  • Mozilla lost the Internet because mobile became the most common way to go online, and Mozilla (at least on Android) had been an absolute dumpster fire for years. I tried it a few times, but it would just randomly freeze for a few seconds for no reason. But I could switch to another browser and keep going at the same moment when Firefox froze so it wasn’t a phone issue.



  • How so, at least with this article? It mentions a couple times things like:

    what she hasn’t done is disown the current tariffs on the imports of China, which have also been harmful.

    if Harris wins and resumes Biden’s supposedly more strategic approach to tariffs, tech companies already feeling heavily burdened expect they would be stuck with extra costs under her administration

    Harris hasn’t been clear about her plans for tariffs if elected

    It’s unclear how quickly prices would rise if Trump or Harris expanded tariffs.

    It feels (at least to me) pretty balanced on this that they will rise if either one is elected, they just can’t say how much under Harris because she hasn’t given details about it, which they point out many times. Trump has declared his intention, so that’s why his amount is shown.

    Trump’s threat of a 60 percent tariff on all Chinese goods is perhaps the clearest worst-case scenario for tech companies preparing to adapt as administrations shift.

    What makes a MMO different from a live service? Both have characters, levels, character progression exp based on killing enemies and doing X actions/quests, and have new content added as time goes on.

    From how I see it, it’s just a different name to just avoid being called a MMO.

    MMO still requiring a monthly fee in 2024 is ridiculous.

    May I point you to Call of Duty on consoles? They are Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) that needs a monthly subscription (Xbox Live, which owns Cal of Duty, or PS Plus).

    Online gaming has more people paying for an online subscription today than ever before (Nintendo Online included). While the companies being paid for it have changed, monthly online gaming subscriptions are here to stay and have only gotten larger.












  • Again, they have a court approved document. As per the lawsuit filing:

    Recognizing the value of Wiwynn’s custom-tailored solutions, on September 24, 2014, X Corp. entered into a Master Purchase Agreement with Wiwynn. For nearly eight years, X Corp. sourced and Wiwynn provided unique, custom-designed IT infrastructure products including rack solutions for X Corp.’s data centers, based on forecasts provided by X Corp. The components used to build the products are largely unique to the products, resulting in long lead times for ordering such component parts from suppliers. To ensure that products could be manufactured on the strict timeline X Corp. required, X Corp. specifically gave written approval for Wiwynn to purchase the necessary components to manufacture the custom products being made for X Corp., and expressly assumed liability for the procurement costs.

    And a master purchase agreement is a legally binding contract.
