Except cds had better audio quality, you could shuffle or skip, they didn't where out or get "eaten" by the player, there was no rewinding or having to flip the tapes over, you could install cd changers in your car so you wouldnt have to swap discs around, and there was still no preventing you from recording a cd onto a cassette if you wanted. My old boombox could bootleg that shit easy as could be.
No one in or out of the industry wanted to keep cassettes. By comparison, they were trash.
Tesla Claimed 8,669 Canadian EV Rebates as the Program Ran Out of Funds… That’s 1.5 Sales Per Minute
It was out of 4 dealerships. It's impossible to sale that many cars in three days from 4 dealerships, no matter how many people want to buy them. Plus no way was Canadian demand that high over a $5k rebate.
Yall got reading issues. It says one of the dealerships sold 1200 in a single day.
Fun fact: that never actually happened. It was just a fun little goof some papers ran with and spread for shits and gigs to play along. No one thought it was real.
In actuality, it was a weekly radio program that always told fiction stories and it was on its regular broadcast time, only had a 2% listener audience across the US, there were commercial breaks that mentioned the show, and no one believed it was real. No histaria, no people killing themselves, no end of the world vibes.
Aside from most greentexts being fabricated stories, how long do you think they have between classes to get moved around on campus?
Because there's no Microcenter in my city.
Lol. Take advantage of who?
Lol. Sure, buddy.
And you didn't answer my question.
What position are they taking advantage of? If they ask for a smaller cut than 30 percent they get botched at for being anti competitive and being too cheap to try and compete against. They ask for more than 30% and they're price gouging. Sure, everyone who works there is happy and sleeps in piles of money, but they can't do anything about it without turning into more of a monopoly. As it stands they at least blow money on potentially cool things in R&D like the steam controller, steam box, and Steam Deck.
What do you actually want Gabe to do? He's already far and wide the industry leader in employee compensation, and he can't take a smaller cut without becoming a monopoly. Yeah, he could donate loads of money to charity, but his giant stack of cash also keeps his private company lush with funds to continue paying his employees if anything dire does happen, instead of doing like everyone else and laying off people.
I'm a bit of a diy and repair nerd for damned near anything. I have a near 20 year old roomba 530 model that still works great. Back then and for a good many years roombas were hands down the best bang for your buck. I haven't recommended them for the past decade. They fell behind in ability and build quality. Let alone any of the privacy concerns stuff. Damned shame.
