I’m not shocked. I used to love their shoes but the last couple pairs I bought dropped noticeably in comfort and quality. The enshitification rolls on

Fads gonna fad. At least pogs didn’t wreck the environment

For sure. Most of my cookware is stainless. I have a mix of that, cast iron, and high carbon steel.The right tool for the right job.

Cast iron gets jerked off over a lot but it has its merits. All of the ‘no soap’ talk is from the old days of lye based soaps and detergents. It still has the advantages of heat retention, durability, and low cost. Keep it dry and oiled when not in use and it’ll still outlive your grandkids.

More lead than at first; polonium-210 decays to lead. With a half life of 138 days, and 1947 being over 28,000 days ago, most of the original material is gone.

When VC and PE call a company or industry “mature” it means they don’t see increasing revenue, only something to be sucked dry and sold for parts. To them, consistent revenue is worthless, it must be skyrocketing or nothing. If you want to see this in action right now, look what Broadcom is doing to VMWare. They also saw VMWare as a “mature company”.

I replied elsewhere, but this is a manufactured case. The goal is to get it in front of the supreme court and get a blanket ban on all porn. This is one of the top objectives of project 2025

I can confirm this. Latest firmware and a generic toner cart. I just printed some stuff yesterday
