Do you understand what "barely" means? I didn't say no financial incentive, I said barely. And Youtube taking almost half of your ad revenue (which itself is pocket change unless you're a channel focused on investing, law, software development or real estate or you're a channel regularly making over 100k videos) is barely a financial incentive. People complain about Valve taking 30% from game sales and Youtube takes 45%.

But you are correct in the sense that you can still make decent money with Youtube ads. But to make worthwhile money you need to make videos in the niches advertisers like, target an audience advertisers like (almost exclusively English speaking audience) and make videos that make at least over 1k views (which instantly puts you in the top 10% of content creators). Or be in the top 1% of content creators and average over 100k views per video. If you're making something like gaming videos for 10k viewers Youtube pays you around $5 per video. At that point for the same video and viewers you're probably going to make more money from the Peertube donation button than Youtube ad revenue.

So no, I'm not lying.

YouTube barely gives a financial incentive for most creators, that's why most of them take sponsorship deals and/or use Patreon.

There is no politics in Ba Sing Se.

In a way they have stolen it, they've stolen the value by not replacing it. It's highly likely the stick is faulty and would have to be replaced under warranty. The faulty stick they returned is useless and they're trying to stiff him by not giving him a working stick that he's entitled to.

Even then nothing would happen because modern day capitalists are like kings and kings don't get held accountable.

There is a reason why Dyson spheres are science fiction. That reason is not "there's not enough water to boil". If we were to somehow have the technological capacity to build a Dyson sphere it would most likely use some direct light to energy solution, something like photovoltaics. Or if it did need to go light -> heat -> electricity it wouldn't be using water, it would be using noble gases.

Well you don't have to build them right now. You've got time. As I understand Sony is pushing PS6 release into 2028 due to all the hardware shortage. Either the bubble pops and hardware prices drop (or maybe China gets its production high enough to bring the prices down) or prices will still be so incredibly expensive that the next gen consoles will also be pushed back. Use the hardware you have right now and let us all cling to the hope that maybe in the future things will be better.

And? Just because it's a good practice doesn't mean it's okay for Windows to go and fuck up every other OS on the drive. There shouldn't be any technical issues with having two OS on the same drive. What if you just want to test two different OS so you could decide which one to keep? Are you supposed to buy a new drive just because you'll need it for a month?

What you've said is not an argument why Windows gets to fuck up every other OS that's on the same drive.

They shouldn't. There are a lot of arguments why they shouldn't. But there's only one argument why they might, it's the most corrupt government in the entire US history and they're very gung ho about siphoning wealth upwards. No amount of logic or reasoning will work against corruption. If the government wants to bail them out they will find a way to bail them out.

Of course but the cost can be mitigated. I've seen an AI built project and the outcome is that you pretty much have to continue using AI to continue development because it's borderline incomprehensible for humans. When AI fails to continue development you scrap the entire project and start from scratch.

I imagine all companies that allowed AI to go wild in their codebase have a lot of components that need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Yeah, and you're a consumer who should be acting in your own self interest. In case or needs to be said, a company going digital only on their own closed platform is not in your interest even if you buy digital only or don't even use the platform. So unless you like being a corporate bootlicker maybe don't defend things that are against your self interest.

Well yeah, but the price is so high because the big 3 refuse to meet the demand so CXMT selling ram is also going to force the hand of the big 3 unless they're okay with CXMT just gobbling up the market. It won't happen overnight but if the AI deals are to be believed CXMT has years to scale up production because the big 3 will have their docks stuck in the AI pot.
