end goal is everybody just has phones with locked bootloaders

Right?! Steam is great if you’re willing to wait. I basically don’t buy games anymore unless they’re 80% off or really cheap anyways.

I’d love to see that 30% go to 15 or 10, but this lawsuit is a stretch

steambox is rumored to be $650 us but that could be bullshit. we’ll see.

it probably wont pop in the way a lot of online commenters are predicting. big companies like google, microsoft, apple, amazon, etc will be fine. a bunch of startups and small-mid sized companies will go under. a few big ones will get bought by bigger ones.

even without ai they’re going to need more datacenters. there’s a lot you can do with a shitton of compute beyond generating questionable ai-slop.

NFTs didn’t directly need GPUs really. eth did, but that’s not really the same thing. NFTs didn’t increase demand, the price of eth did. Same in how the price of bitcoin increased demand.

Either way, prices never came down from that, and I suspect they’ll never come down from this.

plummeting

I just checked and at least the ones I have are all doing fine, mostly only a bit down from their aths
