  • Unfortunately the hunt for some of these eggs is ongoing.

  • Oh huh. I just remember him winning the new shareholder vote for which I believe the stakes were "gimme money or I leave" despite there being no legal requirement to pay him.

  • Yep. There was another shareholder vote and he won it.

  • They just paid fucking 60 billion dollars to him to keep him from quitting. Maybe a smidge of sunk cost fallacy.

  • SPAÆACE!

  • Depends on how you sell them, but yes. Don't assume that you aren't hurting an individual when you steal IP.

  • “We lied and paid a $3M fine.”

  • Yeah, growing up on the plains of Africa and being generally larger than birds means that most important things don't come from above you.

  • Humans have the same issue, we just don't have that same instinct for whatever reason.

    Location is determined by the time-of-flight difference in the sound wave between each ear. So if something hits your left ear first, you know that it's coming from the left.

    You can't do that when things are above/below.

  • Many QR codes today are designed to be scanned in a general QR app and then launch their specific app. Not sure how the markup works exactly, but I’ve seen it work like that.

  • ok, now do chroot

  • Heh forgot about the App Store.

    Maybe a bad example, but there is certainly a trend recently of purpose built hardware with “free” services failing to justify the expenses of the necessary backend infrastructure getting turned into useless landfill.

    Car Thing, Facebook Portal, and this dumb little treat dispensing dog webcam that I used to have come to mind.

    Everyone hates subscriptions, but when it comes to hardware that needs to generate revenue to function, I think a token dollar or so a month is appropriate.

    Edit: also thinking about it more, core OS software features that are arbitrarily linked to new hardware (like Apple Intelligence) are definitely designed to sell more phones over just selling more software on existing phones. I think it’s fair to say that there’s a revenue link there.

  • Yep, caught that right after I posted and made an edit.

  • I've been using a Sunbeam flip phone for a year or so. Paid for the phone up front, and pay $3/mo for use of maps, speech recognition, and continued bugfixes.

    Even if phones never got new features, dev time still needs to be committed to security updates, and services (like Siri) need to be paid for. The model of getting 100% of your revenue from new phone sales is starting to break. If I could pay $3/mo for Siri or whatever and never have my phone go obsolete, I think that'd be a good deal.

  • Guessing they tried to use the more colloquial "to school on," but accidentally created a garden path sentence.

  • Also, "Work won't love you back."
