Yeah, this article should compare nVidia’s revenue to the US GDP (both measure of annual production). But we know why they aren’t, as it wouldn’t produce an alarming stat.

Not really, because Nvidia's revenue is far less exorbitant than its market cap. I'm not sure why c/technology is suddenly a dumping ground for every random Medium blog, which is as trustworthy a news source as somebody's Facebook feed.

The AI bubble will pop, but will likely be more like the doctom crash than the 2008 one. It isn't as interconnected with the rest of the economy.

If KDE had a toggleable tiling feature like PopOS it would be the perfect DE.

I wonder if this ties into our general disposability culture (throwing things away instead of repairing, etc)

Should cable subscribers be counted 200 times, once for each channel?

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago (3 children)

True - I guess it depends on whether we're defining "subscribers" as people or total paid accounts.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago (5 children)

I don't think those numbers are additive like that - you'd be double-counting people.

If my googling is right, in total there are ~207 million subscribers.

This says 128M, which seems far more plausible. https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/disney-stop-reporting-subscriber-numbers-disney-plus-hulu-espn-1236480413/

Depends how attractive it needs to be. "Entry level" could be an old PC you kave kicking around.

Maybe this article was written by a bot to distract us from the bots talking about other bots. Maybe I'm a bot. Hmm...

So perhaps the real story is simply “lots of tech marketers don’t understand their audience”. Which I think is true. When companies put their spec sheets and feature lists front and center, I’m definitely more likely to pay attention than if I have to dig through screen after screen of meaningless fluff to get any relevant details. So that’s something marketers could (but generally don’t) do to influence me.

It depends on the brand and who their target market is. I'd argue that Framework, for example, market in this way.

Excuse me but "it" is not my preferred pronoun. That's pretty disrespectful.
