the firmware is the software that runs inside the card itself in some dedicated chip with interface to control that hardware. It is programmable and replaceable.
Then the driver is the software that runs on the OS, and acts as an interface for other softwares that run on the same OS to talk to if they want to use the GPU. The driver would use the interface that the firmware exposes. Since each OS has a different way of writing hardware interfaces drivers are written for a specific OS.
Then you have software like DirectX or OpenGL that provide yet another standardized interface, only this time between different manufacturers like NVidia, AMD, Intel, etc to talk to supported GPU drivers.
Then you would have the software itself, like a game engine, video player, whatever.

Looks rather simple, the gun itself doesn't change shape, only the cover. Looks like there's a small periscope for aiming.

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

This.
Their strength comes from having zero management and all projects are born and lead by the devs themselves. As close to communism as you could get in a capitalistic world. It does come with some problems but they're totally manageable - like having a strictly homogeneous workforce (which, one could argue, isn't a bad thing)

I read the article, what's in it that's not all there in the title? The only thing I can think of is that they "claim" it's only going to be used for specific things. But we all know how that goes...

It's open source so that anyone can manufacture a phone for it (good for business), not so you could install whatever you want on the hardware (bad for business)...
