That’s about what you expect a cop to act like.

Yeah their videos were what everyone wants but their actual product was way more clumsy and primitive. Technology isn’t there yet for what these guys were trying to make.

They’re not feasible because of the erosion of the barrel with our current level of materials science.

People don’t want dumb phones. They’re already available and no one buys them.

You guys do this like every quarter lol

Exactly. Everyone wants an ad-free platform that’s free to use. Either you pay for the product or you are the product.

Not to mention everyone’s ignoring how China bans multiple American internet services so they can force their population to use Chinese replicas of the same thing.

only if it’s missing a specific app you need.

Like most video games.

Can tell you’re in your 20s.

Bless your heart if you think this is limited to EVs.

Its just the first example that came to mind.

Uh, in this case it’s a single-player, shooter, from a brand new IP. I’m probably just commenting just to argue but I don’t think Baldur’s Gate 3 is a good comparison at all.

EA is a truly awful idea. I’m curious if their sports games are the only thing keeping them in business.

Non-profit to enjoy the perks that come with that until they’re big enough to cash out.

Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t, and all that.

Like all these fake trees or solar trees or carbon vacuums instead of just planting more trees.

If they can’t sell it, then they’ll lower prices and people will be able to buy them.

I doubt the profits are so hard to come up with considering the wild CEO pay and record profits everyone’s bragging about.

I did and still am.

Happy hours never went away. Swag also never went away. I don’t know if the writer here actually knows anyone or just overheard someone talking about that stuff and assumed it was new.

Covid did reduce the amount of stuff being bought. Freezer went away so ice cream went away. Less alcohol in the game rooms (though no shortage during happy hours), custodial stopped working on weekends (not too many people here anyway, just don’t leave food in your trash bin anymore). They cut a “health” allowance from 3k to 2k =(

Anyway, it’s easily the best decision I’ve ever made. I make twice my city’s median household income. The push for RTO blows (I’m convinced Lori/HR need to justify their existence). At first it was 3 days, now we just got told two specific days (happy hour days are going to rotate, RIP). There’s even a whole HRIS system in place for compliance tracking and all kinds of other wasted money/man hours that went into this. Makes no sense. They keep reference “the data” and “studies” but aren’t showing us what they’re saying. Nevermind that the C suite all got Exceeds Expectations after having to fire dozens of thousands of people (we still believe executive performance = company performance).

Things are coming back since our stock is back to starting with a 3. The only thing that pissed me off was how many laid off people’s positions were re-filled like 6 months later. It’s like the layoffs were just to get dilute the blood in the water that investors were looking for and hearing about a bunch of layoffs make rich people happy. Other than that, my team is amazing, my manager is awesome, work schedule is extremely flexible (single with 2 kids, I don’t know how I’d manage at any of my previous places I’ve worked). There’s the usual “cost saving” bullshit (although, there are honestly a LOT of areas that have been streamlined without any real detrimental effect, so kudos to that) but honestly that’s not Meta-specific. Meta just makes the news because it serves 1/3 of the planet.

Also, we make fun of Reality Labs for not being profitable and we don’t give a shit about Threads because it was made in a few months by a few people. Twitter isn’t really that hard to emulate.
