A lot of it is because Amazon is known for stealing designs from innovative, small companies and running them out of business to sell their stolen designs under the Amazon Basics brand. Usually they do so by decreasing the quality of materials and relying on their own supply chain to keep prices low.

Link to an article from 2021

Edit: Also found this Youtube video by Peak Design, who are very well known for their high quality gear. It's about Amazon ripping off their sling bag design.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to see what Intel can do in the dedicated GPU market. Their last card was certainly quite exciting in its own way.

As opposed to xenophobia. You know, like HP Lovecraft's cat?

You take that back! That movie is a master piece of modern cinema! 😠

Reminds me of certain Khajiit mods for Skyrim. Not that I've ever tried any of them... cough cough

Isn't at least one of those people in the lower half a dude?

Honestly, Skyrim. With so many great mods available these days, you can literally turn it into a whole different game. And with modpacks on Nexus, Wabbajack or similar sites, it's easier than ever. I'm just getting back into it myself after 3 years, but I'm still a big fan of getting into the nitty gritty of it and configuring everything myself.

Yeah, I got the joke. Doesn't mean I can't say anything about the actual table lol

Wdym, I didn't miss the joke 🤔

Would probably be better if the whole thing was covered by a thin layer of resin. Or if the tire's profile was somehow filled in, at least.

Right. I much prefer edible noodle straws. Less waste, more crunch!

The prequel had mostly orks in the beginning, but they sprinkled in some other enemies later on. So I assume they'll do something similar here.

But Burns is canonically older than Gramps!

I see, sorry for misunderstanding. I've also heard about the problem with voting turnout. As a European, the whole US voting system just seems kinda obscure in general. Although, to be fair, the right party voters are also way more likely to vote here than the ones from other parties.

Because they're a small company producing a niche product, so the scale they produce on is way smaller too. They also don't have a huge B2B branch to cover their other costs with, like HP, for example.

And it is actually sometimes more expensive to make something modular than not, just in manpower and testing alone, not even considering RnD and manufacturing. Also, they make less money in repairs or new devices, if the users can just easily repair the device themselves.

So unless they manage to stay in the business for a while and grow their customer base by quite a big amount, their prices will most likely stay the same. Personally I think that they're on a good path to getting there eventually.

It's a little different with Netflix, because of what they started out as. With Youtube, I expected to be advertised to from the beginning, you know? I pay for Youtube Premium and use Sponsor Block to support the creators I watch while having a mostly ad free experience. Also, I just trust most of the creators that I watch to have my best interest in mind in terms of what they advertise.

But for Netflix, their whole thing from the beginning was that they were better TV. That's how they sold it to me. Now they're slowly losing their point. So I'd definitely not be alright with it if they started showing me ads on top of my subscription fee. Same with Prime Video, because I know they're experimenting with that.

And they're right. I mean, Trump's a waste of oxygen, so why should anyone vote for him?

The reason we're stuck on fossil fuels isn't just because of the people's opinions. The main reason is the same as for most other major problems: money.

Isn't Plex also slowly going down the shitter? Like, with their social features and stuff?

For me, it depends on what they're promoting. If it's some crappy mobile game or crypto, I'm out. But I'm fine with the usual shit like energy drinks or VPNs. Like, those things usually have a serious business behind them, even if they might be useless for the vast majority of viewers.
