Neither is publicly traded. Neither of us know the numbers.

Does Steam make money on hosting indie games?

How does one research such a question?

I don’t need answers. I had them before I made my second post above.

Good luck to you.

I want to note that you’d need about $143 in gross sales to meet the threshold of $100 in net profit.

On the surface that sounds like a lot. But, they’re providing a service without any guarantee of any income. Epic can only compete because they’ve few users and are willing to operate at a near loss in attempt to garner market share.

This will be a difficult one for others to understand as a “good deal”. Gamers are usually correct when they pull out their pitchforks. This should not be one of those times.

Does Steam take a cut for distribution?

If not, while this emotionally sucks, they’ve a solid operational policy.

Yeah, another pointed out that I’m probably wrong. There’s an even simpler “walking” method. In my defense, they don’t teach that one in physics or engineering.

That seems simpler than what I said. And, the simplest answer is usually the correct one.

Be it behind the gym or the portables, fucking with an audience while in high school is quite a bold move.

You let the smokers watch?

They cut cylinders, rolled them downhill with rope and levers, stood them up using another one as a fulcrum for the lever, and carved them in place. This was genius then. Today it’s high school physics. It should be obvious to us how they did it.

Quartery earnings report due 10/25. There’s no reason to sit capital here if there’s no catalyst for change.

That’s incredibly easy to do on any analysis platform.

They answered in another post in the thread.

Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.

if my ISP provided prefix changes… affects the IP addressing on my local network.

IPv6 is just people shouting NAT BAD… Having every device have a public IP6 address I’d an anti-featute.

If you’re working in IT then you should find a new career.

That’s definitely not the quality of answer I was expecting. Thank you. I’d not realized Sony has been such an innovator.

48V, 10A at 6 feet or less length requires 16awg wire for <=3% loss (which is the critical appliance standard rather than the more lax <= 10% used for most DC circuits). That’s a wire with a conductor diameter of 1.3mm ~= 0.05in.

The cable probably isn’t 10A rated. But, it’s not an overly thick wire to get it done. Most of the girth is insulation and shielding.

This is overly simplified. And, I didn’t care to watch the video.

Why is the “high end” brand Sony?

About 1998: I tried to ask a Sony receiver to deliver about 80% published RMS. After about two minutes it went into a protection mode, never to recover, bricked.

About 2005: A used Sony 5.1 HT setup’s receiver failed. The speakers said 4 Ohm on them. An HK 4 ohm stable receiver begs to differ. Speakers went to Craigslist.

I’ve been avoiding Sony for nearly 20 years. Are they doing something right for playback devices such as a CD player?

If they didn’t have the basics covered they’d not be volunteers. If they wanted money they’re already soliciting. I’d bet most would say as I say when I volunteer, “Donate anonymously to XYZ organization.”

But, I’d be on cloud nine if all were guaranteed water, food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, education, and recreation. It’s been the consistent US left platform for eighty years.

We could monetize and enshitify it like everything else. We could ask if they take donations like good little neolibs. Or, we could consider that some people don’t need or want to be paid for their incremental contributions to society then leave alone the developers of the best software around.

The US. Psychiatrists can Rx. Psychologists cannot. But, they’ve always a psychiatrist in their back pocket who’ll do whatever for a quick buck. If they label themselves “therapist” they’re idiots who couldn’t even hack a MA.

My experiences have clearly demonstrated that anyone accepting money will inhibit progress or have one forever dependent upon pharmaceuticals. Those that provide the best help never asked me for anything in return.

Same goes for education.
