As someone who works in the telecommunications industry, look up RDOF.

Not only is it a HUGE timeline that does nothing to incentivize actually completing a project early, but the main RDOF winner in my area has only wireless service available with zero construction projects planned except to put up more wireless equipment.

It also means those areas that company claims they’ll serve one day are ineligible for any more grant money and now that companies that are willing to bring fiber to those homes have to pay a boatload out of pocket while the RDOF winner just hangs out and watches.

I own three houses and rent out two others thanks to my $1200 stimulus check.

The bottom line is and always will be in almost any industry some variation of “we already set up hardware that was developed solely to use this ancient thing that’s a standard. Once this new thing becomes industry standard, then we’ll switch.” With the big issue there being, the industry standard will never change until somebody makes the first change and nobody wants to risk the amount of money it would cost to switch.

If by “goof thing” you mean a bunch of gun-nut goofballs are trying to undermine democracy and succeeding, then I agree.

Did you just use algebra to try to explain a question about personality traits?

Valve is one of the few companies that I would believe could actually be doing this for the betterment of everyone and not to just Microsoft a competitor to death.

So the problem with thin margins on the hardware side is what’s stopping a user from just installing their own OS once they figure out they can do the same thing you’re doing on the same hardware?

I mean, if you’re making a conscious effort to read that totally wrong…. yeah, that’s what it says.

Got the same thing. Don’t even see it in TestFlight anymore.

Definitely think bringing on someone who “sounds like Chester” would have been a big mistake and seen (probably rightly) as a cash grab by many people. I like the idea of this being a continuation and not a replacement.
