Louisiana has been doing this for decades. It's the same old story of large corporations getting massive tax breaks while little guys gets screwed over.

This could be the first sign of AI bubble bursting.

No I'm not suggesting that he throw away perfectly good materials. I disagree that he put a lot of effort into really trying. There was little to no follow up after discovering the parts weren't from US. There was no attempt to contact the American chain mail supplier about limited capacity. Why is it that they can only supply so little amount? What would it take to increase capacity? Is it lack of people, machinery or investment? We don't know because it wasn't in the video. Same thing with the knobs that came from Costa Rica. There was no follow up. He didn't even try to source knobs made locally. He just said he will later. He started out the video sounding like he was determined to figure out a way to complete the task of trying to make a product made locally but he kinda just gave up and decided to just ship the product as is. The video was suppose to be an education focused but it slowly turned into a marketing video. I find that disappointing.

There are six components to this grill scrubber and at least two are from foreign source. The chain mail is from China and the top knob is from Costa Rica. He also said the handle string is of unknown source. I'm bit disappointed that he just slapped a Made in USA label on it and called it good. For 75 dollars I expect a bit better.

I wish Destine broke down the cost of every component of the scrubber and how he ended up with the $75 price tag at the end. He did that with the chain mail but didn't discuss the cost associated with any other part of the process. That leads me to believe this video was more leaning towards making money rather actually trying to get to the bottom of problem with manufacturing a product in the US. Sadly I'm left disappointed.

This is fourth time a confirmed plagiarism occurred at Bungie in recent years. There is also an ongoing lawsuit over accusation of Red War story theft. This isn't some lone rogue employee issue. It's a company culture issue originating from the top. I think Sony needs to step in and clean house to address the systemic problem.

Looks like GOG servers are struggling at the moment. Claiming the game isn't working right now.

Gaming market as a whole seems to be going through a correction of sort and this is the time when Nintendo decides to raise the price? Good luck with that Nintendo.

I along with just about everyone here probably has a massive back catalogue of games on Steam to ride out whatever is currently happening in the gaming industry. Maybe I’ll just chill over by the corner and watch the gaming market craters itself into the ground.

Which tech company would buy Chrome from Google? I just can't think of a single tech company that could be an improvement over Google owning Chrome.

• Amazon

• Apple

• Meta

• Microsoft

• Oracle

What about media companies? I don't see consumers benefiting from this.

• Comcast

• Disney

• Netflix

• Viacom

What about telecom? I still don't see consumers benefiting from this.

• AT&T

• T-Mobile

• Verizon

What about foreign companies? Will they be even allowed to buy Chrome? I'm not sure.

• LG

• Philips

• Samsung

• Sony

The more I think about it, this won't end well.

Here is a guy explaining the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8

It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I'll be sure there is a large distance between my car and one of these shitty trucks on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.

From what I've heard this game is very CPU demanding title. To get a decent performance you have to be on platform with DDR5 and lots of CPU cores. Also game very much recommends RTX 4000 series or better with frame gen turned on. If you are trying to run the game on RTX 3000 series card, you should turn on FSR frame gen. I suppose one can argue that game is not very well optimized and therefore it needs all that much hardware to run well and you're not entirely wrong there. I think devs were too ambitious with all the graphical bells and whistles and found themselves in this situation.

Personally I don't want to see a trend where games are only playable with frame gen turned on. We already have a situation where many games are blurry and have artifacts all over the place. I don't want annoying lag added on top of what's already a mess.

Damn this sucks. This game was pretty decent in the beginning. I had fun leveling couple different weapons. I bailed when they reworked the progression system to be more confusing and less rewarding. I've been meaning to check it out for nostalgia sake even though recent rework got a horrific reviews and now I don't even have to bother. RIP

GrayJay is an app associated with Louis Rossmann and lot of people seems to like him and therefore has gotten lot of traction lately but there is something you should know. This app is not open source even though source may be available. The app is not licensed in any existing open source license such as GPL, BSD, or MIT, etc. The source license is basically does not allow freedom of redistribution of modified code so therefore it fails the minimal definition of open source. Louis Rossmann has gone on the record on video saying he will sue people if someone were to do something with code he does not approve of whatever that means. Number of people have tried to tell him not to call GrayJay an open source app but he simply ignored them. It's pretty clear he is now just calling this app open source for marketing purposes which I think is misleading and deceptive.

If you want to buy the app because you find it useful and you don't care about open source, that's perfectly fine. However if you believe that supporting an open source ecosystem is part of the reason for supporting GrayJay, then you should know what's really happening here.

EDIT: I did some digging and it appears Louis Rossmann has stopped referring GrayJay as open source app. I tried searching for his original GrayJay announcement video and it appears it's gone. I guess enough people have pestered him about his misconception of open source so he removed all mention of open source. GrayJay does have a source code available and it comes with LICENSE. Good on him to clarify the situation. Just for clarification, it is clearly not open source because of non-commercial limitation. This license is not compatible with open source so using any portion in your open source project is not allowed. The limitation is so broad that it's probably best to just stay far away from it to be safe.
