Yes, as the Federal Government does as well when it comes to emissions laws

Trucks. The only car Ford makes any more is the Mustang.

Is it garlic NaN?

Nah. Meta needs something to grow.

Right now, they are sitting on social media platforms that can’t see meaningful growth and a messaging platform near the same. Nothing that Meta has tried to create after either defends their existing revenue streams from dying or creates a new revenue stream.

Without significant change, Meta is a decade away from being another AOL.

Did your mom teach you? Because she’s really talented.

See Microsoft and Adobe.

Except Microsoft and Adobe never bankrupted a company by getting adopted. It was a tax that companies could afford since they were still rounding errors compared to labor.

If the adoption of a tech can be measured as being roughly equal to higher than the labor expense of a company, that decision isn’t going to be dictated by what Susan in HR knows.

How is he doing that with his mouth?

They are probably only sending the bare minimum to make Trump happy. They don’t want to sell American made cars and trucks in Japan, so they are doing it badly.

Or make two episodes where they are in the same setting, but are doing two different things. They can cross paths, but they shouldn’t interact.

Or maybe not. Star Trek lore is messy enough.

They put it together and guarantees that it works. Valve also now has a tech stack in case their presence on Windows is threatened.

Valve is perfectly happy if you build your own machine and install SteamOS on it.

If PC game sales are cannibalizing PS sales, then there is a higher cost to creating and selling a PC port than just porting the game.

And don’t be surprised when corporations stop producing for a platform when it no longer makes them money.

This could be them being smart about it. Compared to various Xbox models, the PlayStation models were generally custom designed to a specific set of hardware and software criteria that aren’t fully mirrored on Windows PC. It is a non-zero cost to convert and support.

There may be some individual success, but the aggregate may be a money losing proposition. At that point, why support a market that is only costing them money?

Corporate execs may not know what fun is, but they know what makes money. Right now, everything in the computer gaming market points to new games being more expensive than what the market will bear.

They probably see the PC market as too competitive to compete in and want to invest in technology which makes new games cheaper to make. So, Sony will abandon a market it can’t make money in and will invest in a technology which can hopefully churn out assets for their new games, which will lower development costs.

Steam’s records show that an overwhelming majority of playing time is going to older games. The market may not be large enough for Sony to care.

If it? What’s the market for new games on PC?

What is Meta even building any more?

This was standard operating procedure for Silicon Valley companies before COVID.

Patrick H Wiilems had an interesting video essay recently about the death of music videos, since there was a major pipeline from being a music video director to being a movie director.

This may be the first year where Hollywood starts treating YouTube video makers as a substitute pipeline for finding new talent.

Reading the article, it appears that Zuckerberg is trying to get his staff back operating like they are a startup with events like a hackathon. That his staff are no longer participating is indicating that they aren’t treating Meta like a startup any more.

It isn’t that Zuckerberg wants his staff to act like they are having fun, but to get back into a startup mentality where they will hopefully over perform and are instead treating it as a job where there isn’t an incentive to work harder.
