Really same reason all these companies making dramatic changes. Rips the bandaid off and lets them roll back to what they actually wanted while looking like they listen. Some are executed better than others. See Deltas medallion change for another example.

It’d be fun to mess around with if it wasn’t 12-18k for the setup.

This is actually ewaste. The normal pencils have been on sale fairly often for 99 bucks and the price difference isn’t really enough so all they’re doing is making trash in an attempt to lure people into paying the small amount more for the better version.

It’s weird calling for one mega corp to be split up while supporting another mega corp that owns more than the first. Everyone needs a reality check if they think any mega corp doesn’t want the same thing.

It’s a little different as Spotify/apple/etc don’t produce music and are not trying to out license each other. Really good thing you don’t have to sub to half a dozen music services.

Sim games. Not THE sims but like SimTower, SimAnt, etc. There's been some attempts over the years but everyones missed the mark.

Microsoft is a 2.6T dollar company…

Besides the mentioned hating on NY, during last two elections he supported trump and republicans, bashed democrats and just leaned into that that whole saying something conspiracy related by saying “I dunno” which has been an almost dog whistle of support while trying to act open minded. I don’t believe he’s republican but his move to Texas and being anti government kinda points him in a certain direction.

Obviously that’s all fine of him to have those views. I just don’t like hearing it during a board repair or right to repair video.

Everyone loves him but essentially the same reason I can’t watch/listen to Louis Rossmann. I support the right to repair cause but his other views go way off.

Might be too close to the bed

Unfortunately probably a lot of CEOs realizing they can make drastic cost cutting and policy moves and get away with it. And sadly looks like it’s working.

Thanks for setting this up, looks like there's an issue with the profile pic upload, returns a 400
