How convenient this decision was supposedly made prior to the decision to unionize and is related to only financial issues.

I bet they are always discussing what studios to cut or downsize in case of “economic downturns” or “failing to meet quarterly projections” so they can’t be accused of union-busting or retaliation.

I think we need to learn more about the union movement in Canada and US. People fought and died over these rights. Companies and governments forgot unions were the agreement we made to not drag their asses out in the streets and beat their asses.

It would be good for those in power to remember this compromise, because we are getting ripe for another wave of work reform.

It does feels like we are all riding together on a burning chariot of doom to hell.

Edit: re-worded so it actually makes sense.

The idea sounds like GameSpy back in the day for multiplayer games.

“… And you can spin up your own with blackjack and hookers!”

Let’s Goooooooooooooo!

The article states that the rumor would be Asus gets production lines up and running by end of Q2 of 2026 (typically that would be end of June for most companies).

They do have experience in manufacturing already and RAM isn’t as difficult to produce as say 14nm cpus.

I do think it’s an ambitious timeline though if the rumor is to be believed. The article does say to take it with a grain of salt.

After Gamer Nexus did their excellent piece on Asus and their frustrating RMA process I am wary of hardware from Asus, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Especially after Micron’s decision to pull from the consumer RAM market. We need companies to step up to the plate.

Thanks for the heads up. Good to know it’s a bad faith actor behind the account.

I like to believe all the baby penguins dropped off the cliff in Mario 64 are the reason the penguins in the Madagascar movie have a military air about them.

They were the special ops team trained to take down the mustached maniac menace before getting captured enroute to the LZ.

How I know you didn’t read the article or your reading comprehension is abysmal:

"DOGE failed to cut spending because most federal spending was for entitlement programs, where spending remains high due to structural reasons and policy autopilot,” CATO’s analysis continued. “Congress alone has the authority to cut these programs, so it’s unsurprising that DOGE did not reduce spending.”

The article doesn’t say DOGE is the cause of the increase of spending. It states that the purpose of DOGE was to reduce waste and cut spending, but federal government spending has gone up in 2025 from 2024.

This article is stating the obvious, to those who didn’t buy the lies Trump and Musk were selling, but backed up the assertion with financial data.

So the “nuh-uh you!” Legal approach?

The answer is yes.

Evangelicals, especially those that believe in the rapture/tribulation, believe that the temple of Solomon has to be rebuilt in order for Christ to come back and establish his 1000 years of peace on earth. They also conflate that modern day Israel is tied to the ancient biblical Israel.

Does this sound batshit crazy? Yes, but this is something I grew up with in a devote evangelicals house and heard repeatedly at various churches (of the same denomination mind you).

Oh and the temple? It needs to be rebuilt in the original location which is where The Dome of the Rock is…

TIL they are decentralized and that does make keeping them offline harder, but does make issues like honeypots and malicious mirrors more likely as sites come and go.

Ya this is sure the beginning of the end for them. They aren’t an “AI” company so the full force of the government will come after them now that they have been named in a mainstream publication.

I have to correct you on your last point. It’s only because he gives away things to poor people and not just rich people that makes him a filthy socialist.

If Santa was handing out tax breaks and children to the elite, they’d put him in the Whitehouse instead of trump.

When you can’t comprehend that jury nullification is a by product of our judicial system. It can be used for bad or good - see lynchings of the jim crow era vs those helping slaves escape.

This prick is the embodiment of the fascist belief that the law has in groups that it does not bind but protects and our groups that bind but do not protect.
