With the trend of things, this seems like good timing for the RHCP estates with a not so unlikely collapse of licensing revenue happening in the near future.

This is one of the reasons we can't have proper soundtracks in video games or non AAA TV shows anymore or re-releases of old TV-shows anymore.

I just feel bad for all the pension fonds backing this Bain Capital PE joint venture who will have an off chance of making back their investments with the current state of IP and AI trends.

But killing a service is something completely different then discontinueing hardware or interface standards. A lot here is still well supported.

This page could have used some heavy editing after asking the LLM to compile all stuff from wikipedia.

Lost it at the Lightning listing, which apple still first party even:

We're at 2021 prices, but ok.

Nobody is stopping anyone from buying a USB-C powered and connected very portable 2 or 4 slot external NVMe enclosures.

The old SATA SSD form factor is dead and wont come back.

OWC ThunderBlades exist, but 32TB will set you back 9 grand.

You should be able to assemble something with USB-C for under 5k. That's not a mass consumer market thing, but perfectly doable, if your use case warrants it. We are stuck with 2021 pricing, but now with options of 8TB per NVMe drive at way higher speed.

36TB+ HHD external WD drive combos were always around EUR 1000 over last 5 years. With a short low end around EUR 600 in 2023

You were not are renter in 2021 when NVMe were same price as now by TB, stuff is just becoming more expensive on market shortages.

Last half year ate up three to four years of earlier price regression, that's about it.

As long as this plateaus here, as prices did for last 4 months, that's just the new equilibrium where it has the chance to get better again, would no be all doom and gloom about personal computing yet.

Meta ended its contract with Sama

At this scale, this sound like some insider joke contract made up only to make some hustle on the side capitalizing with stock options on the possibility of adhoc news trading bots glitching out on the keyword, here "x.com/sama" signals.

Even if nothing substantial come out of this, having shortest paths to the corpus of all human expressions in all languages! and media formats is quite something by itself, what could be the ultimate hard information retrieval tool is hiding those trace behind untracked convolutions is the real shame here. Found so much real information in between less and less hallucinations already that was impossible to retrieve otherwise in that time frame. Basically tokenrank kills pagerank.

Like the price point and portability of the base Treedix testers.

Talking about near perfect wishlist:

Some standard hardware with fail-safe power connections a set of fully wired ports like in display-less Treedix USB platine tester version.

On the other side powered and extended diagnostics through USB-C can then be done from any smartphone or pc providing the display and updateable extended software layer.

Bonus for connectivity to some brother label printers.

Can you do basic math on the number of support tickets Valve is handling to answer that question for yourself?

Strava tracks can also be spoofed and you have no guarantee for them to appear on a schedule either. I just find this to be on the sensationalist side of "data" journalism lacking any sort of contextualization or threat level assessment. Unless there was evidence of some more sensitive locations that have not been published along this story, it looks like some serious unserious case of journalism to me.
