Meta losing 20M users just reinforces that losing subs is a trailing indicator that you've lost your way.
And Meta lost its way years ago, so it's been very very lucky.
We probably will think of Facebook and Instagram much more negatively than MySpace years from now

Tesla is in a no-win situation as it faces the ire of its earliest customers
The company plans to replace old vehicle computers in a plan that one analyst said seemed “expensive and perhaps not even sensible.”

Auto manufacturers seem clueless shoehorning their Truck approach to EV's.
EV's are a poor match for Trucks - because the latter are already very heavy and EV's are poor at towing 7 other truck things.
This seems like basic common sense. Are there no longer any competent product mgt/dev people?

Arizona proved tonight that not being able to shoot loses championships.
It's the same problem KU has had for three years
It doesn't matter if you have great defense if you can't shoot. Virginia should be proof of that...and all those KU teams that won championships (that could shoot)
