  @BlackDumpling In 100 years, people will not be able to tell WTF really happened anywhere after AOL came online.

  @Rorothats70s @D4Pats12 @uscfan981 Austin wasn't the reason why WCW ended It was Money Laundering AOL Time Warner execs who charged WCW 10 times the standard on production costs on everything with affiliated & linked companies They didn't want wrestling on their network. It was a choice If TNA can be around for this long & lose more money than any other promotion in history, then you can clearly see that's a choice also.

  @ASSEENONAI @Grummz They'll likely end up spinning xbox off. Kind of been saying they should do that since 2015. Just wish I did it on here so I could point to that. Problem with doing it at this point is that it is more about saving face for Microsoft and not about saving Xbox. I do think they should go through with it though. Part of the problem was Satya Nadella, he's the one who pushed for over expensive acquisitions and game pass. A lot of people blame Phil Spencer, but I think he was just a victim of his bosses own incompetence. I don't know where Sara Bond fits in to all of this, but I kind of point to her being a Satya drone that was hand picked for Phil as Xbox was not recovering since the Don Matrick blunders that came before him. A lot of people blame phil for what honestly started with Don Matrick, x360 was already a weakening brand by the time that generation was over and Sony had basically closed the gap that was once a huge lead and huge reputation. Removing Satya and the rest of microsoft would force the company to stand on its own two feet and look at the industry realistically. Cut some of that tainted human resource and get back to making good games. Hard decisions will need to be made and Xbox will need to be profitable again before this can work. We may even see microsoft retool their hardware targets to be more like Nintendo's than Sony's going forward. Leaving Valve and Sony as the only competitors in the high end gaming market. Still forcing sony and valve to address the low end as the plateau is no longer too far out of reach. This would effectively put an end to game pass and many other stupid ideas microsoft has had over the last 25 years. Praise Xbox Live as much as you want, but paying for a walled garden should have died with AOL 35 years. Now we have this stupid situation where we are fighting companies in courts just to keep servers online, paying for a minimal tier for "premium" game servers many of which are peer to peer and not being funded by the subscription. That entire back end is just for user accounts, messages, and voice chat, not even get versions of technology that are fundamentally free at this point. PSN and Nintendo Online would have likely had been still free too day if Microsoft hadn't decided it was more important to have subscriptions. I think at this point Xbox is a stranger to microsoft. Remember when the Xbox brand was formed it was to take over the living room and keep sony from ceasing control. They ultimately lost that fight and many others. I'd say the fight for the living room now belongs to streaming boxes, not game consoles. The threat of the DVD drive no longer exists. There isn't a single Xbox/Microsoft streaming service for any media that I'm aware of on Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, or name another device. There isn't even a microsoft smart tv. These days Microsoft's interests are AI and Cloud. It's anyone's guess if Windows is even still a priority to the company these days, let alone Office. So why does Microsoft even need a gaming division? Direct X was originally intended to get people on windows. Now it's being used on Linux through proton and some devs are starting to look at vulkan to help improve that compatibility. GPU drivers are getting better in the linux space. I think it's time microsoft stepped back from gaming. Keep working direct X. Maybe consider bringing their development tools to other platforms. I know they tried this once a long time ago and Sony and Nintendo told them to **** off, but things change. The entire development suite for both companies is buried in Visual Studio development these days. With support for things like CLANG and cross platform connections. MS thinks making it easier to port between PC and Xbox Helix is going to be some kind of huge win that'll get them exclusives from third parties, I just don't see it. 3rd Party devs have entire core tech departments just specializing in getting around the weakness in dev kits. At best indies may seek you out assuming Epic doesn't just laugh you out of the room as people continue to get their Engine.

  AOL had 30M users, and the internet locked down. Then the open web ate it. Anthropic and OpenAI are playing AOL right now. The Fable 5 rug pull just showed every enterprise exactly what it looks like to depend on closed AI. The off switch exists. Someone else holds it. Llama, Mistral, Qwen - they're not "almost as good" anymore. For most enterprise workloads, they're good enough. And they run on your own hardware. Apple MLX + NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops + rapidly improving open weights = the mainframe-to-PC transition, happening in real time. Open-source AI will do to Frontier Labs what the open internet did to AOL. History doesn't always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. The only question is how long you keep building on someone else's infrastructure before you start owning yours.

  Bitcoin - it’s not a pretty picture right now. It’s been in a massive sell off since October of last year. It does have dynamic support at that red line, which is the 200 simple moving average. I would expect some sort of bounce there, but there is no “has to” in the markets and it can certainly go lower, even much lower.  My problem with bitcoin is its usability. I’ve never used bitcoin to buy anything and very few places accept bitcoin as payment. And when an asset class can move that quickly, it is certainly not a store of value, at least not yet. So when people say it’s digital Gold, I just don’t know, I don’t see it yet. Until I can actually use it, I can’t get excited about it. There is value to the technology I know that for sure but I’m not educated enough in crypto to know exactly what that is. The market will tell me when it’s time to buy crypto. Crypto reminds me of the .COM error of 2000, you could see the future, but you knew it was a while away from being practical. Most of the names that were all hyped up are no longer around like AOL or Infoseek or Netscape. With the .COM crash Amazon went to a dollar a share. OMG imagine where you would be right now if you bought Amazon at a dollar a share. We may be approaching a similar situation in bitcoin, I’m just not sure where this asset class bottoms. Don’t forget with the Internet, we were all hyped up about it in 1995 when it was just coming out, but it wasn’t until 2000 when all the mania started happening in the internet stocks which led to the eventual stock market crash of 2000.  Disclaimer: this is not professional, financial advice, it’s just my opinion.

  @ryanpcrypto @thatsKAIZEN AOL didn’t conduct the poll, they reported it. My bad for not explaining that. You are MAGA after all.

  @SMB_Attorney @nikitabier MSM source = Entrepreneur and AOL? LOL. I recently experienced the life of an FBI press release for a case I was following. Most MSM “outlets” pretty much posted it word-for-word. Several took the time to paraphrase it but introduced some errors/misinformation by doing so. Slop is the norm in MSM news cycles.

  You know CT is bad when your web3 identity is just a wallet address and a mid-90s AOL username.

  20. Connected Account Vulnerability The Situation: Back in 2010, you finally made the jump from Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL to Gmail. To make the transition easier, you linked your old legacy account to automatically forward everything into your new Gmail inbox. You haven't logged into that Yahoo account in a decade. The Mechanics: Legacy email platforms like Yahoo and AOL have notoriously outdated, porous spam filters compared to Google's billion-dollar machine learning infrastructure. By using POP3 or IMAP to pull that mail into Gmail, you are essentially bypassing Google's frontline defenses and piping raw, unfiltered internet sewage straight into your pristine Gmail ecosystem. The Fix: It is time to sever the cord. Go to Gmail Settings > Accounts and Import. Look under "Check mail from other accounts." Delete the legacy connections. If you absolutely still need access to that ancient Hotmail account for banking resets, log into it directly, aggressively clean it, and set up incredibly strict server-side rules there before allowing it anywhere near your primary hub.
