Thing is that corporations do employ a lot of people, and it is not two weeks, it is prepping for the worst case scenario. Unlike people, companies can disappear from not bringing in cash. We can help each other, hopefully someone doesn’t die from losing a job, but the companies do.

I hope we get a shake up of the dealership model.  Enough with the stupid bait and switch tactics, the lack of transparency in pricing and financing and incentives, enough of the selling of these garbage add ons and so on.  Buying cars is a dreadful experience for most people.

Dealers should be allowed to fail. They have been propped up by protectionist laws and so lets see them operate in a true market driven economy. I don’t feel sorry for a business that takes advantage of people and marks up cars because they got lucky enough to get one. Coming from someone who was in the business and…

1) Cerny talks to people as if they are dumbass kids. It is annoying.

Chevy: here is an incredible sports car for $60K.

You might have a good example there... except what if I told you the cars components were made by the same companies?  Same company makes the GPU and CPU, so its gonna be pretty easy to tell the Xbox is gonna be faster.

I work for a supplier for these things, honestly, the PS5 has the edge on the storage, no doubt, but in raw horsepower, which is what gets used first in new consoles, the Xbox wins hands down.  They put so much empahsis on the cooling, and the CPU/GPU will run at full speed on the time means devs can count on the…

While you are right that the longer warranty is part of marketing to get away from a bad reputation... as someone else pointed out, if the quality wasn’t there, then they stand to lose a lot of money on these claims. Warranty lengths are determined by manufacturers for when they won’t have to pay for it.  A longer…

This freaking virus is a pyramid schemer’s dream.

20%? Damn what are you picking to have the money in?

But then you could make a case that if I get a new graphics card to run a game I want to play, does the graphics card maker owe the dev some money because the graphics card maker benefited from the release of said game?

I can see where the devs are coming from... but its like they get all indignant about it when they fail to see how that means a gamer can still buy your crazy ass to run game and play it on GeForce Now where as in the past, people might not buy a game because they were worried they couldn’t run it.  It opens up way…

The issue I imagine comes from the fact that Nvidia is then running the game.  Technically, you bought a license to run the game yourself, not to have someone else run the game then send the video to you.  Nvidia argues it is using the purchaser’s license... but... you can’t do that really.

Don’t care if I agree with his politics, seriously, this guy sucks.  Don’t like his personality and his self aggrandizing nature.  I recognize terrible people and he is one of them.

it is like anything you buy.  You pay cash for stock, then someone had to sell that stock so there is another person on the end of the transaction getting your cash and they use it for something else.

Edit: yes, but you can see how you are paying more than twice as much for the item.

I like the new one.  My thought is, that will look pretty sweet on a black car.

I can’t understand why anyone would lease a big purchase like appliances or furniture. Not with how terrible the terms and financial math is for the customer. Most of these big box stores have 0% interest promos. You don’t need to qualify for the promotion, just the credit card which is not hard to do, make your…

The issue is that you can’t sell the code you modify because you are selling the code of the manufacturer as well.  It would have to be more like a piece of code that goes on top of the existing code. For the manufacturer, they also cannot condone the use of code that they have not tested.  Who is responsible if…

Even Apple gave up that fight.
