That's easy, their real belief is that they need to make as much money as possible. They're only pro-capitalism when it means making more money.

Yeah, everyone thought that Chinese cars would have terrible safety and quality, and then the Chinese cars actually turned up and they didn't. And the auto industry collectively made a whoopsie in their pants.

They're still pushing the narrative that Chinese cars are garbage though, because that and tariffs are all that they've got.

Punching up isn't bullying.

I've heard that's a thing - people spend the morning in church being told that they're better than everyone else and then they carry that attitude with them when they go out to eat after church. It takes them a few hours to sober up and remember how to human.

Bonus points if they complained about all the foreigners (French people) in Paris.

"Hey, here's a useful thing that I recommend to people: "

It's basically a compliment

You don't seem to have an Nvidia Vulkan driver installed.

Your system can see the Intel and Nvidia GPUs, but it only sees an Intel Vulkan device and a software emulation device (llvmpipe).

Proton needs Vulkan for graphics to work.

Okay, but running a huge online service on the internet means massive cyberattacks happen on days that end with a Y.

He pulled the plug on equipment and fired people who were supposed to handle the problem, didn't he.

Fucking called it

Only some Pixel 4a phones are affected, apparently.

You know… the stuff they’re doing to some Pixel 4as - reducing charging speed, limiting charge level, etc - those are the same things EV manufacturers do when they’ve got known faulty batteries catching fire and are trying to work around the issue with software.

Doing it to certain devices which you can look up by IMEI, that sounds a lot like something you’d do if you had a certain batch of batteries catching fire and knew which devices had those batteries.

More than a year after end of life, Google suddenly decides “stability of battery performance” is such a big issue that they’re going to pay compensation to people? That isn’t suspicious at all.

But then you can't inflate the numbers by putting a 3.7 volt battery in a power bank, listing the capacity in amp-hours and implying that you get that many amp-hours at the power bank's 5V output voltage.

 

Just two years ago my car's 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!

We've all had Kerbal Space Program missions that went like that.

No, I mean that if lots of developers are using Denuvo wrong, it's Denuvo's fault for being too difficult to use correctly or not providing enough support to developers.

Even if it's the developers using it wrong, if lots of developers are doing that then it's a fault with Denuvo.

If one car hits something, it's a problem with that car. If lots of cars keep hitting something, it's a problem with the road.

 

Something about fibre to the node inspired me.
