Youre complaining that they attempt to advance technology to acquire marketshare?

Yes, it is a colossal industry wide issue of “needing” a new product in a rapidly decreasing window regardless of the utility of the product.

Ha, that’s the funny part. They could have kept pumping out AM4 and taken market share slowly over time while making normal money, making normal jobs, but noooooo line must go up every quarter. So we instead got new products that are twice as much money (when ddr5 came out) that are less stable and not much better, and then to make line go up more fuck selling to people lets all do AI bullshit instead. And now we are in a world where now there is no current viable product, less jobs, and less money people are willing to spend on things that cost 5X what they should.

Still runs everything well, so why not?

Its wild to me on how little the actual need for ddr5 is in regular memory. As far as generations go I can not think of a lesser uplift. With how poor modern software has become with memory efficiency maybe they just thought you can out ram everything. But the speeds of ddr5 just are not realing needed for users. I have never seen someone bottleneck on ram speed for a very very long time.

If I can find the lawsuit sure, It was just a footnote in a suit about 5 years ago. Oddly I am having issues finding the coverage on it from before, but I do know that the suit was settled and was to include evidence of hidden backup “maintenance” networks if a smart device was offline/did not report after a set time. I remember it was a big deal at the time as it implied that device makers where building in support for these unlisted hotspots possibly across manufacturers.

There is a current case on the issue in general but not about the back door network tricks, not even sure if the backdoor was ever proven (the case was settled). But I know that these companies think they are entitled to our data and have little trust they would not do some sort of shit like this.

Well in the tv and fridge example they piggy backed on other networks in range using a backdoor. Like cellphones and other devices.

No need for magic, if samsung and sony can do it with tvs and fridges why would Meta (a company built almost entirely on and from user data) not use the same sort of tactics, maybe not the raw data but meta data I am sure.

Ha, look at this dood over here trusting Meta does not get the data on their devices though workarounds.

But all that money can’t be wrong!

Well, yes, one of a few reasons. Not the only one but certainly in the top 5. Not above telling struggling people that actually everything is great and that those people must be misinformed/skill issue during a election.

Evil Light

Terrorism is going to become so hot this year.

Also people just flat out don’t have the disposable income these companies assume they do anymore. People on average (at least in my part of the world) are drowning or just barely affording food, relying more and more on debit to make ends meet. The amount people have to spend on anything not essential is at (at least in my lifetime) an all time low.

How much is the fee? Because last I checked it was not like an etransfer (included in most banking plans).

How is it not? They take a part of every fucking payment. Jesus Christ would not like it at all.

HA, how do you fuck up notepad?! Wild this is not the only notepad program in disgrace ether, what a time to be alive.

Hows the whole “must update for security” people doing?

Depends on your bank, some have insurance on debit (like a credit card) but a lot in Canadian banks are moving to visa/MasterCard debit cards (since a bunch of our banks moved into the us market and are therefore tainted).

Discover wants a $25k retainer from me to take them as an option. Its just not realistic for smaller businesses when they have such a small footprint.

Ah, are they world wide and less corrupt?

Jbc?
