From a non US Perspective (most of the world) this is a non issue.
Because for the rest of the world the answer to this dilemma boils down to:
Do you want to be shook down by the big guy in the left corner with the can of coke in his hand or do you prefer to be fucked over by that big Asian guy in the right corner who’s slurping on his bubble tea?
I choose the one who demands the least.
“small.”
Make no mistake. Gamers Nexus is a multi million dollar company.
Sure, Bloomberg is much, much bigger. But while gamers Nexus is the underdog, it’s not the toothless underdog. That little fucker will bite in bloomberg’s ankles before it dies and tbf: it looks like it’s already yapping and took it’s first bite.
The issue with Musk is the very clear meddling in EU politics first, second his insane behavior and third, his Nazi salute.
If he kept in his lane and just kept his MAGA insanity stateside the Fallout would be a lot less worse.
But the moment he entered the EU political scene he murdered his brandS in the EU.
they will never recover. The damage was done at the worst time possible, when kia, Hyundai andthe entire German automobile industry went all out with EVs and China (byd) entered the EU EV market.
Tesla is done.
SELL. don’t HODL.
If your phone is powered your location can be tracked. Secured or not: your location can always be tracked.
The rest is doubtful, always assume law enforcement has access at will.
Just don’t bring it.
You mean continue as it has been for the last few hundreds of years, got it.
Really, looking at world history I can’t really find a time of which I think: oh, it would’ve been nice to be Russian back then!
Being Russia(n) is just one giant cluster fuck and has been for a very long time. Or maybe not one giant, but several very big ones with small breaks of a few years in between.
So I’m happy I live in NL.
Not that guy but another: No. You? Because Microsoft is a lot of things but walled gardens is something out of Cupertino. Not Redmond.
You can call MS shitty and I would fully concur but a walled gardens it’s not.
You don’t need ad, Exchange/outlook, m365, entraid. They’re nice for most users but you can live without and use other services in their place on any MS platform.
Now, iOS… Have fun with that.
That’s. Uh… the entire idea of a kickstarter.
It may crash and burn. Don’t want that, don’t back anything on kickstarter.
I should look hard and long at Intel Arc if i was you. Those are nice and a clear move up the ladder from where you are at. And they are reasonably priced.
I was in the same boat. Then I decided that the 50x0 was a paper launch and the leaks told me that the 9070XT would lower or have the same performance as the 7900xtx.
Then the 7900xtx dropped in price, clearing the channel for the new gen.
Then I bought that.
Ever since I’ve been wondering… Why didn’t I buy this thing earlier?
It’s more then fast enough. The RT performance is above the 3080.
Every 9070XT I can buy now is almost 200 euro more then what i payed for the 7900xtx.
What I learned? Buy previous gen in it’s “dying” weeks.
He is just saying:
It is YOUR choice to drink too much. To smoke too much, to get high on heroin, to do coke. To eat fatty sugary foods. It is your body, your temple. Not that of the government.
He is not talking about a law framework, he is talking about a moral framework. What right do YOU have to tell me what I can and cannot do when my actions can only hurt myself?
To take this one step further: All narcocrimes come from one simple fact: BECAUSE it’s illegal, the possible profits are so vast that any risk becomes acceptable to the Narcos.
Make it legal. Regulate it. Like we did with smokes and alcohol. Slap a 16/18+ sticker on it, add some tax.
We learned this during the prohibition, the gangster era. But for some reason or another we still use that proven False logic when it comes to narcotics.
Make something which people want illegal and there will be uncontrollable crime. That crime will harden. This (the current path of the us government) is not a solution, it is an escalation. There will be a response.
