So underrated, Foss could burn down Visa and all it would take is Amazon or Google to champion it. % of every transaction would be saved.

Imagine if credit card fraud was actually not easy, and more importantly your spending habits were not trackable. So much targeted adverts would just die off.

Debian is already easy out of the box.

Chromium instead of Firefox? The gate is wide open, but if that's the first selling point, your mind is the prison.

Sure corruption, he's also incredibly stupid as i'd bet every conversation he'll ever have on that plane will be translated and broadcast realtime into 3 different languages. Its really funny to me just how stupid of a security concern that it would be. They'll know where he is, what he thinks, when he goes to the bathroom.

They could even put in a "drop out of the sky" button for themselves if they stop liking him. "Oh but its Boeing" as if a foreign nation cares about that in the least.

It'll bugged, tracked, sabotaged, and most of all, not safe to set a single foot on. If I was in the press pool, I'd quit following him when he gets it. There's reasons the air force handles everything start to finish.

The bigger trend is that enshitification of consoles have made steam a juggernaut.

$80 a game is a non starter for most people. Switch was a golden goose that revolutionized mobile handheld gaming. It was like a gameboy reboot. I doubt Switch 2 gets even close to half of the success

Hilariously unprofitable. They even came up with creative accounting to show how, despite never being profitable they may turn a profit if you don't count their debts and losses.

This is the one tech company I would have laughed at if they said American labor is too expensive.

Or it could stagnate and decrease. Unlimited growth in a finite world more often then not hits a ceiling.

Dead cat bounce is a real thing. At best its just increased volatility, which is not good.
