Of course they do because it benefits them financially at the tax payers expense.

Entry level economics will tell you that raising your price does not always give you more profits. We’ll see how it goes for them.

Pc gamers love Steam. Epic needs to win PC gamers hearts if they want to compete with Steam. Winning/stealing developers is not going to get them there. The free games got them on the map, but they still need to win hearts with tech on par with Valve’s.

Apple may be monopolists, but at least they didn’t bundle Internet Explorer with their operating system like previously convicted monopolists.

Is the CPU using a socket that makes it not upgradable? I don’t mind the cpu itself because I’m sure it’s fine to match with those GPUs, but I also want to stick with standard parts that can be replaced without having to go to the manufacturer. I have an Asus laptop and they don’t post bios...

I have a laptop with a 3060, but I didn’t turn it on the day of the survey, so it didn’t get counted this month. I was on desktop, so its video card did get counted this time.

Google owns chromium. It is open source, but they are still the owner. They would be forced to sell it too. The new owner could decide to close the source. However, some of its source code could be forked before that depending on the license. The BSD portions could definitely be forked.

Unless you have a $10,000 audiophile system, you probably won’t hear the difference. unless they lower the quality of the standard plan.

I think Intel can easily turn things around. It would be a terrible thing to let Intel go.

I use Apple maps because it doesn’t have ads. If they add ads then I would likely switch to something else. Not having ads and tracking is why I use iphone instead of android.

Isn’t Mexico part of North america? They didn’t call it to Gulf of United states of america.

I hope I don’t get sued by the US goats union for my AI generated deep fake golden goat avatar.
