Though i generally agree that libertarians are just asshole anarchists with money, I think Louis's stance is fairly moderate and fairly well considered. I don't fully agree with him, but he's not far enough away that i wouldn't enjoy sitting down for a beer with him. You're getting down voted because none of that has anything to do with right to repair nor the kleptocract takeover that's been happening in the US.

It's more than that. Technology advances on a sigmoid curve until there's an entirely new breakthrough and we're at the low-growth end of that curve after going through the high-growth.
Now, it's much more static mature market with mere incremental changes. And while it may be a shock to the tech-manufactures, in these mature-technology markets sales will fluctuate with far more with the economy instead of the tech-driven replace rate that we went through during the 90s and 00s.
And I'm a great example of it. From 1988 through about 2008 I had to replace/upgrade my work and personal computers every two years to keep up with the changes in programs that got more powerful (or just bloated) to take advantage of all the power increases.
Now I get a new computer every 7 years on average. I got my first i7-based computer in 2009. I'm now on my third i-7 that I bought just 3 months ago. That's about 7-years a PC now. Not two.

I moved because it took a year and a half of arguing back and forth to convince a tax collector I did not owe them twice my entire net worth and wasted almost 50k on a CPA and tax attorney to do so. I prefer living places that understand their own laws. Don't know where you got disagreeing with liberals or libertarianism or any of that braindead nonsense from.

Louis Rossman predicted that revision was written by big tech. I think they should investigate the governor for corruption (and I am a liberal). One of her very first acts on taking office was to have revise the bill. Which considering most governors want to take big swings on their first days in office, screams of her having debts to pay for her victory.

You didn't fuck up, dude. The game is rigged, and the gov no longer works for the people. We all appreciate the huge effort you put in, and I don't think any of us hold you responsible. Much love.

Hochul is a conservative corporate pawn claiming to be a democrat. Just look at what she did to get the new Buffalo Bills stadium built. She completely screwed the Seneca Nation and fortified her Husband’s company’s exclusive contract while selling out the fans and forcing NY into debt to spare her millionaire friends a few bucks. When are the NY Dems going to pull their heads from their asses and put up a viable candidate that actually cares about the citizens instead of corporations? And don’t even try to advocate for Zeldin.

Lobbying, or as other countries usually call it "corruption and bribery"

Why the downvotes? My Ayaneo beats the steam deck in every category. Yes it’s more expensive, but you get what you pay for. Also, Steam deck can’t play all steam games, hilariously.

But Canada is also an independent country. They defer to the crown but unlike the United Kingdoms they aren't ruled by British law

Well it’s not like they gave up Canada ? They still had territory in the region. Arguably they have the strongest claim.

Did England not give up their claim in recognizing America as an independent county then

Well when you sell the land, I’d argue you sell any claim to it as well ?

England has a stronger claim to the land that was bought/won from and originally claimed by other European powers? They are further removed than their counter parts even with the argument America is a former British colony

The opposite.
I'm a multi platform gamer, got PC 4K, PS5 and NS.
Edit:
But ps4 on release we underpowered to those today's PCs.
A year before release I already had 4770K, GTX770 and 750GB of SSD storage.
Which was faster in everything by margin of twice and loading times were faster by margin of 5x.
I agree though PS5 been massive leap and positive outcome. It aged way way better than any consoles before it in terms of performance and features (PSVR2, VRR, HDR (HGIG), AI adaptive resolution).

So the chiefs can just keep foreign aid payments instead of government grants while their people go without food and water…

Your comments makes no sense.
They can re use their case and psu and that is normal. If they are changing mobo and cpu anyway, then it's one job.
If you upgrade your GPU, cpu+mobo+ram, it's not like you have to rebuy psu and case every time.

Lobbyists are scum. Throw money at politics to get control over them.
