Mozilla isn’t google. They took it back and encouraged the guy to reach out in the future if any issues arise.

BFD, it’s not like they banned his account, just one gimped extension that doesn’t do the whole ad blocking experience and even then only because he didn’t do anything to try and reverse it. Then after it’s restored he throws his tantrum and removes it.

With all the extensions out there false positive detections of malicious apps are going to happen. Nobody has unlimited resources to hire boatloads of devs to review every single line of code of every extension for every update done. That’s an insane expectation.

“I don’t have much money left”

Proceeds to get 25 million in funding for his new company. Come the fuck on guy, you live a life practically nobody else does. Even if you were left with a paltry 50 million after you were kicked out of the company you drove into the ground with predatory subscription tactics. That’s more than enough for you, your kids, and your grandkids to all live on comfortably… but no, you have over quadruple that.

Selling the 55 million dollar home just made sense because it wasn’t making money for him the same way cash would.

So it sounds like nobody in this thread looked at the actual article.

This isn’t chic-fil-a. It’s the homophobic bigoted billionaire asshole who has turned a town south of atlanta georgia to a 2.7 billion dollar movie making industry by building a movie making compound. He’s trying to usurp hollywood. His studios have been the filming location for many major blockbuster movies in the past several years.

The article even mentions that the guy has sold 200 homes to the tune of 110 million dollars right by the studios so obviously he’s diversifying beyond chicken.

If there’s a market for christian shit i’m sure he’ll capture it, but i’m sure they will focus on what sells. Maybe they will try to be the epic games of streaming services where they undercut the competition by hiring cheaper labor and taking a smaller cut from the people who pay to use the studios the guy owns.

Unlike steam, nobody loves netflix, disney, hbo or any of the awful streaming services there are now. Even crunchyroll which is a bargain has a fucking awful app and streaming quality issues. Since you don’t “own” the movies on the platform you rent access to there’s no lock-in or cult following like there is with steam. Because of all this… people will go to whoever provides the best service.

that could work, or perhaps have a cut-out on the camera cover that blurs all light going in and has the words written on it “shutter closed” or something. Digital way built into the driver is probably easiest.

Two problems:

• Benchmarks are not real world performance.

• Video card drivers are still not up to snuff as they are with windows, to the best of my knowledge. (don’t kill me if i’m wrong!)

I dont know why few manufacturers dont just put a simple sliding shutter over the camera.

There is an end user support concern with this. I prefer sliders, but users will put in tickets saying their camera doesn’t work.

I still buy lenovo just for this professionally.

I feel like after one threat like this you shouldn’t legally be allowed to own weapons.

If found with an illegal weapon after these statements should be recited in front of a judge/jury during trial so they know why the person shouldn’t be allowed to have it. These kinds of threats are not things that normal, rational people make.

Sounds like e911 or pots lines.

i’m so sorry.

I’ll agree with this. GIMP is the most user-unfriendly piece of photo editing software i’ve used to date. I can pick up video games like Shadow Empire and spend dozens of hours figuring out how it works but GIMP is a wall to me.

2028… so plenty of time for appeals and there will be basically no downward pressure on the housing market there since there is no big rush to offload 10k units that won’t make money.

It’s too bad, would have been better if they just revoked it immediately and banned it in the city.

This is just so some NIMBY tools can’t ban a burrito place from going into a space that was oddly defined to practically mandate a subway restaurant or other sub shop that isn’t explicitly fast food.

Yeah, no… edison was way late to the game. https://www.energy.gov/articles/history-electric-car

At one point steam cars were 40% of the market, electric was 38%, and gas was a paltry 22%

Does the hardware being all so arranged as it is in this manner to create a supercomputer make any difference to that evaluation?

The storage drives for all of this have been stripped. You can’t just run commands on the hardware… you have to figure out how to cluster things with software, buy drives for it all, have it all installed in a datacenter somewhere which is going to cost way more than the purchase price.

The labor costs for the technical people required to do this are way more than half a million a year.

The piecemeal nature of selling thousands of parts means the wages for a group necessary to coordinate it all would probably make the whole thing not feasible.

Ebay prices are higher than market prices imo. 15% ebay cut + 3% paypal fees + sales tax + shipping is brutal.

I don’t know why anyone would buy this. Maybe it’s one of those precious metal reclamation groups.

Generally hardware that old is cheaper to replace with newer more efficient hardware than to even consider running due to electricity costs.
