They’ve been killing good products for well over a decade

I have always found Pepsi sweeter than Coke

How much are they asking?

It’s always better with sound

I saw the original clip; the kid saying “six seven!” and doing a bobbling hand gesture looked and sounded pretty ridiculous and I can absolutely see how it would get turned into a meme, especially if you repeat it enough on TikTok-style short videos

They realized how much revenue they were leaving on the table

That’s why she called him an idiot

Oh wow, I thought I read it was university studies (which I’d still say is more important priority-wise), but that’s really young!

I’m going to guess, based on the only other comment on this post from @[email protected], that the “beloved” qualifier might be overselling the level of appreciation for Unity. Either it’s not actually that beloved by Ubuntu users or there is only a relatively small number of people for whom Unity truly is beloved. In any case I’m guessing it hasn’t had enough users to justify funding from Canonical.

In fact, just looking up Canonical on Wikipedia to verify the company name and see if they were for-profit I found this:

Canonical achieved a small operating profit of $281,000 in 2009, but until 2017 struggled to maintain financial solvency and took a major financial hit from the development of Unity and Ubuntu Touch, leading to an operating loss of $21.6 million for the fiscal year 2013. The company reported an operating profit of $2 million in 2017 after shutting down the Unity development team and laying off nearly 200 employees.

It may be surprising to learn that very basic, low-level support for M3 has existed for quite some time now. m1n1 is capable of initialising the CPU cores, turning on some critical peripheral devices, and booting the Asahi kernel. However, the level of support right now begins and ends with being able to boot to a blinking cursor. Naturally, this level of support is not at all useful for anything but low-level reverse engineering, but we of course plan on rectifying this in due time…

I understand it’s not just impacting US developers, as the price of these development kits is also going up across Europe and elsewhere. That’s likely because those “macroeconomic” conditions extend beyond just US tariffs, with currency fluctuations, production costs, and other elements impacting pricing.

I’m thinking they don’t sell that many dev kits so maybe the price is going up for Europe also simply because all of the kits ship from China to Redmond and get distributed to the rest of the world from there. Like, I kind of doubt they even build and sell enough in a year to fill a single shipping container.

My experience was only playing at friends’ houses who had Play Stations, but I never felt like one was better than the other. I appreciated the mechanic of upgrading items helped to give a different element to the game instead of it being the same thing Nintendo was doing but with different characters. What we really played a lot with friends, though, was Battle Mode on Mario Kart. I don’t think CTR had that, or else no one thought it was as good. It really hasn’t been as good in Mario Kart either since the Wii version I’d say.

My understanding is they don’t degrade like low-earth orbit but still require station keeping to maintain their precise location, so as they run out of fuel they get moved to a “graveyard” orbit that’s out of the way. At much larger time scales I think the orbits can still get unstable but I don’t think earth’s atmosphere contributes much to that.

The Commodore name and trademarks were recently acquired by the YouTube channel Retro Recipes, which has now revived the company under the Commodore International Corporation name. The new team includes original Commodore members such as Albert Charpentier, Dave Haynie, and Bil Herd.

I remember a Scottish lady telling us in the ’90s about how they had vans that would drive around to find illegal TVs and the whole thing was just mind-boggling to me!

I really don’t know enough about Perplexity AI to have an opinion one way or another, which is why I’m upvoting for awareness. I can’t say whether it’s a good or bad thing, although I’m not optimistic given the general trend of shoehorning “AI” in whether it makes sense or not, but I’m sure there are actually useful applications for the product and a better search engine could be one. I want actual search results, though, not a generated slop answer.

I’m not upvoting out of support for this move but to spread awareness
