After Apple admitted they purposely slow their older tech to encourage people to buy newer versions, Im absolutely on this crazy train that there's definitely a command to make things slower.

It worked to bring balance to The Force.

The deal is kinda nice to resign.

6 months of pay or $30k to resign, whatever is higher.

I support open-source and understand Matt. But dude, what a fucking wrong way to approach this.

What the fuck?

Just because one side gets more rights, doesn't mean the other side loses rights.

I guess if the rights you miss is the ability to beat your wife without repercussions.

In my city, there's a Korean community and from my friend who is a teacher, those girls who left Korea hate Korean dudes and want to hook up with Americans.

I don't understand anything about Korean culture or k-pop.

But after reading about 4B, this is starting to make sense.

I think about this a lot. In the 2000s, there would be all these music services that hype themselves up. The Downloadable Music Wars. We all used Napster or whatever pirating tool and it was just easier than paying. In the end, they were all smoke and mirrors and the services died out, while Apple and their iPods won.

In the late 2010s was the PC gaming Wars, Steam was really getting some heat. Not just other e-commerce stores like Epic, but also game streaming services like onLive and PC Game Pass. Again, all these wack ass companies (wtf Origin) and most of them have either folded or are on life support and migrated to Steam.

We're currently in the Streaming Wars. Probably the second or third version of this war, since the first war killed Blockbuster. I honestly don't believe many of them will survive past 2030. For sure Netflix and Hulu. Maybe half of them die, and six more will crop up. Who knows.

But what I do know is that whenever these "wars" occur, you see a lot of the shittier companies get worse and worse. And if you never picked a side and did your own thing (ignore them or sail the open seas), you get to look back and laugh at these clowns.

Good.

I worked at a job where there would be 4 managers, all "managing" one or two developers to get a task done.

I'm optimistic. I'm making numbers out of my butt because I literally can't remember.

But I think My 20GB SSD from 2010 was about $100. I used to dualboot.

Today, I can get a 512GB SSD for $50.

Not if we follow this pattern

Is there some sort of training which teaches you how to be a grifter?

Because this 2024 class is full of people imitating Uncle Ruckuses.

That's incredible that they evolved.

A lot of American cities that were becoming software dev hubs in the 90s ended up crashing or worse, fintech.
