This will be in v2. The player in fact will not work unless said attachment is within suitable lashing distance of a llama. CRM (camelid rights management).
AIUI JITX has potential to serve non-mainstream markets, including hobbyists, in ways that people aren't really imagining at this point.
Unfortunately for them, though, the mainstream market, along with all of the incumbents, is where the $$ is that would fund non-mainstream support. If the prime rate was still ~0% you might see a strategy out of JITX wherein they'd first take some spectacular swings for the fences in smaller markets. Those kind of successes would make quite the splash here.
But now they've got to go fight it out for the enterprise seats, and, for a half-dozen reasons, post-haste. If they can manage that successfully, I expect they'll soon also be able to do great things for hobbyists, on hobbyist budgets.
Hey - you got this very correct. Good insights as to what we're up to. Grueling to build product for the pros, but once done it can support a lot of people.
T-Mobile is solid all around (>>> AT&T or shudder Verizon), but US Consumer Cellular has one of the best customer service operations I've ever dealt with.
Not in my ecperience, although my many interactions with them were 10 years ago, so they might have gotten better. It still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
Not the worst parallel to draw, I reckon, especially in the wake of Copilot, GPT-3, etc.
And I'm sure that circuit designers who'd invested the majority of their career in that async paradigm, only to see it facing obsolescence due to 'inexorable' tooling (digital EDA being that era's Copilot/GPT) advances, would've also downvoted an analogous comment :D
But regardless of whether any big tech co. needs loans or not, the cost of any investment they make, as well as the referred-to-present value of any payoff from it, are anchored to the interest rate. And the recent upward movement in the interest rate -- not to mention high inflation -- has drastically (relative to the ~0% interest days) raised the costs and lowered the payoffs.
Tech (both Big Tech & startups) is also getting hammered hardest first here mostly because those are the ventures that attracted investment of the lion's share of 0%-minted dollars, and that investment is vaporizing at the same time that the ROI (payoffs - costs) on lots of those firms' WIP has gone negative.
Peter Zeihan is basically always right in terms of first principles. Where there is time & opportunity for others to course-correct is where I've seen most of his predictions go awry.
A great example is the price cap -- enacted via insurers -- on Russian oil, which was a remarkably creative measure. PZ was spot-on about the precursive factors, specifically a) that insurance concerns dominate global shipping, and b) that the world was in for some serious pain if Russian oil stops abruptly.
LOLOL I wasted $900 on a "high end" Acer laptop once. _Never_ again will I trust them.
Anyone foolish enough to buy from Acer something where defects & cheap design can injure you deserves to, well, at least, lose the $$$ they fork over. They don't deserve the myriad injuries they will get though.
