About right for the man who had to be told he couldn't nuke a hurricane.

"Stealing"

Much of the budget is megabucks wages for the stars and director and then enormous amounts on "distribution" aka adverts.

They've apparently got like $6 billion in cash reserves so they can afford the odd stinker.

Those losses won't be real losses, because they'll just pay everyone less on the next movie. They'll be tax man losses. We haven't made any money, oh poor us...

Yeah, that too.

The precious "free markets" have had their crack at it, and have shown that they're not to be trusted to either own or build them. Prices have soared and that's 100% intentional on their part.

I just use an Nvidia Shield Pro. Runs all the streaming stuff, plus Jellyfin client. Use Jellyfin server on the PC.

You can still stream games and the desktop to it (sunshine on pc and moonlight on the shield), but they'll need mouse keyboard controller etc to be useful.

Unsure if rubbish, or review bombed by people who just wanted to see the Joker murdering people for two hours and instead got some weird shit they didn't understand.

Neither choice is great. One is evil.

That 25k quickly becomes "oh, everyone had 25k more so we can charge 25k more".

Don't give rich house builders tax breaks, they're the ones causing the problem by deliberately not building enough. You're the fucking government. Build houses yourselves. Rent them through social housing programs.

I'm down with the cob.

I'm down with the cheese.

But who the fuck eats that amount of raw onion in one sitting?

It's a cob round here. You can take your rolls down south where they belong.

The danger here is that they make "open" standards so horrendously complex and ever evolving that only the billionaire mega corporations can can realistically keep up with them.

See the web where Google now control it completely by having such an enormous amount of code that even Microsoft couldn't be arsed to keep up, or Office Open XML, where 100% compatibility is limited to exactly one product: The one that made it. I just downloaded the documentation for the standard. It is over 5000 fucking pages long. That was part 1 of 4.

Who doesn't enjoy a nice pair of flares/jeans with the bottom all frayed where you've walked on it, and wet up to your knees because that's the reality of weather.

So do most of mine. Makes maintaining data integrity a lot simpler and it's how my database replication tools work.

GDPR was the only time I bothered to delete the data, and even then it was me setting the content of the records to "Information removed due to GDPR".

Being able to undelete data is a powerful customer service tool, and when Grandma's Facebook account gets hacked (because her password is one of her grandkid's names), and all the photos get nuked (and being grandma, Facebook is their photo backup solution), they're probably going to want that all that restoring again.

But then if data privacy was important to you, you wouldn't have put it on Threads.
