I mean the business case is clear: It’s way harder to pirate a game that forces everyone to connect to the server to work at all, then when a new version comes out you shut down the old servers and force everyone to buy the newer one. Welcome to late stage capitalism where you’ll own nothing and be happy!
At it’s core, Salesforce is basically a database. You can create custom objects (tables) and fields (columns) tailored to your business’ needs to store anything and everything. But you can’t just easily replace it with a database because they have tons of layers of automations and workflows built on top to make it insanely user friendly: Customer sends an email and it’s automatically logged and tickets opened, sales person has a call and can create quotes and they are automatically sent to the correct people for approvals, managers can get access to accounts managed by their team but not the entire company, etc. It’s the “works out of the box but still let’s you customize them” business process automations and UI that make Salesforce what it is.
GOP members with faces slowly waking up to the fact they got a hungry face eating leopard into the White House.
Seems like the erosion of the middle class isn’t enough to break out the guillotines so the upper class is next. The ultra wealthy need new people to squeeze more capitalism points out of!
My face is too good looking to be eaten by the face eating leopards!
Yes, that is unfortunately the measure capitalism uses to judge success. Something something invisible hand I guess.
Encrypted data. Could be backups of important service details in case all their servers are seized, leaked or sensitive data they are holding as leverage, or a private porn collection. Nobody knows until they release a decryption key.
It’s actually worse than than because winning the election has been a big windfall for Elmo to the tune of $70 billion: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/11/elon-musk-is-70-billion-richer-since-trump-victory-due-to-tesla-surge.html
It’s more like he got a 34,900% return on investment. If you include the $44 billion he “spent” on Twitter that brings the ROI down to a still impressive 58%, outperforming pretty much any market or fund.
They really are good businessmen, but the foxes are now in control of the hen house. Good luck everyone else!
This is 100% because they are also going to try and ban abortion. They only want “the right people” being forced into making new US wage slave consumers citizens.
It’s convenient timing that Google Chrome is removing support for ad blocking plugins like uBlock right as Premium sneaks ads back in… 🙄
They won’t be surprised, they’ll just remain angry because they’ll be given new scapegoats to blame by the propaganda machine.
GOP is the party of rules for thee not for me. The leadership are all disgustingly wealthy so they can easily fly their mistresses to another country for abortions, drug fueled sex parties, etc…
bUt ThE eCoNoMy…
Just going to leave this here with proof that Elmo said cars would be fully driving themselves by 2018: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/autonomous-driving/timeline-of-tesla-self-driving-aspirations-a9686689375/
It’s not a “community”, it’s one person making all the posts because I guess they wanted to make hating Linux their entire personality. 🤷
Buying a social media network: $40 billion
Buying a US election: $0.13 billion
Democracy is fucked.
What do you mean, corporations that have a legal obligation to maximize value for shareholders weren’t passing money on to consumers out of the goodness of their hearts? Nobody could have seen that coming! /S
That team writes emulators that run directly on Nintendo consoles, so they would likely test it on development versions of those consoles the same way actual console games are developed and tested. Otherwise they would be testing a Switch version of an SNES emulator running inside a Switch emulator on a Windows PC that would introduce it’s own errors.
I personally don’t think it’s so likely that Nintendo would write and maintain a Windows emulator just for their museum if an open-source project exists that they could legally use for free under that project’s license terms. Only someone with insider knowledge would be able to say for sure though.
Yeah, and due to the falling replacement rate the world population itself is starting to level off and may even start to decline. That’s why conservative political parties are all doing everything they can to force people into having children, because large corporations can only exist with a large and ever growing customer base.
