If you get knocked and then subsequently die, your teammates can pick your banner up from your deathbox and then respawn you at a beacon. A drop ship comes and you jump out of it with minimal gear.

If you have a support legend in your team, these banners can also be crafted in a “replicator”, since picking the banner up is not always feasible

Quick correction, the Pi5 is the new one

A lot of the money is probably sunk into ecological surveys, permits, bureaucracy overall

Buried highways would be insanely expensive, and in the case of invasion, one well placed shot would completely kill logistics for the defenders as much as it would for the invaders, so probably not the best idea to rely on those

They’re a public company, they’re required by law to share financial info.

Do you perhaps have better data though?

Farmers would disagree

Love it

You can’t just say that and leave come on

What about a CDN for JS libraries?

What about YouTube embeds?

What about images from Imgur?

Why should all of this be handled by me, on my domain?

So how is this related?

So you’re saying they might not need a new engine and all they have to do is rewrite half of the old one?

He might’ve borrowed them from a library.

OpenAI could’ve trained on borrowed ebooks as well

lmao you’re so wrong on ads being more profitable than premium, especially on a per-user basis

According to this you can expect to make around $18/1000 views. That’s with 55% going to the creator and 45% to Google. Which means that Google makes around $14.5 per 1000 views.

Coincidentally, that’s also rougly the price of YouTube Premium. Are you telling me that you watch a thousand videos per month?

They might be allowing them to run the boxes for free, but the ISPs are saving money on bandwidth, too.

Get enough users for the ISP to care and they’ll work with you. Otherwise, you probably don’t have all that many users to begin with, so the overhead that maintaining and distributing these boxes would create wouldn’t be worth it anyway.

Ah yeah they do forget, after a decade or two.

You’re not going to jail for non-payment.

If you have stronger credit and want to leave anyway, I think it’d be dumb not to take advantage of it.

Won’t work, can’t work.

There are companies which have insane revenues but tiny profits - let’s say manufacturing, where you need to pay a shitton for materials and workers, just to get a bit in return.

There are also companies where the main source of income is selling people’s time, say a consulting firm like McKinsey. Their income/revenue ratio is gonna be totally different from the first example.

I’m sure there are good ways to do it but this ain’t one of them.

That’s literally it though

Wouldn’t fit very well into something like a smartphone though

I’ve heard that Baldur’s Gate 3 was a massively successful launchday title, though it’s not my cup of coffee.

There are still good games around, just unfortunately not the majority of them
