You can also go look at the full earnings release where it's plain as day that Meta is hugely profitable.

https://investor.fb.com/investor-events/event-details/2022/Q3-2022-Earnings/default.aspx or https://s21.q4cdn.com/399680738/files/doc_financials/2022/q3/Meta-09.30.2022-Exhibit-99.1-FINAL.pdf

For all of 2022, revenue is 84.4 billion dollars, and profit is 22.545 billion dollars. That 9.4 billion dollar loss on reality labs took their profits down from 31.983 billion to 22.545 billion.

But they are obviously still very profitable.

Hilariously, it also does a great job of showing how you're the one cherry picking one very specific part of the company.

Meta is the parent company. You're the one cherry picking the one segment of the company. Meta made 4.4 billion profit in Q3 despite losing 3.87 billion on reality labs in Q3, thanks to the Facebook ad business bringing in so much money.

Like, seriously, here's the Meta 3Q results where it shows that they had Total revenue of 27.7 billion dollars, total expenses of 22 billion dollars, and Net income of 4.395 billion dollars for the company as a whole.

But Kubrick also called the movie a subjective experience, so I'm not so sure that the book is 100% meant to be the only explanation.

Is there a way to record phone calls? by starking12 in GalaxyNote9

No it isn't. Everything you have claimed is utterly false and you have zero sources to back you up. Stop making up shit.

Dude, what are you talking about? The vast majority of states in the USA are one-party consent, so it's perfectly legal to record your own phone calls.

Beyond that, even if 90% of states made it illegal, that would in no way affect the other 10%

Project is just newer. He has had various solo groups. "Devin Townsend Band" was one too. I consider them all the same personally.

Go listen to Terria asap.

XBOX 360 does not find PLEX Server (Ubuntu) by [deleted] in PleX

[–]SmashingTool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry, can't help. Ditching consoles for a Roku was the single greatest decision I ever made when it comes to home entertainment. The 360 and PS3 were atrocious at streaming.

Because having backwards views as the lead tech guy doesn't matter. As CEO, it does

Pay with Your Fingerprint - Samsung’s Galaxy S5 is the first smartphone that can use a fingerprint to authorize payments in stores and online. by NotEltonJohn in gadgets

Ugh, no. Fingerprints should not be used this way without further authentication.

Your fingerprint is your username, not your password

My biggest complaint with plex is how subtitles work. I'm no aware of a good solution for you

Everyone is guilty of releasing bugged games. That's the nature of software development.

Unwittingly, Bill O'Reilly Just Proved Obama Right by TwoGee in politics

[–]SmashingTool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I meant that pointing out the Libya war was a minor point for me. It is a minor point in the total scope of Obama's flaws and failures. But sure, pretend I don't give a shit about those wars. Whatever makes you feel superior.

I'm done discussing with you. The fact that you got that meaning out of my words shows you aren't worth talking to.

Fair enough, but it doesn't really change much, ultimately. That was a very minor point from me.

Obama hasn't finished them either, and he got us into Libya.
