Problem is companies like to use global accounting schemes to hide/move profit.

If it was “5% of profit in the EU” then overnight Apple would suddenly make 0 profit in the EU due to “brand licensing fees” to Apple Cayman Islands Incorporated.

Did not know that was a thing! Sure beats chemical pesticides for naturalness AND cuteness 🌼

What’s going on here?

Forgive the ignorance!

Just to say I would love for an iPad Pro to replace my MacBook, but without root file system access or a bash/zsh terminal it wouldn’t work.

Does the new multitasking stuff and liquid glass work well on the base iPad that’s a couple of hundred bucks?

Can’t justify having two super powerful four figure devices that have such overlap otherwise (for me).

Parcel App

Let’s goooo!!!

Great explanation I get it now!

Like how did these even work??

The system is working as intended.

At what point is any of this DOGE stuff treason

*Blaze

All part of Putin’s plan.

There will be some terms that Russia wants “at the last minute” that Trump will insist on otherwise he’ll pull the rug again even worse.

No need for a false flag operation, though that could be a nice next play for the aggressors. Heck that could even be an excuse for not only the US dropping support for Ukraine but completely switching sides and providing support for Russia!

I really hope Europe pulls its finger out, as they have been promising. US will be a bad partner for the next four years. And then again when Trump jr. runs next.

I don’t think they do.

They seem to play on cultural references “for the lolz” and sometimes some pointless competition e.g “screw meme A buy meme B!”

Thinking about it I don’t understand why, given the now unpopularity of Elon and his gvt stuff, the meme coiners aren’t going all out on CATE to spite DOGE. That would actually be hilarious to see in the papers!

But again to answer the question - they’re a joke gamble, like picking a horse with a funny name regardless of its form.

I like to think of water utilities as a simpler example.

So you’ve got a water company, it provides everyone in the country all of their water, congrats, 100% market penetration. Production is mostly recycling, with the remainder falling from the sky.

So what now? Consistently make the same earnings every year, weighted for population changes?

Nope, graphs gotta go up, prices have to go up.

Guard dogs thinking who pissed on masters lamppost

How so? (Genuine question)

If this is isn’t already on steam for a couple of bucks, it should be.

The only thing that really annoys me is the little notification things that pop up over the content. Like I have to wait to copy a password because it’s telling me I’ve just copied a username.

Oh and that it’s now pointlessly doubled the clicks, so to copy a username, instead of clicking the “copy username” icon, you have to click the “copy something” icon and then click “username”. So four clicks to use an entry that isn’t autofilled instead of two.

I had no idea!

Wonder if any of that stuff will make it upstream and if not if there’s good reason?

It’s sad, remember when terrorism meant flying a 747 into a sky scraper?

Nowadays whenever I see it in the headlines I just assume someone pissed off the wrong cop.
