Chemosh (@Chemosh_moab) reportedWhy exactly does Amazon want a data center in Thane of all places? Data center does not need much personals to run. Make it far enough away from city that such problem does not exist. Have your data center in peace and also help city expand.

Faded Magnet (@FadedMagnet) reported@EricRichards22 I buy cheapo Chinese crap when it's something simple to manufacture and I don't need it to last. The bigger problem I have these days is that I sometimes can't even find a real brand on Amazon. It's all QIRSLYX and BUTTREE.

Froglet 🐸 (@froglet80) reported@SALT461 not yet. i bet if i go thru the listings one by one on amazon I will eventually find one that ships to the locker. have had this problem with other items. its not really a high priority item anyway so i kinda just left it for now.

Arti Agarwal (@parantapah) reported@amazon returns have become a nightmare. Pickup person shows up at any odd hour, if at all. If you're not at the location at that exact moment, they put some fake comments like "failed checks" & return gets cancelled. No way to contact customer service @AmazonHelp, which is non existent for most product issues. Seriously need better alternatives to Amazon in India.

Prince Bell (@UrbanAcolyte) reported@TubeAIYT I'm sitting at just under 400k and have never had a brand deal (not counting CPP offers for my AI filmmaking stuff, but some of those found me through YouTube videos) I think part of the issue is getting pitched random stuff where it either doesn't fit or sounds like a scam. Add to that I have a US channel & audience, but I'm actually in SE Asia. Some brands back out because they won't mail anything outside the US. The only "brand" consistently asking me to collab is AliExpress, and I have no problem with them because, like I said, I'm based in Asia, ordering from them is sometimes faster than Amazon for me.

Not Me (@NotMe19618102) reported@path2shah Fix the firmware, software, hardware. Fire or reward drivers based on rating put out by built-in driver evaluation app. Amazon does it, but I'm sure FAKE IT SUPERPOWER finds it impossible to develop such systems.

andrew heather (@stillconfused70) reported@AI_Park_GB @jmd60 @pritipatel Trickle down economies do not work, the money is hoarded in off shore accounts. If the big companies pay the lowest wages to maximise profits and minimise their own tax liabilities that damages the economy. For example Amazon, Starbucks etc.

Ricardo (@Ric_RTP) reportedApple just made every tech giant that went all in on AI look like clowns. For 12 months straight, Apple was the "biggest loser" of the AI era. Its AI team kept losing people. Its Siri overhaul kept getting delayed. And every headline said the same thing: Apple missed the biggest technology shift in a generation. But turns out, the OPPOSITE is actually the case... Apple passed Nvidia to briefly become the most valuable company on Earth again, worth around $4.88 trillion. Apple is up nearly 23% this year. Nvidia is up just 7.3%. Apple is now the best performer in the entire Mag 7. And when you look at why, it's almost funny. Apple won by REFUSING to spend the money everyone said it had to spend. Look at what the rest of Big Tech committed to the AI buildout this year: - Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft are spending more than $665 billion combined - Apple is spending about $13.5 billion - That is nearly 50x less than its rivals For a year, that gap was "proof" that Apple had fumbled it. Then the AI trade broke, and the company with no giant AI bill suddenly looked like the smartest one in the room. Apple never took on the risk. It never borrowed the billions to build data centers, and it never had to promise Wall Street that all that spending would pay off later. So when the trade cracked this week, Apple had nothing to crack. It still runs on iPhones and a services business that keeps setting records, not on a bet about AI revenue that has not shown up yet. And the crack itself was real: A Chinese startup called Moonshot dropped a new model that rivals the best from OpenAI and Anthropic, and it messed up the whole market in a single day. Investors are already calling it a Kimi moment, a rerun of the DeepSeek shock that hit these same stocks last year. The Philadelphia semiconductor index fell into a bear market, down 20% from its June peak. The Nasdaq 100 had its worst week in almost a month. Microsoft is now down 20% on the year, its worst stretch since 2022. Every company that went all in on the buildout got hit. Apple, the one that sat it out, is the company that came out on top. Why does this matter? Because for two years the entire market ran on one belief: Spend the most on AI or get left behind. The companies that spent $665 billion were called visionaries. The company that spent $13.5 billion was called a dinosaur. This week the market briefly went the other way. HSBC just upgraded Apple and lifted its price target to $366 from $260. Money that was chasing chips is now hiding in the one megacap with almost no exposure to the thing that just blew up. And the doubts are reaching the top now too: Societe Generale's head of US equity strategy warned this week that the biggest AI spenders are still burning cash so fast that investors are openly asking whether the spending ever pays off. What happens next: Nobody knows if this holds. Apple could lose the top spot again by Monday, and the AI bulls will tell you the buildout always looks reckless right before it pays off. But something bigger happened this week... For one day, the market stopped rewarding the biggest spender and started rewarding the one that kept its wallet shut. If that keeps happening, every board that bet the company on AI has a real problem. And the company that got mocked for doing the least became the safest place to hide from the trade it skipped. What do you think?

Alex Steryous (@steryously) reported@Evidently2Clear @cremieuxrecueil ERCOT is a good test case precisely because it’s structured very differently from PJM It’s an energy-only market, minimal capacity construct, largely isolated from the rest of the country, and generally well-regarded for its solar and battery build-out. Even there, the same pattern shows up. EIA modeled a high-demand scenario in which wholesale prices at the ERCOT North hub could be nearly 79% higher than the baseline forecast of $47.39 per megawatt-hour by 2027, driven by data center load growth. One fair caveat in the other direction: ERCOT’s residential energy prices have stayed relatively low, helped by the solar and battery build-out, even as transmission and distribution charges on bills have climbed faster since 2021. But “data centers lower your bill” isn’t supported in ERCOT any more than in PJM. What’s the solution to lower energy bills if we want to keep building data centers? Will orbital data centers make a huge difference? The core problem is simple: new load requires new generation and transmission, and if those costs get socialized across all ratepayers, everyone’s bill goes up. Make large loads pay their own way. This is the single most direct lever. Texas SB6 and similar moves elsewhere force data centers to fund their own interconnection, transmission share, and backup — so the cost doesn’t land on households. Speed up supply and fix the queue. Interconnection backlogs mean gigawatts of cheap solar, wind, and storage sit waiting years to connect. Clearing that queue lowers wholesale prices for everyone. Batteries specifically blunt the peak-price spikes that drive a lot of bill increases — a big part of why ERCOT prices stayed relatively low despite explosive demand. Co-locate generation. Pairing data centers directly with new gas, nuclear (including the SMR deals Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have signed), or dedicated renewables means the load never fully hits the shared grid. Reform rate design. Special large-load tariffs and “ratepayer protection” clauses that shield residential customers from data-center-driven infrastructure costs are spreading through state utility commissions. In the right orbit (dawn-dusk sun-synchronous, ~1,600 km), a satellite stays in sunlight nearly 100% of the time, which gives continuous solar power with no batteries and no thermal cycling. Cooling is radiative — you reject heat to the cold of space instead of evaporating water. So the “unlimited solar, natural cooling, no water” pitch isn’t nonsense at the level of first principles. But here’s why it won’t lower your bill, even if it works: It doesn’t relieve the grid — it bypasses it. An orbital data center generates its own power in space and never touches the terrestrial grid. That means it doesn’t add load to your utility, which is good, but it also does nothing to lower the price of the electricity you buy. Anyway, I’m rambling. I thought orbital data centers would reduce load here. I guess they do in a way.

Please take accountability

Gareth Walker (@Revision_124c41) reported@Firebreather452 There is an old saying, "the more things change the more they stay the same". Change is inevitable, but it also turns back in ward on it's self just as much. Same problems different scenarios. "YOU CANNOT STOP THE FUTURE" is just nonsense teenage angst and hollywood bluster. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to go back to riding horses. I might consider it if my car has DRM and starts having advertisements every time I turn the car on before I can go anywhere. Funny thing about Evolution, since your keen on how things evolve, is that evolution is a double edged sword. Things fail to catch on and get traction. Species go extinct. Technology is littered with failed technology. It's also clutter with failed forecasts of the future. It's evolution is not something easily predicted. Cellphones by now were supposed to replace laptops, but the NexDock and android productivity software hasn't exactly caught on as a full replacement. This was predicted as far back as the 90s with shows like Tekwar and the movie AI from steven spielberg. Let me know when youre docking your phone instead of using a PC. People predicted that CD, DVD, Vinyl, Bluray, UHD were all dead technology. Yet I can go to amazon and get any one of those things and there is a resurgence. People still buy these things. Digital is just a distribution channel, I think people like yourself need to understand this and the problems with those channels. It took a decade+ for a lot of these digital services to get their heads out of their asses in the music space. itunes and amazon as well as others eventually finally went DRM free. Sadly many of those services don't always supply options for audio formats. Amazon only provices MP3's, itunes supplies aac. Neither of which are lossey audio formats. Then we have FLAC which is lossless, but I don't trust in those services that provide flac nor do they always get the music I want. Sometimes I want those special albums physical, especially if they are a band I like, a symphony I enjoy, or just a random album that is precious to me. Audiophiles will talk your ear off about it. Movies the same thing is coming about and they too have to figure out this DRM free problem before anyone considers their nonsense as applicable to reality. Streaming services aren't reliable. Servers to stream purchased content are even less reliable and sub divide your content further. A lot of these movie fans just get the discs and setup their own servers because the nonsense is just not worth the headache. Which leaves us with games. GOG is the only guys in town that don't do DRM games. PC has an open market. Sony is taking away the one bit of leverage they had left over PC. A reason some of us back in 2006 left the platform, because valve was the future. Thank you Epic and GoG for fixing that problem. Thank you valve for endorsing proton, improving your policies, supporting linux, and giving us a future beyond microsoft. So the next time you call someone a loser. Maybe think to yourself who the loser really is. The person who understands the situation, or the person sitting on the sidelines calling every one a loser with zero concept of what is happening.

SwampGirl (@curiousEarthian) reportedIt’s really disgusting subculture that came with capitalism. It’s not just food. Once I told a roommate the trash can should be regularly cleaned with rotation schedule, he just went on Amazon and bought a new trash can and expected me to thank him solving the problem.

Tinku Venkatesh | ಟಿಂಕು ವೆಂಕಟೇಶ್ (@tweets_tinku) reported@alwarkadiyaan Your digital footprint speaks louder than you think Your Facebook login, Amazon login, or any e-commerce account should ideally use the same phone number as your WhatsApp number The same goes for your email ID Similarly, your phone listens to you. You discuss a product & suddenly similar options start popping up The moment you visit one of those products, you begin seeing ads about it everywhere !

Andrew Wilkinson (@StartupsILike) reportedAmazon has now borrowed more than $100 billion over the past year. It is the largest debt issuer among every hyperscaler funding the AI buildout. The latest deal alone raised $25 billion across eight tranches, with maturities stretching out to 40 years. Peak demand hit $62 billion. Orders got trimmed down to about $41 billion once the banks tightened pricing. Roughly half the demand Amazon's $37 billion deal pulled in back in March. The sale hit more than just Amazon. Investors sold existing hyperscaler bonds to make room for the new debt. Prices fell across the sector, including at Alphabet, Meta, Nvidia, and Oracle. None of this points to weaker credit. Amazon's ratings haven't moved. Investors are starting to ask how much more of this debt the market can keep absorbing before appetite runs out.
