So they forced me to migrate my pocket account to my Mozilla account, breaking login in my Kobo reader and then 6 months later they kill it? Couldn’t just directly kill it?

zero competitors are forced to raise prices 10% in europe, though

it’s a console launched 5 years ago with no new revision, it was unattractive for €500 in 2020 and it’s even more unattractive for €600 in 2025, if they want to move more units they should lower the prices, not increase them. With this price people can get a real PC with better performance, where you don’t need to pay a subscription to play online. And there are no cool “must have” exclusives like the ps5 or the switch, so the premium is not justified.

Trump puts tariffs on Americans and then companies use this as an excuse to raise prices worldwide

Good luck selling a “Xbox one series x pro plus elite series s” for €600

I can’t believe that Microsoft had almost a monopoly between msn messenger and Skype. Then they slept and let WhatsApp/Facebook take everything (iMessage is not a thing in my country)

✔️and some lit emojis 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

The repo is about an exploit and then hundreds of people just run the script? Seems interesting

They’re doing war crimes on camera and nobody is batting one eye, corruption is nothing compared to the rest

Maybe from some android tablet from 2021 /s

Now I understood why a few weeks ago it was said that xitter was back to the old ultra overvalued valuation even with less revenue and less users. Because he found some other idiots to pay for it hoping to hit big when and if does an IPO

What? It wasn’t already the same company? Are you telling me that managed to create a useless company with no revenue from his asshole, persuaded idiots to pour billions in this new startup, then used that money to pay the billions in debt that other idiots lent to buy another useless company with no revenue?

that budget was allocated by the biden admin. It means trump will 100% cancel it “just because”.

Also: trump cancelled a contract with chargepoint to keep online all the EV chargers in the federal facilities. If they buy those armored teslas then they won’t have a place to charge them anymore

Tesla now is definitely in panic mode! In my country they slashed the price of the model 3 by 4000 euro AND they’re doing mystery shopping inspections like the traditional carmakers!

I make beer money with mystery shopping (Corporations pay me $2/hour to go to pretend to buy their product in their stores to report the customer experience). Traditional carmakers ask this to do all the time: KIA wants pictures of their ads in their dealers to see if the match the guidelines, Ford wants to know if i ask a oil change what price I will be quoted, Honda wants to know what people will be told if they ask to test drive a CBR650, and so on.

New this month… TESLA! They never had to resort to this kind of stuff, that means they’re desperate.

100% faking that. Yesterday the esims got remotely disabled, the server shut off so it’s impossibile to push any OTA update.

If they really wanted, the fact that a loyal customer that paid almost one year of subscription had access to a certificate is completely irrelevant to publishing said OTA update

You joke but their idea is to migrate all the remaining skype users to Microsoft Teams (consumer edition, incompatible and not interoperable with Teams business edition, they have the exact same icon but with the colors reversed)

It’s the same stuff, but worse™️

The real reason is that they want to save money on the text messages (outside of the US they need to pay $0.05 each time), not because they actually care about user security.

Like when xitter ran out of money and didn’t pay their sms bills and people were locked out of their accounts

Do you think he got obscenely wealthy paying armies of people?

He’s famous for firing people, not hiring

List of applications that depended on it:

They’re not apple, if they increase the price it means they think most of the competition will increase the prices or nobody would buy their stuff

After all, the margins are thin and the tariff is high

They’re useful for printed media

“Find more info at bitly/event” instead of “find more info at facebook.com/unnecessarilylongurlthatnobodyisgoingtotype”

Or for a qr code where it needs to be small and somehow your URL is too long

But yes, relying on a third party company for something that needs to last a long time isn’t really smart. There are many books that have online content now inaccessible because they used a link shortener that’s dead or that doesn’t let you update the redirection without paying a ransom (need to pay $120/year to bitly if you need to change the redirection)

I remember blackberry using bitly links in their developer emails in 2013, and at the time it was possible to see the stats of any link by just adding “+” at the end of the link (now requires authentication or maybe only paid users can lock that page)

It was dismaying to see that it got only 50 clicks or so lol
