3 daysDude scalper are a symptom too. I people weren’t wired for imefiat access to thing they wouldn’t exist. But hey you can get stuff in 24h, who wait a month or more for things in this society ?
I replace tortilla by “raclette” but that cultural.

6 dayshttps://cyberpost.co/which-consoles-were-loss-leaders/ Not only Sony that a common occurrence in the console world. I am not aware of it happening before on PC Without monopoly lawsuits. (To be precise I mean that a game/software front selling hardware at loss to trap users)

6 daysI see capitalism and a corpo is part of it so nothing surprising. Look like they have to pay for opensource if they judge that they have to get the opinion back. I use nexus, I never felt missing a steam mod. (I wasn’t aware of steamcmd though, that a good discovery)

6 daysCan’t be the exact cost of a drive, you have to market research to buy the best for the system. Then marketing etc. Cost are never just hardware for a corpo, but yeah in a dream world corpo should not be evil. If it is the same producer of disk I may be wrong, though one the part you pay for research of the best sdd.

6 daysI am, because I think every body have to get paid. And if you are considering corpo should give us money you don’t understand corpo well enough, even the nicest corpo is still a corpo. Can’t trust any company which isn’t a cooperative, I seen corpo change leader and destroy their strong points often enough . And another guy made a good argument that it would be considering building a monopoly. Game seller which build a machine cheaper than any conccurence which can easily run it’s store.

6 daysEmployee need to be paid to build it, ship it. You are asking them to sell at loss. But okey.

Technology@lemmy.world•Valve Says The Companies Making RAM Give Them A Price And If They Say No, They ‘Never Talk To Us Again’English
6 daysNo need, others vountries ram are emerging. Hope they start to get to techno. Even better if they copied it from US. I think they are at reliable ddr4, testing ddr5.



Yeah well done you pointed to one of the parasitics classes. There are much. I never bought from a scalper but they clearly don’t sell to us. This system is fucked. Once th first billionaires spawned it was too late.
