Airlines make record profits every year, and are run on razor thin margins. The wildest thing is that the flights themselves are a loss leader for the insanely profitable travel points scam they've been running since the 60s.

Stop extracting 80% of the profits for the investment class from the tourism industry and paying the pilots triple their current wages would be simple.

Never believe a corporation when they complain about labor costs. It's always a lie

I have never wanted any apple anything. The chassis styling is not my bag, the "innovations" they try to force on to the industry are even worse.

I do admit that many many people think that it was peak laptop and apple still makes basically the same laptop.

My daily driver is an asus g14. I can see framework getting popular and aftermarket chassis coming out that are more my preference.

I still won't spend an extra 35% for a laptop with swappable hardware, not when I can sell the whole thing into the used market for more than that 35% difference and get a whole new kit every 5 years.

15% premium and a full customization market? That's another question. Chicken and egg thing and I'm paying attention for my next actual replacement system.

So they know the problem, pay increase isn't worth the bullshit surrounding the promotion, and they know the fix.

Will they create more stable schedules or bump the pay to make it worth their captain's time?

Fuck no. Let's just cancel a bunch of flights because no one wants to work

For $1700.

Translation: no

Framework is super tiny. They had to pick one, and only one, GPU to engineer the boards with. I also think they plan to sell maybe 10,000 of them. I doubt they can even get nvidia to call them back for an OEM batch of 4070 laptop chips at that quantity.

Why would any corporate anything want a privacy focused social media site? There's no way to extract data or money from it. It's not like they're in the game to give you a service you want to use. Just enough to keep you generating data so they can sell you.

Put out robot bait and the follows just rack up.

If you go by that logic then there would be no second place console in the market, because every game would exclusively be on the number one console.

Walled garden captivity for any platform has always been anti consumer profiteering and was perfected in the mid 90s after the atari clones all passed into history.

Yeah, but as long as they don't buy more apple hardware it will seem regular priced to them.
