A lot of people don’t want to share walls.

“Hey uh, I have 3 loud kids and a wife who is loud during sex. Wanna be my neighbor?”

…and that is okay. He is still doing an incredible job and is an incredible public figure.

Nobody is perfect, nor do they have to be.

Outside of DIY, end users don’t care. See: Apple.

Also, if you have a laptop with LPDDR5, it is soldered. If it has DDR5 or some variant of DDR4, it is likely also soldered as most OEMs did away with DIMM slots.

I don’t like or agree with the practice.

Both Come and Pepsi doubled - tripled their prices in the time between 2020 and 2023.

In 2019 (in my area) you could get a 2 liter of soda for $0.79-$1.00. Non-sale price was $1.49. A 12 pack of cans was $2-$2.50 on sale with a none-sale price of $4.

2 liters now are “on sale” for $2-$3 each and non-sale price is $3-$3.50.

Cans sale price is $4 at minimum and non-sale price is $7.99–8.99 depending on the store.

I have significantly cut back on my diet soda intake as a result, so i guess there is that?

To put another way, in the best of times in 2019 I could buy a 5x12 pack of cans for $10. Today I would have to pay $20-$45 for the exact same product depending on if it was on sale or not.

When our economy finally falters, these companies will be the first to scream for bailouts and other nonsense.

Like dude, just go back to pre-pandemic pricing.

Pro tip: any company that requires you to prove that you are “sick” in order to get a day off is a shitty company. Find another job.

That was one of the reasons they killed the api: to support ad growth. Unfortunately they failed to realize the combination of ad-blocking browsers and users just quitting the site from losing client access means they were never going to hit pre-IPO revenue targets.

Had they instead focused on affordable API pricing and driving subscriber revenues up, they would have exceeded revenue targets.

source: I was in a somewhat similar position (not quite the same, no third party client), but chose different and found myself making more subscription revenue than ad revenue thanks to a viewer base more than happy to pay more.

Why are you downloading chrome? You are supposed to download Firefox.

As an autistic person with ADHD I am going to leave this one alone. 😬

Good luck. I switched to Firefox months ago and couldn’t be happier.

Bitwarden because it is open source.

Damn, Mr. Musk could have made more money betting on stocks mentioned in r/wallstreetbets, and they ALWAYS lose money. Dude seriously needs to have twitter do the opposite of what he thinks.

I have never seen a billionaire try to go from billions to zero so hard in my life. It is like he is showing the U.S. government why billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Is there a fund that lets me do long term shorts on rich people?

They actually likely did this due to SEO. Google was allegedly in the process of removing tweets from the search index because they weren’t accessible. This happens automatically for most sites.
