It has been kind of sad seeing his decline. Look at his writings from 2010-2015 to where he ended up on Youtube and the decline was steady with it finally hit rock bottom in the last year or so.
He craved attention in any form that he could get it.
Now how on earth could that create any kind of performance anxiety?
To quote Adam ruins everything from 10 years back! THE HYMEN DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY!
Okay, so changes to the oval office are prohibited, but blowing up the east wing for a glorified dance warehouse isn’t? Cool 🤔
Don’t put the cheesecake factory down like that. It is a much classier establishment. Cheesecake factory wasn’t in the Epstein files.
No them cuddling up to Trump was an extinction level event, it just took a decade for the blow back to become loud enough.
Key reason is here and exactly as you suspect. Funding models are changing as we continue the race to the bottom.
The business realities of independent digital journalism have changed profoundly over the years. After careful consideration, we have reached the difficult decision that our publishing model is no longer sustainable.
To be fair to the 1980’s, a Hercules video card in 1982 adjusted for inflation would only be about $1700. We are way beyond that point.
An original Macintosh 128K would set you back $8100 in today’s money, so I guess in that regard Apple hasn’t changed. ;)
I read this meme, FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!
At least the Macbook Neo comes with a lot more flashy stuff.
It is starting to feel like it. Might not see price decline for a while yet, but the upswing on pricing is nearing breaking point.
I suspect if anyone is buying these is because of them needing to meet an existing strict spec. Not sure what that would be but it is a possibility.
I hadn’t been keeping a close eye on pricing but was blown away the other day. The Nvidia RTX 5090 launched at $4090 here in Australia, that was already obscene. Nowadays almost 2 years later, you are lucky if you find one under $12,000!
For a while there, second hand mini desktops like the Lenovo/Optiplex’s could be picked up for about half the price of a new Pi5. Typically had equal RAM, loads of SSD storage and desktop class(ish) CPU perfomance, plus all the other benefits (Secureboot, x86 compatibility so you could run Windows if you wished). Only major thing missing was the GPIO connection.
But looking now the prices are increasing rapidly as they have been discovered. The cheap ones are typically striped of RAM and storage.
I was starting to think ole Donny T was going to get away with it via the grave while everyone below him that propped up his nonsense got the brunt of it. Maybe I should have been a little more optimistic for once.
He has been especially down trodden and looking a little scared the last few days.
Congratulations to Mr Brand and his future position in the Trump administration.
Oh no, him trying to find his favorite Bible verse with Piers Morgan was a kind of fresh hell I didn’t know existed.
But then the innocent knife will get Gonorrhea.
That was such a cautious click but I am so glad I did.
It was always heading this way, I am surprised it lasted as long as it did.
I knew it was a flop well before it even came out for one key reason. Remember when the iMac/iPod/iPhone came out, it seemed like everyone else started trying to desperately copy Apple on those. Other businesses saw these and immediately thought “Oh crap we need to catch up now!”. Before iPhone even released Nokia was demoing a phone (that never came out) in which they rushed multi-touch onto Symbian OS just to not look behind.
Cybertruck came out and nobody else even remotely hinted at copying it. Every car company was like ‘Yep, you guys can just go for it, we won’t stop you.’.
