No way. The guys that can't manage to manage a real machine, can't understand how things work, and farming out thought also can't figure out their container shouldn't have hard coded creds?

Yeah this person was just sitting around waiting for this to happen. Like most people that do this they aren't the brightest.

No...HBO Max is not a competitor. They're in the same market, but they're not a real rival.

Some People are Too Stupid To Have Credit Cards

At least 30 years ago these people had to get off their ass, look in the mirror, and then drive down to the mall. Sure there was tv shopping; but you really can only buy so many shitty bracelets and necklaces.

Hey new generation. No this isn't a generational problem. The same people said it about my generation and the one before it. Please internet generation hear this:
" You aren't worth it. You don't deserve it. Shut up and get to work. "

Repeat that to yourself the next time you Ubereat and think something looks nice on a facebook or tiktok.

I don't care what this guy says. He should go play in traffic.

These guys have mismanaged several games, the only one I really cared about was KSP2. Not allowing developers to talk to the existing team, having zero meaningful targets or decision points, allowing good idea fairies to run the show, and not nailing down an actual working game engine....

Then closing it down to focus on more profitable items. I get space sim isn't ever going to make as much money as driving the car down the sidewalk and running people down...but I'm still upset this guy let it all happen the way it did.

So if you plan, and then try to do a big thing, and you find out you're a failure because you didn't actually plan... Please tell me these guys didn't just keep getting paychecks.

You know damn well a single full server rack can have enormous power density and simple math says you can't power it .... and you are just 'hoping' some other enormous project comes along you must be hella stupid.

If you don't control it...you can't count on it.

In other news, 99% of studios and developers in 2025 lack the ability to do proper server administration and bandwidth management.
Many think proper user engagement and marketing involve the words "Join our discord".

Trust me, they are a monopoly, but they literally take care of 98% of the problems you would face upon launch day and continued distribution.

Want to do a public beta test? Easy.
Want to load to 3 million users at once? Easy.
Want to be discovered for your sandcastle building game alongside other competing sandcastle building games? Easy.

Finally found an ISP worse than comcast I see.

Yes, I use the name comcast still. I know they have tried to rebrand to Xfinity because their name was so bad. That is why I use it. It is bad. They shouldn't be allowed to get away from it.

Bluetooth latency from your phone to the speaker .... of all the things to scaremonger about.

Pretty positive that the speaker will react properly in less than 1/3 of a second most of the time.

As much as I hate to see companies brick smart features people paid good money for, lets face it none of these functions were necessary. The only possible legitimate feature is linking multiple speakers together properly. This can be done with more professional methods than some shitty app.

Yes this. Mod parent up.

Everything the 'modern developer' uses the last 10 years is pure trash.

Tovar said, "I wouldn't be able to speculate on it, as to why someone would do this."

Really? No speculation at all? A complete mystery you say? Why indeed.

I stopped dual booting for games 10 years ago...same time 10 came out.

Steam/Wine is mostly fine.

Win10 is a solid 10 years old.
Same as an Ubuntu LTS with a support subscription.

Honestly this is fair.

Operating system preservation is a dead argument. They aren't coming to your house and disabling it. It just probably shouldn't touch the internet anymore. You can still run it forever, you just can't on infinity manufacturer warranty support.

I think it is pretty clear, even from the summary, that Norway could see the problem before it happened.

Also, I think everybody on the planet except the marketing people knew about batteries losing effectiveness when cold.

Who modded this race baiting shit up? Shame on you.
He was replied to a software stack rant that had nothing to do with race or nations at all.

I am fully aware of the limitations that made node.js seem like a good idea.

I will get down voted hard, but the problems occured when somebody decided that they wanted to run javascript for a core piece of software. The fact other people piled onto it just compounded the problem.

If you need a thing - you write the software for it. Javascript is probably 30 years old now, but it is still a bad decision.

It is exactly equal to all things container. Sure the idea of a discrete blob that isolates a thing is great...but this is not how anybody is using it. The number of nooblets building environments with hundreds of containers orchestrated to do a certain task is startling. Nooblets that don't have any idea how to actually set up or run a server, multiplying bad practices by the hundreds.
