>>107235383I LOVE THIS COMPANY
>>107235383Going to be funny beyond belief if after all the shady stuff that went down at Microsoft, it's some NBA bullshit that gets him an ankle monitor (no way he goes to actual prison).
>>107235383interfaces.
>>107235431qrd?
>>107235776nothing ever happens
>>107235383BING IT UP YOUR ASS, YOU'RE FIRED!
>>107235776He owns an NBA team. Like most pro leagues, there is a salary cap to keep wealthy teams from hogging all the talent became allowing that to happen would make the league noncompetitive and unstable. Steve set up a company separate from the basketball team that he used to hire players for no-work jobs. It was a way to funnel millions in extra salary to players if they signed with his team.On the surface, that's only a problem for the NBA. Steve broke league rules and now the league can punish him and his team. The company however wasn't just a funnel for undeclared salaries, it was also setup as a legit business with investors. Those investors had no idea the company was paying NBA players who were doing nothing for the company. The investors only have their money in the company, not the NBA team, so those players benefiting the team isn't relevant to them. This might be fraud on the part of Steve since he was using investor money to pay his players without disclosing that to the investors. At the very least, he's going to have to pay a bunch of money to the investors for the money he misappropriated. There's also a chance that what he did was criminal and not just a civil financial issue.
>>107236092kek, I hope IRS comes at his ass so hard he will have to leave in a suitcase on a private jet to japan (or lebanon), but who are we kidding he's gonna get a slap on the wrist, it's the US after all and CEO shenanigans like these are expected
>>107236272He's a tiny hat that stole money from other tiny hats. That actually does get prosecuted sometimes but far more likely is that he makes a private settlement with them and everyone shuts up about it. The government isn't going after him if the whole thing goes silent. He just needs to buy his way out. Hopefully his fellow tiny hats take advantage of the situation and make him pay a painful amount to settle. On the NBA side, he'll have to accept whatever punishment the league comes up with in order for this to leave the news cycle as quickly as possible.
>>107236092owning an nba team of all things, kekimagine what he must have done in microsoft
>>107236343he fucking killed nokia, I hope the tribe crucifies him
>>107236462He also killed Microsoft so he gets a pass.
>>107236513microshit still alive, maemo/meego all dead, nokia at death's door, this monster deserves to hang
>>107236573>microshit still aliveIt's alive in the same way IBM is. A zombie company getting by on legacy contracts.
>>107236620I wish, but their openAI investments are reaponsible for 1/7 of the bubble and they keep hiding the numbers after they once released numbers showing only 5% of their customers decided to pay a $ for the magical AI, wonder why they're not blasting everywhere how profitable that shit was
>>107236620A zombie company worth trillions.
>>107236092kek really? I really don't understand why guys like that do dumb hilariously evil stuff like this but maybe that's why I'm not worth billions.>>107236620They're the second largest cloud provider.
>>107236001kek
>>107236729>>107236758>>107236813Show me any innovative technology Microsoft has made in the last 10 years. You can't, because it doesn't exist.
>>107237209>muh innovationsShow me the part where that matters. You can't, because it doesn't exist.
>>107237265>Show me the part where that matters>What is Google>What is Tesla>What is Nvidia
>107237313bait used to be believable
>>107236813When I worked at a high end grocery store in a wealthy part of LA, it was amazing how many people came in trying to scam us on returns. They'd only make a couple of dollars and they were driving expensive cars. Seemed to be the thrill of pulling one over on the store rather than about the tiny bit of money they got. Maybe it was to keep their skills up and their conscious down. If you wear a tiny hat, getting away with scamming another tiny hat is like winning a game on a high difficulty level. Ballmer didn't need the money but tricking his fellow tiny hats into participating in a scam to violate NBA rules probably caused him to nut all over the room when he came up with the scheme.
>>107237313google also fucking folded 99% of their innovations, the only things that work for them are bought (youtube, android), same with meta, coasting on buyouts of instagram and whatsappmuh tesla kek, lets see how they do now with no gov support and chink competition, muh batteries so revolutionary tech (or do you mean full self driving in two weeks?)
>>107237571>or do you mean full self driving in two weeksNo he's talking about the 2020 moon uh sorry mars base. Musk colonized the moon in the 2010s.
>>107237571Google is the de facto leader in quantum computing and self-driving, no other company even comes close. Meta might've fumbled the metaverse but they still own the VR space as a whole. Tesla didn't invent anything new, but they followed the Apple way of taking existing tech and putting in in an appealing package. Sure, chink EVs are a thing now but 8 years ago, non-Tesla EVs were a bad joke.
>>107237789>This paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation records, should they arise.https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/1237muh quantum computing
>>107237863That paper is the quantum equivalent of the original meta study on primates and sign language. A hand grenade that kills an entire field 100% populated by sammers, quacks and retards.
>>107237933bbbut at least waymo... Nope also buy out by goog, the retards at goog didn't come up with an original idea since two decades now

>>107238241Congrats, you're not banned
>>107235383was he right about freedomfags being commies?i originally felt like he wasn't, but rustfags have swayed this feeling towards the other direction
>>107238654I commented on the dickpic post. Making sure I didn't get tossed with the op.
>>107238679Plot twist: Microsoft sent trannies into FOSS to destroy it.
>>107238679Your choice is between a commie OS or an agentic enshittified OS.
>>107239204Will be*I have until 2032 to make a choice.
>>107238679Rustfags are commies but they're a subgroup.
>>107235383I miss him. Not because of how he ran the company, but because of how fucking funny he was on stage. Modern CEOs are fucking boring.
