@HashimKhanoo7 @Pirat_Nation Cry harder bitch boy. Valve isn't obligated to sell the most repairable hardware at a loss because you're broke

@Pirat_Nation Sweeney no saint but Valve sits on billions from 30% Steam tax for 20 years.
Gaben net worth $11B with a yacht fleet, but suddenly cant absorb a component spike?
English
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is getting backlash after attacking Gabe Newell following the Steam Deck OLED price hike and saying he needs the money to buy more superyachts.
Valve says the increases are due to rising RAM and SSD component costs, but Sweeney wasn’t buying it.
“Valve needs the extra revenue to continue maintaining its megayachts.”

@OracleGuruMike @HeinzyGuderian @Cryptoboyy_Aji It's not "giving" if you got paid. If you're still alive you're still expected to carry your weight. You've had decades to prepare.

@HeinzyGuderian @Cryptoboyy_Aji I have for 53 years. I have given back to my profession in the form of books, articles, presentations, methodologies, presented at dozens of conferences, put out many videos to teach. Can you say the same?

Boomers: “Houses aren’t unaffordable. Stop eating out. Stop buying coffee. Learn to budget.”
Also Boomers: “I can’t afford the property taxes on my fully paid off house.”
Sir.
You own the house free and clear.
No mortgage. No interest. No lender.
And the tax bill alone is breaking you.
But you want me to believe the problem is my Chipotle order.
The same system that’s pricing you out of a house you already own is the same system pricing us out of one we’re trying to buy.
Maybe it was never about the avocado toast.
English
@OracleGuruMike @Cryptoboyy_Aji That's too damn bad. Isn't your generation always saying "life ain't fair"? Maybe pull yourself up by your bootstraps a little bit.
English
@Cryptoboyy_Aji It isn't breaking me. I just want it to be fair.

THIS IS HOW AI BUBBLE ENDS.
SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all racing to IPO at the same time.
The market needs to come up with $200 BILLION in fresh capital to absorb them.
That money has to come from somewhere.
Large funds will start selling their biggest tech positions to free up cash.
NVIDIA, Microsoft, Google will be the first to get sold.
The problem is, those three names are carrying the entire S&P 500.
When they drop, everything drops.
This exact setup played out during the COVID-era IPO wave.
Rivian, Coinbase, Robinhood all went public at absurd valuations.
When the Fed tightened and liquidity disappeared, every single one crashed over 80%.
AI and tech are already stretched thin.
A $200B capital drain on top of that creates a forced liquidation event.
If you've been following me, you already caught the $16k bottom and the $126k top.
Missed those calls? The next one is coming.

🚨 SOMETHING VERY BAD IS HAPPENING The stock market keeps trying to push higher. OpenAI and Anthropic are now worth $2.1T. That is 10% of the entire Nasdaq. Look at the math: – $450B burned per year – $50B in actual revenue The entire AI bull case depends on one assumption: Inference gets cheaper. That is how funds justify the math. Spend massively today, scale later, margins explode when inference costs collapse. But that assumption is breaking: - Memory is getting expensive. - Compute is not getting cheap fast enough. - Inference is not falling the way everyone modeled. And if inference does not get dramatically cheaper, the whole AI margin story starts to crack. The loop is obvious: – Big players fund each other – Partnerships look perfect on paper – Revenue moves around inside the same system Everyone calls it growth. I call it the final stage of mania. In 2000, companies added “.com” to the name and valuations exploded: – Small profits – Massive valuations – Perfect stories Then reality hit. Nasdaq collapsed 80%. Now companies add “AI” to the name and reprice instantly: – Small profits – Massive valuations – Perfect AI stories This is the dot-com bubble with better AI branding. And bubbles do not warn you before they break. They break when everyone thinks the story is untouchable. The next move won’t wait for you. Follow and turn notifications on.

Have Americans always been THIS fucking stupid???

Brits are so poor they view 500 dollars to not die from heat stroke as something unaffordable and a luxury good

@NickFreiling My friends and I have had incredible luck buying used cars. Hondas, Volkswagens, Mazdas, Toyotas, even Kias (unbelievably). Most people who buy new don't also buy the cheap new car. They want the feature-rich crossover.
English
I think Dave Ramsey is wrong about cars.
There is no way to assuredly buy a "cheap and reliable" used car. You can gamble on one, but you can't be sure that's what you'll get.
It's smarter to buy new. It's *extremely* hard to save money without predictable monthly expenses.

@daikimengg The haughty arrogance and flawed reasoning is very European

I also think that the solution offered to "it's getting unbearably hot, in a way our infrastructure can't protect us from, bc of climate change" being "well, just use a Climate Destroyer 3000™, like we all do !" is, hum... Very american.

My observation as an American myself: Americans: Just install AC Europeans: Electricity is crazy expensive in our countries. Our electricity is some of the highest in the entire world. Americans: What does that have to do with AC?

@cumwhale927 No, because we don't live in backwards nations.

@CosmorphicHero @sosonosonosono There are plenty of interstates with no congestion. There are also stretches of interstate that don't have speed limits. You don't get out much, do you?
English
@sosonosonosono it’ll never not be incredibly funny how much americans tend to get hissy over 0-60 times and such and then you look at american highways and you’re never actually gonna be able to use that power anyways because Everywhere Is Congested Always (And We Don’t Have Autobahns)

With the summer driving season upon us don’t forget E15 could help drivers save 10-30 cents per gallon That could be around $300 per yr in savings at the pump for a family

@smonter42 @NEETzscheIDDQD Because you could by a 2012 Mercedes for cheaper with less miles.

Boomers want you to spend $6,000 on a 2006 Toyota Corolla while they lecture you about spending $28 on lunch.
LibertyJ@LibertyJen
This was legit a 5 second search on Auto Trader. All these cars have less than 200k miles. All under $7k
English
For every zoomertard whining and crashing out about $28 lunch, there is a zoomerchad career-maxxing, protein-maxxing, and frugal-maxxing. Listening to Dave Ramsey and Financial Audit. Have some hope for the youngins that are too busy living real, meaningful lives to counterbalance the subhuman complainers on this app.

What’s great about Gen Z is that not only can they not take a joke they also want to kill you over it. They’re the best.

Gen Z won’t even write a budget they just order a $28 burrito and look at you like this

"make your own bread zoomers"
Yeah let's go back to the 1800s before the invention of SLICED BREAD because BREAD is apparently a luxury item.
icpolicy@icpolicy
@MithrasSoldier Sure you can. 50lb flour - $20 for 45 loaves. That's 50 cents per loaf, or about 2c/slice 5 dozen eggs - $10. That's 16 cents per egg. Let's use 3. Mayo, mustard, etc - $3/jar, enough for a month. 50 cents for a deluxe egg salad sando better than restaurant quality

@CartallicaX1 @KnowingBetterYT Not disposable. Liability. Debt servicing.

@runthejuuls2 @KnowingBetterYT If I put Jordans on a credit card and pay it off eventually...
All of that was disposable income.

I went to Alamo Drafthouse last week.
The meal was $14.25.
The drink was $15.
That's why.

@PsalmWarfare 13-18% interest rates is probably part of why houses were so cheap.
English
Which one is more expensive?
1980s median price of a home
$60,000–$70,000 at 13–18% interest
2020s median price of a home
$400,000–$430,000 at 6–7% interest
English
@CartallicaX1 @KnowingBetterYT I would argue credit spending ≠ disposable income
English
@runthejuuls2 @KnowingBetterYT "Reckless" is a value judgement.
All unnecessary spending is disposable.
I think financing a new iPhone through your phone carrier is reckless, but literally everyone does it.
