An orphan, is by definition, alive. No one talks about “dead orphans”. Bruce Wayne isn’t a “live orphan”.

Anyway, my comment was about the privilege Western gamers have in 2026.

“NOAAWW! You can’t take away my high-end video cards! I have the RIGHT to play video games at a reasonable price!”

Imagine explaining your vast suffering under these filthy capitalists from your watertight, HVAC controlled domicile. Said suffering is way overblown on lemmy.

NAILED. IT. I’d love all the people who feel they have a right to video cards explain that to a Palestinian orphan.

Which is fine if you don’t need Excel. Business, however, does.

Landed on Weawow a couple of years ago and I never anticipate changing. I only wish it had local tides, but that’s a big ask for a free app that has so much more.

Say you have the tooling to make X number of processors to split between Product A and Product B. Yeah, A got you started, but now it’s 10% (or less!) of your total profit. It’s a no-brainer to put that manufacturing soley into B.

Combine that with the fact that PC builders are an ever shrinking market. Hell, even having a PC is becoming rare. I’ve never bought a factory PC in my life, but I’m on a NUC I got from my last company and may just ride with those for the foreseeable future. Nothing to do with RAM prices! I simply don’t have a need for a monster, power sucking unit when a 4" x 2" box does it all.

Boomers are 75-yo, not 55. If you want to hate on GenX in tech, I’ll remind you that we invented this shit. Along with elder Millennials, we were the only generation in history to straddle the digital divide. No one before or since can have that perspective on tech.

Been saying, almost every gripe about capitalism is really about monopolies. Then comes the inevitable argument that capitalism’s end game is monopoly. No, it’s not. Adam Smith himself wrote that monopolies are destructive to any economic system. And no economic system will function for long with all but zero government oversight.

Back then, Dell would still be putting out BIOS and driver updates for machines that were over a decade old. HP’s update site simply displayed at middle finger.

States shouldn’t even have to touch this. The national Congress needs to take this over and stomp it out. It’s a bipartisan issue every voter would get behind.

| The company’s board is reportedly meeting to determine if it will oust Huang…

I have no idea how that’s going to play. If they think stocks are down now, fire the CEO. Bet they keep him until or unless there’s legal pressure, and there won’t be from this FBI.

| 2. Only tech related news or articles.

Close enough for me. At least it’s new and not post 3,423 about the original story.

That sounds awfully close to kidnapping. Throwing a person out of a private event is one thing, holding them against their will is quite another.

What law(s) did he break? Maybe the SEC could eventually uncover some fuckery, but I’m not aware of anything yet.

She’s quite homely. 🙄

(Guys, if you’ve never made love to an Asian woman with those eyes… hrrnnnggg.)

You do you, but I’d risk it all.

DC buildouts are local and state issues. Why does anyone think the federal Congress will do anything? They been making noise about this?

Some of them are progressive, the ones we’ve all heard about like Talerico and Al Sayad. The entrenched DC political machine has a way of forcing conformity for both Dems and the GOP.

Stepped down 01/09. Had no idea!

That’s because your mental image of a CEO is these big dogs. You will never read a story about a CEO doing a great job, only dumb fucks like Musk make the news.

I only buy appliances off FB Marketplace and I’m dreading a potential future where everything on the used market is smart and requires a connection.
