Here’s something a lot of folks supporting the tariffs as some bass-ackwards way of returning manufacturing to the US don’t understand: in business, uncertainty is even worse than higher costs. Even if you end up paying a little more, it’s worth it if that payment gets you stability.
Trump’s instability in policy easily outweighs any benefits – and that’s assuming there were ever any benefits at all.
Now I’m definitely sticking with LaTeX. Thanks.
business part of it
This is the part I don’t want.
It is, perhaps, the only thing he touches that is made in the USA.
I bet Tim Apple is really happy about his large donation to the Trump inauguration.
Then again, if you’re that rich, maybe having some intelligence and foresight should be an expectation. If you don’t have those things, maybe you shouldn’t be rich.
That said, for a 25% tariff, it isn’t even close. Still far cheaper for Apple to manufacture outside of the US and pass that additional cost to the US consumer.
Ah, this must be the “meritocracy” I keep hearing about. For some reason I thought you had to be a member of the Trump family or a Fox News host to take part.
Can you point out specific examples?
Is it just me, or does that sound like a monopoly?
Do any creatives attempt to create assets for another platform?
I’m really not blaming creatives on this one. Obviously they need to make money. But this seems like a clear case of advantage being taken against one skillset by virtue of monopoly.
I’d say it seems like the key issue affecting creatives, if AI didn’t exist.
As an outsider: how did we get to a point where every creator is limited to one box?
This is what always blows my mind. All these states with leadership bitching about mooching off the federal government are exactly the states which mooch off of the federal government, because their states produce literally nothing.
Is it the case that most creatives cancel their subs when they get that job? Does the job have a site license (assuming Adobe even allows site licenses)?
It won’t stop until creatives stop paying.
There are alternative tools available, but the number of people I have seen not want to learn a new UI is high. Adobe knows this, so they continue to raise prices.
Should have just used AI, at least then people could debate whether or not it was plagiarism
Starfield would be fine if there was a way to get from place to place without constant reloads. This is a limitation of the (ancient) engine the game is on, as I understand it.
The thing is, we already have games like No Man’s Sky which do this very well. Starfield may have been better received if it came out 15 years ago, but against modern space games, it just sucks.
That’s ignoring anything else wrong with the game, of course, and there is plenty. But I could get over a lot if it didn’t feel like I was playing a menu instead of flying a spaceship at every change of scenery.
He’s obviously working for Big 586.
His left eye infuriates me whenever his right eye doesn’t
At least we know there will never be a shortage of cherry pickers in the US.
No 4k TV either. I don’t really see the point.
I really hope this is true. The only thing that will stop Rockstar from the delayed PC release nonsense in the future is actually stopping the double dip.
I ended up with a PS4 just for Red Dead 2. But I still haven’t bought it on PC and have no plans to do so.
The thing is, the PS4 kind of made sense because I also wanted a Blu-Ray player. I still have it for that, so a PS5 would be an impossible sell to me. It’s like Rockstar tries to sell consoles but this time around is one of the worst ever console eras.
I think CS:2 was far too ambitious, and there were very strange design choices around subsidies which effectively removed any challenge from the game – at first. I just played it the other day, and frankly it has turned around a lot. Decent game now.
KSP2 was just a corporate shit show – devs were well intentioned but ultimately were unable to continue based on factors out of their control. It really sucks because KSP1 is one of the best games ever made and KSP2 had a lot of promise.
Being able to see your actual performance versus your framegen performance is really quite cool.
