They bought a game and now cannot play it. Classic breach of contract and expected product that was paid for.

It's not marketing if people are searching hashtags.

It was one of the main drivers for me to move out. I will never rent an apt with a system like that again. Now I know to ask if they have "smart" locks and will avoid them like the insecure plague they are.

They also had some wireless box that communicated with my apt lock that I had to put in my apt, connect it to my wifi, and use my power, all without any compensation.

Imagine a bunch of Marvel fans mad over the last few Thor movies making a gritty, comics accurate version. Imagine fans making the DC vs Marvel move that literally couldn't exist because of the studios would never allow it? Star Trek/Starwars crossover?

In a world where entertaining media becomes easy to produce, the only thing about the studio system worth anything is the distribution. Netflix would eat them alive.

The end state is something like media becomes so easy to create that most of it is only watched by the person who created it and even then probably not even that.

How many stable diffusion images are glanced at out of the 4 that pop up in MidJourney and are never looked at again but, just sit on MidJouney's servers forever? Eventually movies and video games will be this disposable.

Out of that might come gems that would have never otherwise been made but, most of it will be garbage.

If someone finds that their team keeps getting in trouble or failing due to mis-communication as a pattern, then something deeper is wrong.

No matter how valuable your username is, you are renting it without renter's rights. It's the equivalent of people building multi-million dollar businesses on land they don't own and can be kicked off of without notice or reason given.

It's even more insane that people use this for communication too and open themselves up to censorship, easedropping, governments listening. Social networks are good for connection but, relying on them and making an archive of sensative information in them is risky.

I make the initial connection in the social network for the network benefits and try to move people to better more secure and reliable channels later.

The clearly banned it because their analytics showed how effective it was in actually reducing people's usage of the platform.

All with gas prices that literally fractions of a penny and 50k+ transactions per second.

Fleet prices for electric cars today are already significantly cheaper. In the future, probably more so.
