@Gargen123@burnoutrosin Owned one for barely over a year cleaned it religiously exactly to spec never let the residue get super bad and it just bricked on me one day. The ones shilling are either puffco's marketing bots or just stupid.

99% of ai is people who have never been able to code being amazed by AI’s ability to create very simple front end interfaces with basic database backends to automate mundane tasks
marketers are absolutely printing off this
Finally non-programmers are leaving the Software Engineering space by becoming "vibe coders". The Software Engineers can now work in peace while those parasites are destroying the codebases of the Big Tech companies. The cancer industry cannibalizing itself. The future is bright.
I’d like to address the new 2026 Federal Tax law as it pertains to Sports Betting with a real life example from my own performance:
Here are my 2025 stats on #DraftKings as a $40 unit bettor for the majority of the year:
In 2025, I will be taxed at 22% percent (that’s my federal bracket) on $4,121 because that’s what I made in profits last year. Up until now, we can deduct 100% of losses. So,that comes out to $906 in taxes that I owe the federal government, leading to me taking home $3,215 out of $4,121 (78%).
However, this new law will now tax “phantom income”. So for some godforsaken reason, I can no longer deduct 100% of losses. I can now only deduct 90%, meaning I (we) will be taxed on 10% of whatever the losses are.
In this example, if I repeat my performance in 2026 on this book, I will now pay taxes on 10% of 40.5K (my losses - although, I’m not entirely sure how DK defines “Spent”), which is basically 4K.
In summary, I’ll now be taxed like I profited 8.1K, when really I profited 4.1K. Since I’m taxed at 22%, I owe 22% of 8.1K which is $1,782 (essentially double of $906).
Subtract $1,782 from $4,121, and I’m left with $2,339 in take home profits after a year on this book… this equates to me only taking home 57% ($2,339/$4,121) of my winnings as opposed to 78% ($3,215/$4,121).
Lastly, there is state income tax (if you live in a state with income taxes)…
