It is the difference between objectively bad and comparatively bad.

I use stable as a relative term, but it isn't like the number of non-white people dying goes down during periods of instability.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony stops producing Blu-ray soon.

We have the technology for the next generation of discs that could support 8k. It just happens to be that no one wants to put money into creating the standard.

Sony may not want to deal with it anymore.

There's always Microsoft and Nintendo.

The Concert of Europe kept the continent relatively peaceful for a century, mainly by ensuring that one nation didn't become another Napoleonic France.

Post World War II was also relatively peaceful compared to the interwar years, mainly because of the two interventionist powers trying to compete with each other. There was a lot of genocide after World War I.

It sounds like it's going to be an eager intern answering questions that needs thought behind it before answering.

It was bad enough having people demand answers immediately after they stopped talking on Teams.

I look at the Steam Machine being a proof of concept device leading to third party development.

There is now a lot of interest in computer markers to make their own machine and Valve is more than happy if they do it at no cost to Valve.

Yes, as the Federal Government does as well when it comes to emissions laws

Trucks. The only car Ford makes any more is the Mustang.

Nah. Meta needs something to grow.

Right now, they are sitting on social media platforms that can't see meaningful growth and a messaging platform near the same. Nothing that Meta has tried to create after either defends their existing revenue streams from dying or creates a new revenue stream.

Without significant change, Meta is a decade away from being another AOL.

See Microsoft and Adobe.

Except Microsoft and Adobe never bankrupted a company by getting adopted. It was a tax that companies could afford since they were still rounding errors compared to labor.

If the adoption of a tech can be measured as being roughly equal to higher than the labor expense of a company, that decision isn't going to be dictated by what Susan in HR knows.

They are probably only sending the bare minimum to make Trump happy. They don't want to sell American made cars and trucks in Japan, so they are doing it badly.
