I think the whole point is that only Superstar Divas used to be able to operate like this.

Now, even "starving artists" are employing grey-area price-gouging techniques.

My anecdata is that concert fatigue is real.

I doubt this is going to bode well in the mid or long term.

My crystal ball doesn't work any better than anyone else's though...

Would you care to elaborate on what you mean with concert fatigue? I've never heard of it and you're talking about it as though it's something that is so common, it is implied to be known.

I go to more concerts than ever, due to the well-known phenomenon of streaming guilt.

(I just invented that term, but it's real for me!)

Logistically, it is complicated to do that unless it is a small venue and you are an indie band. It takes a lot of planning, contracts and advance payments to make a reasonably big show to happen. Larger venues are usually booked with months in advance, and most things you pay in advance are not refundable.

Wouldn’t you do Friday first in that scenario?

Venue might be cheaper on the Thursday.

I thought venues paid artists.

Generally not outside of the bar-band level, but it is highly variable.

This is fully on Apple themselves. USB consortium asked apple to use lightning for what became USB-C, but Apple didn't want to give up the ecosystem control.

What does that have to do with the EU requiring everyone to use the USB-C connector?

The EU could have made a different decision. Or not got itself involved.

That's just plain bullshit? I just checked my local second hand marketplace, and 2 year old flagship models seem to go for about 35-50% of the current equivalent newest model price.

I propose every Linux post should be tagged (1991) from now on

I don't but this. The first 2 generations of iPod didn't even have USB connectors, only FireWire, which was a PITA as most PCs had a USB connection by that time but FireWire wasn't common as opposed to Mac.

I don't think that runs contrary to my point in any way?

By the time the iPod came around, Apple had adopted FireWire to handle devices that USB's then-limited bandwidth couldn't really support. USB peripherals like mouse/keyboards were already pretty widespread by then.

Apple is consistently weird about peripherals, yes.

Hockey Puck mouse.

It was probably very localized, where my parent worked in the late 90s every office room had at least one, so my parents also bought one for home so they could easily transfer files.

It almost dissapeares overnight once 32MB+ usb drives became common, much more convenenient.

You can't draw conclusions on individuals, but at a species level bigger brain, especially compared to body size, strongly correlates with intelligence

I don't event think h265 is widely supported. On Windows you have to pay separately for it

The proof of halting being unsolvable usually uses a specific "adverserial" machine. In practice it's incredibly likely for the halt question to be answerable for any specific real life program.
