I’d be surprised if this isn’t already happening or at the very least being tested on a smaller scale.

I’m in the US and we have 25 gig fiber

Edit: I should have clarified it’s an option. No it’s not affordable. However 2.5 gig is fairly reasonable @ 99 usd/month. We pay for the 1 gig which is 67.99.

Anecdote:

I was recently browsing an auto listing app for a used EV as I’m thinking about switching to an EV from my ICE hatchback, and the market near me is absolutely flooded with Teslas, primary model 3s. And it’s not just “old” ones either. Tons of 2020-2024 models as well.

Your scenario sounds like mine. Don’t game much anymore and definitely don’t play triple A crap that requires kernel.level anti cheat. Been on bazzite for about 6 mos and everything has been great. So much better than Windows.

Damn. Not even peeling them is extra devious.

Nope

I keep seeing this take and I don’t really get it. Kudos to getting in the ring with someone and getting a massive ~50-100 million payout?

Would you say kudos to me for doing the same? Because I’d get knocked tf out any day for that kind of money.

This is a tried and true unpopular post here… So I’ll post it again.

Aka trolling.

Consumer electronics / appliances?

We had the same thought with our cats and ended up with five. Then we realized that if you’re unlucky it can get really unsustainable really quickly. For example if you have one cat and it develops 3 problems you have 3 problems to deal with. Five cats and each develop 3 problems…yeah you now have 15 problems to keep up with (vet bills, messed to clean up, fights to break up etc etc.).

I can’t imagine juggling six kids. Props to you all for being able to keep up with that.
