“The orange cornflour we used to create an eye-catching spectacle will soon wash away with the rain..."

Just like the Mona Lisa incident - they aren't doing irreparable harm to the monument. It definitely gets the discussion going, which feels like their ultimate goal.

Yep! With Steam Deck pushing more native game support, I hope we see more users get used to the Linux environment and increase the demand on the PC side for better support across all applications.

Another reason is that you are virtually guaranteed to find any application you need that supports Windows.

With options trading, a lot of stock movement is reflective of speculation rather than true value.

The game console industry proved this was a viable business plan a couple of decades ago.

They probably realized it's not profitable because 90% of a user's visits are home, work, store... wash rinse repeat day in and day out. They can probably get more meaningful data from the person through their other various tracking methods.

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?

Just a reminder to everyone that it's fun to hope it's aliens, but Occam's Razor suggests it isn't and the real answer is likely something naturally occurring.

That's the point though, right? It's all publicity. They don't want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

a couple of owners decided to race their trucks

in this rather unscientific race

Did you even read the article? The author was very upfront about the context.

You're the type of person that wants everyone to min/max everything and say "yeah but if this had happened" or "if they had done this differently"

Get down off your soapbox and appreciate this for what it was: two owners having a fun race for bragging rights. And if Ford comes out in a better light from it than Tesla, that's not circle jerking over a brand, it's just another anecdote to pile on top of all of the other stories about how piss poor the Cybertruck is at being an actual truck.
