Will Meteor Lake and new tile architecture do for Intel what chiplets did for AMD? Will Intel have Arrow Lake desktop chips ready before the end of the year? Will AMD extend AM5 & make any commitments to more CPUs for it, or will they be tempted to sell more mobos? Buy anyways, the answer is probably yes. The best gaming PC bang/$ right now is the 7800X3D, and next year will probably be the 8800X3D.

The best bang for your buck next year will probably still be the 7800X3D. Clock bump would be nice, but probably not nicer than the price drop.

Jre is a weird putz. Not sure why he has such a large following. I skimmed the vid and he basically is going to sue some company because they “stole” some designs and then build wheelchairs? And then put some sewer pipe in the backyard for ww3? Blech.

There's in jokes and quotes and stuff on the JRE/dbrand skins and those jokes and quotes are replicated exactly on the Casetify skins. They've been caught out by the skin equivalent of trap streets on maps, it's really dumb because those things are basically the ONLY thing that makes JRE/dbrand's skins identifiable as theirs.

FWIW, Nebula is offering lifetime subscriptions for $300. One time, nothing re-occurring. According to Legal Eagle guy, until the end of the month although it looks like they periodically offer it from my searches. I have no problem supporting creators for content that I like, but I do have a problem with monthly subscription fees, especially with revenue going to the largest companies in the world, so this is totally my thing. I've been considering going to Nebula in light of the youtube/google poo poo, so this is probably going to push me to it. Anyone here have Nebula and their thoughts on it before I take the plunge?

I think Nebula is normally $30/year? So that's quite a while for it to pay off.

I pay like $22/year for CuriosityStream and it comes with Nebula (I signed up through some promo that Adam Neely had years ago, so I dunno if that's still possible). Nice platform, no ratings, comments sections, algorithm, etc. That said I'm leery of lifetime subscriptions because there's no guarantee the platform will still be around in the number of years it would take for the subscription to pay for itself, and also offering lifetime subscriptions is a terrible business model (saddling yourself with permanent clients who will never give you another dime is a big middle finger to your future self). Whenever I see a company advertising a lifetime subscription, it doesn't inspire confidence that they'll be able to sustain the business for that long.

I do agree that 10 years worth of subscriptions is actually too much to pay for a lifetime subscription.

Has Nebula improved their streaming bitrate? Their videos were pretty grungy last I used it. Streaming bandwidth is very expensive regardless of bitrates, though, so a lifetime membership is a very scary prospect. It makes you a net loss much sooner than you might expect.

Logically we knew we were playing a game of balancing revenue against cash, but the exact implications are important. To our surprise, over 50% of the people who purchased lifetime memberships were brand new customers. Of the folks who were switching, less than half were direct subscribers. Even more surprisingly, we actually saw monthly and annual subscriptions increase. Not sure about bitrate though, that's a good question. I just assumed it would be at the very least 1080p?

from what i've heard some nebula creator say the lifetime access thing is a "bad deal" by design and the main purpose is to get more upfront cash to fund bigger productions. i haven't read the blog posts but i assume they go in more depth. i don't mean it to sound nefarious in any way btw, i support it. well in spirit, i'm too broke to afford dropping $300 on a streaming service of youtuber bonus videos

Doing some more research on Nebula, came across this on x/twit, this guy is the head of Nebula https://x.com/dwiskus/status/1727040333995794866?s=20 https://x.com/dwiskus/status/1727727480436306435?s=20 Dude seems alright. Even if I don't buy a lifetime, I think I'll probably buy a year if nothing else.

Volte posted:The main issue is that you can't rationalize away the fact that in ten years, if the site is still around, a potentially sizable portion of the userbase will be now be actively costing you money. On top of that, if the site ends up bleeding paying subscribers between now and then, the lifetime members have no incentive to join the exodus, so they would actually become a larger and larger liability over time, in that a higher percentage of the cost of running the site would be due to usage by non-paying members. The more non-paying users they have, the more money they need to be bringing in from paying customers to offset it. They can at least amortize the money they're bringing in from annual subscriptions, but with a lifetime subscription they can't do that. It's just a highly unpredictable model and most software I've seen with a lifetime license (i.e. free upgrades for life) has eventually done a "our bad, turns out this isn't sustainable, sorry we're ending the lifetime license" mea culpa after awhile. I've got a lifetime account with the Nexus series of modding websites. They stopped selling them but have kept the lifetime accounts grandfathered in. A hyper niche compared to video sites, but depending on what you're talking about places are more than willing to deal with customers that ~cost~ them if the whole operation works. Sometimes people keep things around even if it doesn't make them as much money as possible at all times.

I think that's probably the scenario they angle for, that they stop selling them and keep adding a normal subscribers for monthly revenue as a base (at least for quite some time until they pull a Netflix) but in the scheme of things the lifetime members are a small # compared to the general overall base. If they keep selling them and the number of the general base dries up, then yeah, that is a problem for long term sustainability. They also carved out a caveat in their T&C which stipulates they reserve the right to potentially introduce new media streams which may not necessarily be included in a lifetime membership. Personally haven't decided either way.
