  Initially wanted to say petit bourgeoisie isn’t the right term here but now the more I think about it, yeah?

  It doesn’t really fit the normal examples of petit bourgeoisie but economically I think they are in the same place even if they are not small business owners or sole traders.

  Right, but someone living comfortably on the interest of £1m, are we really calling them part of the wealthy class, but not someone who works for a 6 figure salary and has more wealth than the first guy while living in more luxury?

  So if I was already living in a van I would be wealthy?

  Where is the line though? Many people that could be considered middle class are realistically rich enough to never have to work again if they didn’t want to. But they want their flash cars and private school for the kids so they do need to work to keep that level of luxury. Even if they could still live comfortably without working.

  If I was to start van living (hard as I can’t drive) and rented out my house I wouldn’t have to work another day in my life. Does that make me part of the wealth class, despite having always been at/close to minimum wage? Getting enough rent to pay for my mortgage and leave me with many hundreds extra would not be difficult. Go for a HMO and turn the living space into more bedrooms like a standard scumlord would possibly even leave me with over £1000 a month. The only work I would have to do is paint over some mould occasionally.

  They don’t need to worry about shareholders demanding maximum profit. They are still going to be looking to profit but they can do things for purposes beyond just extracting as much as possible in the short term.

  Surely the steam deck is comfortably entry level?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was a loss leader then non gamers would also look to buy it and never touch steam. Doing that at a loss isn’t a great idea.

  Plus PCs cost fuck all compared to staff, may as well get them efficient tools if they will be using them a lot.

  Exactly, can’t pay corporation tax on a loss because corporation tax is only paid on profit. Worked in a small company before and heard moaning from high up about having to pay corporation tax when Amazon don’t. We could have paid no corporation tax simply by giving everyone a pay raise.

  So your thermostat is tracking your location by GPS to know when to turn on?

  I mean, I guess at least I can see how someone might benefit from it I suppose. I certainly don’t want that though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Either way you need to interact with your thermostat to change it, why add a vulnerability to it that the company may break it at some point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And it isn’t annoying to have to log into your thermostat every day?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you leave work at different times each day and week that you don’t know about until you are at work?

  Unless you do, a regular programmable thermostat would be fine.
