That’s what they’re doing though! They’re taxing the companies who send data to French people, not the French people. Corporations are going to be taxed, not people.

It will probably be passed on to normal people but who cares?

Temperature policy changes? So you don’t have to send a tech to each location.

Airvpn has never been audited IIRC and Italy is an eye.

Dunno about ivpn

Yes, and tomorrow it’ll be search engines and day after that it’ll be all websites.

Out of curiosity, how do you envision the Internet existing without data centers? Everyone hosts their own servers at home?

European payment cards when

It’s social media today, AI tomorrow… Day after that it’ll be something you actually care about.

Trouble is that’s like 2 grand or more just to be able to run Strata.

Much of the reason China is winning is that it’s now looting the environment and minorities in its own borders. Europe needs to lower wages across the board and scrap environmental regulations to compete, particularly when it comes to lithium.

Start killing old people people or change the retirement age to 80 and put very severe wealth caps in place then. The entire retirement system is based on growth, doesn’t even matter if capitalism or not, because it involves a large group of people living off the backs of others. It was fine when the economy and population was still growing, now it’s getting oppressive.

Having some CIA contracts doesn’t automatically mean the company is a CIA front lol.

Ellison is an Israeli asset though and that’s documented.

Because making it a universal rule doesn’t single out China and also protects from schemes where the same cheap shit starts coming through Vietnam instead.

Which car is that? Because I guarantee Asian manufacturers spy on you just the same.

Perhaps not enough companies printing? Unless it’s very specifically the raw material cost

Expected to close next year. It’s 13 billion though. They could back out if it seems the bubble is popping.

No better source. It’s a very costly business to run and currently not really monetized. I suspect nvidia is doing this so a cornerstone of the AI industry doesn’t die. They want to keep selling chips after all.

Yeah but compared to 1.5 years ago, storage is up 2x at least. Even HDDs are more expensive than same size NVME SSDs used to be, it seems.

They throw in massive poly count models with high resolution textures and ever bigger game worlds, then (on PC) let you scale down the quality.

Only real solution is having high res textures as a separate download which some games do but if the console can handle them anyway, there’s less reason, compared to PC where you might have a lower end graphics card that can’t handle 4K textures anyway

Current gen consoles have NVMe thankfully so that bullshit is now obsolete at least

It’s actually easier to grab the games from their website because the old launcher is so slow. New one is a bit better, but at the end of the day it’s still a wrapper for the website.

They’re costing Epic money and not actually playing the games so idk who fell for the bait tbh
