What? It wasn’t already the same company? Are you telling me that managed to create a useless company with no revenue from his asshole, persuaded idiots to pour billions in this new startup, then used that money to pay the billions in debt that other idiots lent to buy another useless company with no revenue?
A reminder that recaptcha is no longer free, but since a few months ago now the website owner needs to pay $0.001 each time a verification is performed
https://cloud.google.com/recaptcha/docs/compare-tiers
Free tier is only 10k verifications per month and must link a valid credit card so they can charge you immediately when you reach higher level.
Hopefully this kills the product in the long term as bots solve recaptcha faster than humans, so it’s just for slowing down humans than actual security. I personally use a browser extension that solves them with a click in a second.
That would work only in the console (or Apple) world where you can control who and how can access the data. Otherwise someone will stick it to an USB 1.1 hub connected to the USB 2.0 port for the mouse and then complain “the game is unbearably slow!!!”
Plus I don’t think anyone would want to pay $150 for a game (no, you can’t use a $10 USB drive for this)
According to Bengu and others, anyone can become a [shitty] web designer by using free services like ChatGPT, WordPress
That’s not web design, that’s copywriting. Impressive that he managed to get that money monthly from Fiverr, that means hundreds of websites made every month, I wonder what was the quality. I don’t want to be an asshole but maybe the same quality that you could get from chatgpt+WordPress and a free theme
Makes sense.
On YouTube what kind of support you can offer with that limited platform?
On their community forums there are already thousands and thousands of fanboys that already give their time for free to help strangers
On Twitter it would require enterprise APIs for managing the massive amount of messages and it’s ridiculously expensive for no reason. Especially now that direct messages between users that aren’t paying the subscription are basically broken
zero competitors are forced to raise prices 10% in europe, though
it’s a console launched 5 years ago with no new revision, it was unattractive for €500 in 2020 and it’s even more unattractive for €600 in 2025, if they want to move more units they should lower the prices, not increase them. With this price people can get a real PC with better performance, where you don’t need to pay a subscription to play online. And there are no cool “must have” exclusives like the ps5 or the switch, so the premium is not justified.
