Wonder how long those will last. I’m used to hearing about speed cameras one year then another hearing that they’re not in operation anymore because of operation cost that includes frequent repairs due to vandalism

I have never met a person that thought boneless chicken could have bones in it. Asshole judges

They could probably get away with a PS6 that’s a PS5 Pro raster equivalent, improved ray tracing, and a modern AMD CPU and a bump in memory. Whatever can be sold for $500 in 2-3 years. Switch 2 is the baseline.

Microsoft can be twice as powerful, unless they had a multi year string of incredible exclusives, they’re not doing better than this gen and
regardless they don’t do exclusives anymore

I learned that. It was the whole chain to get to that point and how that organization even came to be and how they came to be and how it’s regulated that was a bit disgusting with how make shift it seemed to me. The whole stack all came off as a multi decade saga of stapling org on top of org until we came to the present of things mostly work but it’s a bit fragile with a mix of public and private regulators trying to hold things together and make old paper systems work with modern technology

It would but Trump right now is Erdogan-lite when it comes to control over all the different government departments and agencies and putting out bad data to try to make their policies not look so terrible in practice.

Why this will ultimately fail. There are many huge financial corporations in the world where a major part of their ability to be successful is having accurate data. More accurate data than their competitors so they employ their own data collection and analysis teams and don’t fully rely on governments and other corporations to be truthful

Then companies that want investment/loans go to these big finance/banking companies and these finance companies have their own data on companies that want a loan or they’ll require these potential debtors provide a look into their books and the bank will want accurate data.

If the potential debtors gives bad data, are all the retailers, shipping companies, packaging companies, etc all providing bad data. If the states labor department is underreporting unemployment, are the public benefits departments reporting bad data? How about independent non-profit food banks and other community organizations.

Every countries government in the world would want accurate data from countries and companies around the world too so they can develop policy with good data in mind with a mind for how global trade activity may be heading towards

Trying to lie about finance and labor statistics at the major corporation and national government level in the modern world is stupid

I’m guessing they haven’t fully siloed the Canadian supply chain from the US one, it may not be worth it yet to fully silo them off onto separate shipping, packaging, and support channels

I remember seeing a graphic that was about every layer of companies that are interacted with when you use a credit card. Must have been at least like 6 layers of companies each taking a fee from a company that took fees higher up the chain closer to the consumer. Similar when I read an explanation of, when you buy a stock through a company like Fidelity where is the stock actually held and that was layers of public/private companies/corporations

Microsoft is really bad at first impressions. Like that initial Halo Infinite preview and the early Avowed preview with the skeletons and weird/lacking shadows. Or being shocked that the public didn’t like Redfall and that it was comically buggy. Obsidian is perennially solid, but Microsoft is at least a brand anchor with how they can’t seem to ever have foresight for any PR issues with their decision making

Was the standard experience, a lot worse, for overseas peoples under imperial rule for some centuries

Regular cope is citing how history will judge anyone as if that’s a major threat for most of anyone. At best most people only care how they are judged by their social circle, not even their future equivalents
