Hangin' with my Bokobros at the Skyview and a second later lightning kills everybody but me. I took their shit and launched. That's late stage capitalism in Hyrule.

@EWErickson Someone has to play the part of cuckold in this bromance between Trump and his digitally signing pen pal in Iran.

@bonchieredstate Iran gives the gift of humiliation for America's 250th birthday.

@Geiger_Capital Well, except for higher longevity and lower infant mortality, but definitely held back.

@markgurman Was that the crisis that saw plunging iPhone sales or the capex crisis that depleted Apple's cash reserves on AI build-out?

@JezCorden You are so close to getting it....

@JezCorden If only there was a business model where a company like Microsoft could sell software and services on devices in stead of building devices and losing money on every single one.

@JustinShubow @EWErickson Nothing says "Supremacy of the State" like a heavy, monolithic structure that forces itself into the surrounding community and utterly dominates it.

@JezCorden It's called a "glass cliff" when someone, often a woman or minority executive, is promoted into leadership during a crisis, when the likelihood of failure is unusually high.

@Daniel_Rubino The install base is so large that AI features/requirements are just the latest means to power the perpetual revenue super cycle.

@avidseries By this logic anyone who thought Gaetz and Hegseth were unfit for office would also conclude the same for Platner.

@EWErickson Is anyone targeting inflation?

@tomwarren I believe this stage is called: bargaining.

@bonchieredstate Someone should tell the Iranians launching missiles at Gulf states and shutting down the Strait of Hormuz that.

@JezCorden What they need isn't a game, but a straight up commitment to XBOX for "X" years, 10 being a good round number.

"If you are worried about Microsoft sticking with XBOX—don't be. We'll be making games AND devices today, tomorrow, and ten years from now."

@tomwarren I couldn't resist fixing that one sign—using AI, of course!

@tomwarren As visual communication, they made one smart choice: the four-quadrant infographic as Windows logo. Most tech people would subconsciously recognize it even without the "Microsoft" label. Otherwise, too busy: C- grade.

@Daniel_Rubino @zacbowden Of course, the question that never gets asked is why Dell, or even more pointedly Microsoft, didn’t make this computer last year.

[𝚓 𝚊 𝚍 𝚎 @OldManJade]

@JezCorden They used to break out revenue specifically for the Surface division. They stopped at the end of FY24. This may be why. It has not gotten better since then.

@JezCorden I ran a model and I concede the point. Losses are probably in the range of a couple of hundred million a year, a tenth of Windows Phone before it was cancelled.
