Get a tape player jeeez

It’s a way to display power, the ruling “elite” need to enforce their status. It started thousands years ago with the ruling class showing of their opulence.

These comments are completely missing the truth.

They have zero intention of rebuilding anything, this is just an excuse to destroy SSA …

JFC, is nothing safe?

I was just talking about dumping Fitbit as Google destroys it and jumping to Garmin…

Is it possible? Yes

Is it likely given Corpo take over of civilization? Also yes…

Same, not interested in some video. I had an Onkyo receiver that had bad caps. I ended up just buying a new one.

That is pocket change for Apple. They have so much money they literally don’t know what to do with it.

The Toy

Funny you mention that, at one point they were trying to build a highway next to it…

Actually steam games work well. It’s non steam games and ones with kernel level anti cheat.

That is the one I finally got to work.

2 days ago, and about 4 different distros to get one that would even load on my laptop with discreet video cards…

Yeah about time for me to switch to something else :/

I actually use it a bunch for setting reminders and it does pretty good at that.

Yes

Anti- fascist tech.

They’re really not though, maga fascists, actually believe this is a mere speed bump on the way to the promised land…

Pixel Slate by Google

I got it on a black Friday Sale and immediately regretted it.

For something that is supposed to “just work” nothing just works.

It’s spent the last several years as a very expensive media player. Which it isn’t even particularly good at…

One big issue, is even if they have a “plan” it goes out the window if the show is too successful(or unsuccessful). A 5 season arc now needs to last 6 or 7…

I know Buffy for example had been planned for 8-9 seasons. And then producers were like nope the 7th is it. So they had to try and wrap everything up in one season.

Would you pay $1000 for one? Economy of scales matters…

Plus everyone who did look at them would say it is smaller it should cost less! Even though a smaller phone would be more technically challenging to build. Next you have compromises. No matter what you take out to make it work. People would bitch, I need that! I don’t need this other thing! Next battery life, people complain about current battery life, you think they want less?

I could go on, but I can easily see why manufacturers don’t want to deal…
