Forums need to come back, I die a little inside whenever I see a Discord server linked for support. Ugh.

Always the case with public information, everything is scraped. Anyone can join a public discord server, so anyone can see every message posted there. The real crime is the lack of encryption in private messages.

In my experience, every item from the same warehouse comes packaged together. Are you sure the items are sourced from the same warehouse, because they aren't going to unpack them and pack them together again when they reach the final distribution location. Perhaps it becomes super inefficient to pack items together in super large warehouses, where the items are sourced far apart from each other?

Discord users are being tracked by Discord anyway.

These days maybe, but disruptive ads started way before subscriptions became a thing.

Sounds great in theory, but won't happen. The internet is too consolidated now for the majority of people to give a shit, there's people buying YouTube Premium because of all this. Look at reddit, barely a dent in it after all the fiascos, twitter is holding on too. People don't care.

I was happy with an ad at the side of the video. Then they started popping up over my video, then they started appearing before my video, then they started appearing throughout my video. Companies shot themselves in the foot with online advertising, banner ads and such weren't much of a problem, but once ads start disrupting the content we visit a site for, then we look to block them ads. More people blocking ads is less revenue, so they make the ads more aggressive... and the cycle continues.

And on a side note, Linus can fuck off.

Yeah you are not wrong, but why have a more expensive chip just to throttle it, better to keep the cost of the deck down so more people can afford it.

It depends on efficiency, it's all good and well having more performance, but if the battery life is only 2 hours it's useless. I imagine Valve will wait a couple years yet.
