I blame Broadcom. They behave like an aged care home for software, who actively engages in financial abuse.

They have to expand capacity, Chinese company CXMT is scaling fast; Micron and SK need to protect their market share even if they risk trading at a loss in 2028.

I think what was meant is that Amiga’s market share was predominantly in the home computer space. And its software catalog consisted primarily of video games rather than productivity software. In that sense it was low end. It was wedged bet

The population of the Faroe Islands is just 56,210, how can they possibly afford this massive network of tunnels. The website suggests the tunnel will cost 260m euros, how can that possibly be true?

Give it a few years, I’m under no illusion that when faced with competition Qantas will ditch the wellness zones and extra legroom. London-Sydney is only a bit further than London-Perth.

Does anyone here think Cursor is overvalued? It's just packaging up what already exists, it has no moat or IP.

There are competitors to Starlink arriving now. For example, the Australian government has selected Project Kepler (now called Amazon Leo) to provide broadband services to the Australian Outback. https://www.nbnco.com.au/cor

I think you are missing the point. It’s about software preservation and abiding by the implied expectations at the time of sale.

This has been happening with Video Games for a while. There is a major initiative called "Stop Killing Games" which was triggered when Ubisoft bricked "The Crew" when servers were shutdown. https://www.stopkil

The US “loses” $1T every ~150 days on delivering basic government services, and every US citizen is on the hook for that, not just investors.

Security issues aside, they are a nightmare in enterprise environments where internet and OS access is heavily restricted.

They should probably go back to the original invite only flow they used when Gmail launched. Every account having the ability to invite an only small finite number of new accounts is one way to thwart scammers.

I remember the form designer was a standout feature. Microsoft added a complete UI framework into VB for DOS based on the standard ASCII character set. VB for DOS really needed a version 2.0, but it never got it.

I have a lot of fond memories of Visual Basic for MS-DOS 1.0. I remember saving up for it at high school with my student discount. From memory it was about $120.

Oh right. Almost everyone in the world has free and easy access to actual doctors. For that one country that doesn’t maybe universal healthcare can be an Anthropic model.

I agree. I think the issue with LLM’s are not with the correct diagnoses’s but rather the incorrect ones. Real doctors tend to have a degree of cautiousness. I would rather a real doctor be hesitate and seek more information, than an alarmi

160 flights isn’t really that many, I suspect they are all on commercially marginal routes to begin with. In my region, quite a few airlines have cut routes citing the fuel crisis. Including Qantas, Virgin Australia, and Air New Zealand. Bu

We had a mass murder in Australia a few years ago involving death cap mushrooms. 3 of the 4 victims died, and the 4th required a liver transplant. Surprisingly the doctors involved quickly identified mushrooms as the culprit, despite that t

If a website/app requests you to prove your age, you can’t optionally avoid it and continue to use the website/app.

The issue is that if you don’t prove your age, access is blocked. So it’s not optional. At least in Australia.

I would rather prove my age to Apple than [insert random website]. I think that’s what Apple is banking on. They sell privacy as a feature of their products, and I’m grateful for that.
