That's only massive companies. There aren't that many of them. $500/month from a couple hundred big enterprise clients won't pay the bills.
You need medium sized businesses to pay to use it.
And even massive companies won't pay $500/month when you completely remove the userbase by making it impossible to use without paying. $5/year would remove 99% of the userbase overnight.
Companies are only willing to pay for enterprise features if you have users (and the features are meaningfully above and beyond what they can do on a free account).
Users aren't willing to pay jack shit for social media and there's no path to forcing people to pay for it that can possibly work.
My biggest one was games, and proton has come a long way to mitigating that.
At this point the limit is pretty much malware anticheat shit and I'm basically done with those games. I tried jumping through the hoops to play Madden, with a separate Windows install and everything, but it still didn't work, so I'm just done.
Nope.
Nope Nope Nope.
Glad I've already basically managed to ditch that nonsense.
They're proud of "withered technology" as a philosophy.
My point is that even if they changed, it doesn't matter. The fact that it's nvidia means that it can't get close on real world performance with anything that uses the CPU meaningfully. Even if they did match graphics benchmarks for some reason, it would be way off from actually playing most current gen games at a reasonable level.
Yeah, I could see Steam, or the App/Play stores. 30% is a meaningful split, but it could be a reasonable layer of isolation in exchange. But Spotify?
Changing an ISP is very rarely an option. That's why they pull the shit to begin with.
lol they're not even willing to stake the million dollar prize they definitely won't have to pay with a lump sum payment. It's actually 50k x 20 years.
The biggest barrier is that Nvidia has shown no capability to make a CPU that isn't unconditional dogshit for gaming, and the CPU is the Switch's problem.
The only company that's made an ARM CPU remotely interesting is Apple.
There's also the possibility that they're the only service out there that doesn't let you control playback speed. Or that they take the most restrictive of playback speed and length of book so people who listen at slowed down speed are screwed too
By using a completely different tool. LLMs are fine for sentence structure, but they aren't intelligent. There is no capacity to distinguish fact from fiction, or to form an underlying model of reality to draw answers from.
Not necessarily?
It's entirely possible to build large and scalable applications from the ground up, and it can even be more efficient to do so. What frameworks do is abstract away a lot of the complexity.
If you genuinely understand what you're doing, frameworks aren't magic. You can implement anything they do yourself. I think it's kind of hard to genuinely understand what you're doing for something at scale without experience with a few different frameworks and how they approach large scale problems, though.
