Who cares? PG&E posted almost a billion dollars in Q42023 alone. This is less than 5 years of profits, and excludes Socal Edison. And I'm guessing most of this infrastructure cost is actually in their normal expenditure budget.

@arstechnica

It's entirely disingenuous to omit the profits PG&E and SoCal Edison make in this reporting. They could still be massively profitable (not considering the huge increases in sales/revenue) over the time frames, and assuming worst case costs.

First real-life Pixel 9 Pro pictures leak, and it has 16GB of RAM

With 16GB of RAM, there's lot of room for Google's AI models to live in memory.

@arstechnica

Tell me it doesn't really have 16GB of memory, and it has a constant battery drain.

@arstechnica

They haven't delivered shit for "full self driving" since they announced it in 2016 (other than move goalposts) and they keep changing the price. What about the poor saps in for $12k, who haven't got shit, and now it's cheaper?

@arstechnica

I hated cable, that's why I've been streaming exclusively for almost 17 years or so. And only pirating before that.

This bullshit is pushing me back to pirating. It's their own fucking fault.

@arstechnica

So capitalism itself is the major reason drugs are insanely priced, and also why there aren't others that are available.
