    Right. It's even going the wrong way vs the Euro and the Euro sucks: Basically, the Yen is fucked and Big P doesn't know what he's talking about. The dollar is doing awesome, which is why you should be buying as much equities as possible even as the market continues to tank.

    Out of 3 XPG drives I've bought, 2 have been DOA. The one I have won't take a firmware update. The firmware updater for my 2 Sabrent drives doesn't work because that company is fucked too. I could hack a bunch of bullshit to make it work, but I'd rather just have something out of the box that...

    But it doesn't have to, that's what I'm saying. They both offer unique solutions. I'm a solution architect working for a company that's a platinum or gold partner for both. Google doesn't really have 'products.' They have APIs, and generic compute. It's hard to explain without getting in...

    Google really doesn't have a lot of 'productized' cloud offerings, which is likely why they're having trouble. MSFT and AMZN have amazing offerings and entire apparatus for helping companies uplift or refactor.

    I blame the people making alters, and the fact that alters weren't banned immediately.

    AMZN earnings tomorrow... possibly a great opportunity for a trade, or a great opportunity for a blowout. As an AWS certified solutions architect working for a third party, my opinion is that things are looking good for cloud sales across their offerings... but who really fucking knows.

    I will never buy these shitty brands anymore. I've got 3 different drives in my PC right now where I can't update their firmware because these companies suck ass at software. It's not worth saving the 10 bucks.

    Damn, Microsoft's huge overperformance in Azure made Google's modest underperformance in cloud hit a lot harder.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I realize the joke you're trying to make, but I think you've got it backwards. Trying to force a Single Player game and a Massively Multiplayer-ish game to keep entirely consistent codebases seems unmaintainable.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Somewhat irrelevant because the Persistent Universe Alpha is likely a whole separate fork from Squadron 42 at this point.

    If SQ42 ends up being half as good as Cyberpunk, it'll still be 10x better than Loadingfield.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    So 2 years until release, then 3 more years until it's actually good like what happened with Cyberpunk? Maybe by then, GPUs will exist that can run this at 40 fps.

    Makes me think OEF might be worth dumping some money into. If we're assuming the next recession + AI is going to lead to a winner-take-all economy, then betting predominantly on the winners winning is a good move. https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239723/ishares-sp-100-etf

    It's more expensive but there will be more cards per booster potentially worth money. It seems like a relatively good compromise to keep packs interesting and yet still playable in draft. Booster prices have not gone up in a long time. I'd be interested to see how much the per-box price...
