    I get trashing Zucker, fuck that guy. But, hear me out: first gen tech used to be big and bulky and that was okay because it’s assumed over time efficiencies will be found and future models will improve. Computers and phones being the most glaring examples. Tvs as well. It may look like shit, and be by a company we hate, but if it gets enough of a foothold we should look forward to other companies and other models. I keep hoping the same on the VR front as well.



  • Yup. Black Friday and Amazon’s Prime Day are complete bullshit. I found out early when I saw a monitor I was tracking raise in price drastically then ‘drop’ to a sale price for Black Friday. When people wisened up to that companies started playing the ‘model number’ game, where they release the same TV or device but with a different model number to specifically skew prices and act like you’re getting a deal. It’s probably one of the best examples of late stage capitalism I’ve seen.
