"Microsoft “invests” in Openai by giving the company free access to its servers. Openai reports this as a ten billion dollar investment, then redeems these “tokens” at Microsoft’s data-centers. Microsoft then books this as ten billion in revenue.

That’s par for the course in AI, where it’s normal for Nvidia to “invest” tens of billions in a data-center company, which then spends that investment buying Nvidia chips. It’s the same chunk of money is being energetically passed back and forth between these closely related companies, all of which claim it as investment, as an asset, or as revenue (or all three)."

they tried to make it with swappable RAM and it turned out to be impossible from a physics perspective

Not true. They could make it but with reduced memory bandwidth. They chose not to do it anyway.

It’s not repairable or upgradable, save for the SSD and power supply.

The author points out that Framework’s mission is to encourage right to repair and responsible consumption by discouraging planned obsolescence.

They’ve already abandoned this with the Framework desktop.

Please, I’m begging you to just explain what you’re trying to say instead of exclusively being a giant fucking asshole for no reason at all. They’re the one who read my comments and somehow thought I was in need of an explanation of why tariffs are bad instead of an explanation of the joke.

This is not a tabletop game, it’s a card game.

It seems very unlikely that no one in the entirety of the US has the capacity to make a card game. Do you have some evidence of this?

Nobody asked why tariffs are bad.

Ok this Fediverse experiment has been fun but it turns out you guys are assholes just like everywhere else. Byebye now.

LOL the useless metrics that you brought up? Ok. Bye bye now.

I promise I’ve been here longer than you.

I don’t get it

What? Which meme?

Instead of trying to exploit loopholes, why not just produce them in the US? It’s just cardstock.

Did you mean Xitler?

I guess she is responsible for this

Correct

It is a problem.
