In 2022, Blizzard was valued at $60B and had a gross profit of $5.4B. Valve almost certainly had a gross profit more than that (Microsoft estimated $6.5B in 2021). $16B would be such a laughably low figure for the company, especially since Microsoft bought Blizzard at $70B (market cap of $74B around the same time). Not to mention how low-risk Valve’s profit is.

I’m kinda surprised no one’s mentioned them yet; but if you wanted a long-winded version of Tom Scott with a focus on technologies, take a look at Technology Connections

Akame ga Kill!

Jokes on you, I don’t have company

you also have 6 fingers? apparently I have 6 brain cells

They’d still be confused, considering commercial typewriters weren’t invented until the late 1800s

what about clown doctors?

Yeah that section really hit hard. Also loved Mick Gordon’s soundtrack :)

Yeah, I knew that the staff was confused, it’s just been several months since the bootloader app stopped working and with this news I’m starting to wonder if it will be available again

This is quite sad news. I feel like there isn’t a phone other than the zenfone 9/10 that could be a valid option for me. I guess I’ll just stick with this phone as long as I can. Hopefully they also release the unlock bootloader so I can download a new OS or some updates.

iirc, it costs $99 a year to be able to upload apps on the apple app store rather than a one-time $25 on android. Also, apple test flight or whatever has a limited amount of people who can use it, rather than just installing an apk on android. Apple’s ecosystem makes it much harder for open source or small apps to exist for iOS devices.

Not that I’m defending this move, but there is a difference between this and your example. iirc, the way Lemmy works, to get content from other instances, this instance “caches” the data and then hosts the data on their server(s) for the users to access. Because of this, the instance is technically hosting the data and could theoretically be held liable in any lawsuits.

Please do correct me if I misunderstand how Lemmy works. Also reading through other comments, it seems like no pirated content is actually hosted on those communities, so I doubt that they could be held liable in the first place.

How do you play bubble volleyball?

nvm, I just can’t comprehend english

Only three more!

There’s a FiiO BTR5 that is a small external DAC with many bluetooth formats. It can have up to two devices connected at the same time, although audio can only switch between the two devices, not play both at the same time

I believe ASUS phones have an unlockable bootloader - although the app for it currently doesn’t work (several month long maintenance?) but is estimated to work again sometime Q3 of this year

The chorus.fightthe.pw website is a great place to search for songs. There’s also CustomSongCentral which has a lot of music packs. Finally there’s the google spreadsheet with a lot of packs. Don’t forget to join the official Clone Hero discord!

I enjoy osu!, ADOFAI, Beat Saber, Clone Hero, and a few others
