521·3 days agoThe reason for the high sales of the PS2 was because it was a cheap DVD player at being nearly half the price of a stand alone DVD player.
Funny by the time I worked at Target when they discontinued selling VHS and a customer was arguing with me about why did we stop selling VHS and I replied, “Dude, buy a DVD player, there’s one on that shelf for $35, its cheaper than a toaster now.” My manager standing next to me wasnt too happy but the customer reluctantly bought the cheap ass-DVD player.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux For Your Grandma - A Linux guide for those that are not super techy
4·8 days agoI do that with every Windows iteration. There’s usually a step by step guide with 10 instructions with pictures.
Unraid tutorials have been like download this app, be sure theres no conflicting ports with your docker container, you need to add this pathway. Wtf is a port or docker? I get it now after 40+ hours of research and going 4 pages deep in a Google search but none of the tutorials are dumbed down enough for the average Windows users.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux For Your Grandma - A Linux guide for those that are not super techy
153·8 days agoThe premise is why you should change for those that arnt techy? I mean I’m pretty techy but get my ass handed to me anytime theres the slightest hiccup with Linux. The tutorials come from nice and well intentioned people but they gloss over a ton of stuff like drawing an owl meme. Its nice that its customizable but it also does allows people move app data from one drive to another without a warning to comical effects. Really, its cool for what it can do but it is not for the faint of heart and Ive yet to find any tutorials that dumb it down enough for this simple person thats been using computers since they were called IBM compatables.

"Subject: Q2 2023 Quarterly Update: Record-breaking Profits, Strategic Realignments, and Compensation Adjustments
Dear esteemed stakeholders,
I am thrilled to present to you the second-quarter update, brimming with noteworthy achievements and strategic developments that have significantly impacted our organization’s performance. Despite operating in a dynamic and highly competitive landscape, we have delivered outstanding financial results that surpass any previous decade’s records. I am excited to share these details and provide insight into the exceptional growth we have experienced in recent months.
Financial Highlights:
In Q2 2023, we witnessed a meteoric rise in our profitability, with net earnings reaching unprecedented heights, outperforming any comparable period over the past ten years. The diligent efforts of our teams, coupled with robust market conditions, synergistic acquisitions, and optimized cost structures, have paved the way for this remarkable achievement.
Strategic Realignment:
Our success can be primarily attributed to our relentless pursuit of strategic realignment initiatives across multiple fronts. By strategically refocusing our core business lines and leveraging our distinctive competencies, we have effectively capitalized on emerging market trends while fortifying our position as an industry leader.
Our investments in cutting-edge technology and digital transformation initiatives have empowered us to unlock new opportunities and drive operational efficiency. The implementation of data-driven analytics has yielded insightful decision-making capabilities, enabling us to optimize resource allocation and enhance overall productivity.
Product Portfolio Optimization:
Our product portfolio underwent a comprehensive review during Q2, resulting in strategic pruning and refocusing efforts. By prioritizing high-growth areas with maximum revenue potential and aligning our offerings with evolving customer needs, we have ensured a sharper competitive edge and amplified market penetration. This proactive approach has allowed us to streamline our operations while effectively positioning ourselves as a provider of innovative solutions.
Employee Recognition and Compensation Adjustments:
Regrettably, amidst these commendable financial achievements, it is imperative that we address a necessary adjustment to our compensation policies. While profits have soared, we have made the difficult decision not to award annual bonuses to our employees this year. This choice was made to safeguard the long-term sustainability and growth of our organization, considering the dynamic market conditions and the need for prudent financial management.
It is important to emphasize that this decision was not taken lightly, and we remain deeply committed to the well-being and development of our employees. Alternative avenues, such as performance-based incentives and recognition programs, will be explored to ensure ongoing motivation and engagement within our workforce. We firmly believe that nurturing a conducive work environment, coupled with career advancement opportunities, will continue to foster a culture of excellence and drive collective success.
Looking Forward:
Moving forward, we will remain steadfast in our commitment to driving sustainable growth, capitalizing on emerging market opportunities, and nurturing a resilient organizational culture. Our strategic initiatives will continue to prioritize innovation, operational excellence, and customer-centricity, ensuring our ability to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing business landscape.
I extend my deepest gratitude to each member of our organization, whose unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence have contributed to our resounding success. Together, we will navigate the evolving market dynamics and deliver sustainable value to our stakeholders.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
[Your Name] CEO, [Company Name]"
