Oh yeah, definitely this. The economics will probably never allow it to be deployed at a scale where it will make any sort of difference.

Instead, it is used as an excuse to not take any action on climate change which is actually realistic, albeit hard.

Yup.

Sure, the long term productivity and quality takes a nosedive, but the shareholders don’t care about that as long as the numbers for the next quarter look better.

Personally, I was fine with paying for “Premium Lite”, which was reasonably priced, removed ads, and gave channels you watched some revenue.

But youtube removed this subscription tier a few weeks ago, leaving only the twice as expensive “Premium”. Since I, and I assume most others who subscribed to “Premium Lite”, has no use for the other stuff included in the more expensive tier the cost is no longer justified for me. Back to finding increasingly exotic ways of getting around their ads I guess.

Man I just want to actually be able to buy a Pi 4 at non-scalper rates.

Yeah, wow, this is really great if it’s accurate enough.

Great news, I really like the recent Zenfones so it’d feel bad if it goes away. Not many great near-stock options at that combination of size/price/features.

The last two zenfones both have headphone jacks and were reasonably priced given their hardware, so I’m not sure what this is referencing.

Runs perfect on newest GE proton in steam. Not having to mess around with lutris anymore is great.
