I say this as a 30 year software dev that actually understands 'the full stack' unlike the poser node.js devs that think that means 'browser and 1500 node is plug-ins to fix tabs in SOURCE CODE' collage drop outs
Deal with it. Move on or be replaced. And if you whine about it, you will absolutely be replaced
Why?
They've basically said:
There is an easier way, better tool - USE IT.
Would you rather they act like whip makers when cars were created?
Its honorable to recognize you've been replaced by a more efficient process.
NC is the only state I know of that does this. I've been over a good portion of the US and all of the south east and NO WHERE ELSE do they do this shit.
And its not like its an experiment, I've lived in NC for over 20 years now and they are still too stupid to use reflective paint.
We also have this dumbass shit as well - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncdot.gov%2Fnews%2Fpre...
There is literally NO WAY more than one lane at a time can flow through that intersection and it is almost impossible to make it from one side to the other without stopping EVERY SINGLE TIME. If you are in the front row at the first light and speed, you can make it through the otherside if no one else is in the way and you don't mind ignoring the lane lines in order to cut corners - but otherwise it is literally impossible for traffic to flow through the intersection. Everyone going through has to stop - which is pretty much the EXACT OPPOSITE of useful.
Fucking this - RIGHT HERE - THIS.
More intense light is not the fucking solution. 50 bright ass blue flashers on vehicles are a problem - they make it hard to see ANYTHING BUT THEM, so you run over the worker in the road cauase all you could see was the ignorant cop that left his flashers on full blast and blinded everyone driving by. ESPECIALLY THE DRUNKS and people high on something.
More consistent light on the pavement so you can see whats there is whats needed - not getting my retinas burned like I'm welding without protection because some jack ass at a light company makes more money selling light bars with more and more lights on it.
This shit is absolutely ridiculous.
I understand the myopic that makes this happen. Amazon gets a marquee event, and supposedly boosts its stature and hopefully drives viewership. Everything a corporate vice president wants. The Emmy organization gets the most money, that they use for⦠whatever. Win-win right?
Well, no. Viewership will drop because now people have to get an Amazon prime subscription as opposed to simply having basic cable, or (gasp!) an antenna. They wonâ(TM)t even know when it happens because they wonâ(TM)t see the ads for it on a competing network. And so what used to be yearly appointment viewing cultural touchstone dies.

No, it means you stop eating at McDonald's.
Its already over priced and its complete shit for you in almost every conceivable way. If your options are Eat McDonald's or die a slow death of starvation
And you you think this is going to 'make it better' you're really dense.
Anyone doing ram swaps will just flash the old firmware and ship it - it'll boot fine until the purchaser upgrades it to new firmware - and suddenly the firmware update broke it, and who was responsible for that update
The excuse that this is going to solve problems is either outrageously ignorant and short sighted - or complete bullshit
I suspect RPF will find themselves on the end of lawsuits regarding bricking devices. Doesn't matter if the devices were fakes or not - accidently breaking a device because its fake and you didn't know better is one thing. Actively detecting and breaking things on purpose is entirely different. Intent matters.
Either way - RPF will be less appealing to even more people who will now just start with an alternative and avoid RPF all together, which is good cause anything that screws Broadcom is good for humanity
The irony of you confusing 'cuck' with MAGA when it was in fact invented by the opposite group
Raspberry Pi has literally NEVER been about the tinkerer. You like many are confused by the BS they spew about their goals but they have always been about making money. Any thing indicating they were for 'tinkering' was a side effect they hand't figured out how to squelch yet. These guys are not altruistic in any form.
It didnt' affect 'the channels' - it affected cheap knock off sites in the exact same way that literally every product on the planet is affected. There is nothing at all unique to the RaspPi channel other than the raspberry pi, which as the knock off show, isn't unique.
As for your last line - not sure thats worth a response - you get offended at the word cuck - then demonstrate being a cuck for the raspberry pi guys
All of this is fine and your choice of course, but the high horse you think you're on is pretty sad looking. The instant you have to lead your comments with a political insult - that you don't even understand the etymology of, you demonstrate you don't have an argument in the first place.
Its mind numbing that you're proud of this and tell us about it, 'look at me, I'm being taken advantage of and used AND I LIKE IT' - talk about a cuck
Where I live. (North Carolina), any one involved in a conversation is allowed to record the conversation from the moment they entered it until it ends, without any consent required. This is not uncommon as it allows people to protect themselves from others scams/threats/ect.
Anyone who think their conversation is secure and private is sadly mistaken. Its only private as long as all other parties respect you.
Get over this silly notion that you can say things to someone and it leave no evidence beyond a man's word. The time for low grade liars has passed.
Theyâ(TM)re literally breaking their product and then ransoming it back to you for a monthly protection fee.
Enshitification is too kind of a word
'caught off guard'
When? a few years ago?
The usefulness of Apple Unified memory for LLMs is a selling point they've been using for at least a year, if not 2.
It was a marketing strategy, not sure how it 'caught them off guard' when it was part of the plan.
This story keeps popping up around the last week or so and its as if you don't remember that the m3 was is great at it, and marketed for LLMs because of unified memory - and the M4 was more aggressively marketed for AI - in late 2024.
So again, WHEN were they caught of guard? in 2020? And yet dumbass 'journalists' keep reposting the same shit.
It has happened under both.
What year is this? Itâ(TM)s so wild that SCO is still doing this same bullshit after 30 fucking years!!!!
Jesus! I know that donâ(TM)t have anything else to do, but itâ(TM)s hard to believe that thereâ(TM)s anyone at SCO that would be willing to dust off their parentsâ(TM) failed lawsuits, but apparently there is.
The only people still using it are the ones that will complain about anything they can, and will never be satisfied cause they need this one special tweak that everyone else KNOWS is stupid, but fuck it, we put a VPN in there, why not support the dumbest shit for one dude on his high rocking horse. Who immediately complains about some other stupid idea. So will give him a prompt first use
99% of users want things to work without having to answer a bunch of stupid questions based on some developers shit head politics and need to impress his childish view points on users.
And this is why Foxbat will always be nothing better that the replacement for IE6, it will continue to be an example of why developers and their personal politics shouldn't be allowed in the git commit history.
Add another option is usually the result of not beimg able to figure out a better starting point. Its rarely solving problems, usually adding bugs, problems and complexity.
The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it.
