Spotify tickets: streaming firm tests direct pre-sales to fans (exclusive)
Spotify’s latest expansion into the world of LIVE MUSIC will see the #streaming_service #selling_tickets directly to fans, #rather than just linking to #external #ticketing #firms😘
It kicks off tomorrow (10 August) with a small number of artists, with pre-sale tickets available to fans through Spotify’s app and a newly-launched tickets.spotify.com website..
Don’t get carried away with any ‘Spotify takes on Ticketmaster’ hyperbole just yet.

It's really sad to see billions of dollars WASTED on death defying ideas SUCH AS #SUBSCRIPTIONS?
It's #MIND_BOGGLING how billions of dollars #BURNED_UP just to prove you are all #WRONG!
#IGNORING the people who #KNOW!
Once the #BANK IS #BROKEN
(basically already is .. another story)
..everything will crash due to #HARD_HEADEDNESS.
Remember one thing?
Billions LOST mean billions going into someone #ELSES #POCKETS;)
NOT A GOOD STRATEGY;)

#MANDITORY = FORCED_COMPLIANCE?
#GM Makes $1,500 OnStar Subscription Mandatory on #GMC, #Buick, #Cadillac Models
Remember how GM said it was gonna make #billions on #subscriptions?
This is how.
If you don't want to pay for in-car subscriptions every month, no problem: Just pay it all upfront. That's the line from General Motors today after news spread that it's making a three-year, $1,500 OnStar connected services subscription a mandatory "option" for new Buick, GMC, and Cadillac Escalade models.

After 50K pms hours and over 500 programmers in the last 25 years from all across the world--one thing stands out the most in terms of #IT_SKILLS?
Programmers are blind as bats. they do not have the business background or SOUND logic *required to write SOUND code.
..and why it will take the USA 2 decades to recover..
YOU cannot buy this type of talent.
UNFORTUNATELY #USA has shot themselves in the foot!

We were #right, the #mainstream_media was #wrong (or they lied).
Generally, #inflation and #shortages lead to #price_controls, government #rationing..
as well as the attempted #confiscation of #supplies from people that prepared ahead of time. (aka #hoarders)
Almost every trade expert and industry insider is admitting that supply chain problems are going to persist into the foreseeable future, and some are starting to also admit (in a roundabout way) that localized production and trade models are the key to survival.

“At a time when mental health is of such a concern amongst our young people, our school community saw the phone as a significant and negative contributor to student wellbeing,” he said.
Mobile phones are banned in primary schools in NSW, but high schools have the flexibility to decide if students may use digital devices during school hours.
“Some secondary schools have also chosen to restrict the use of digital devices,” he said.

Crypto-driven GPU crash makes Nvidia miss Q2 projections by $1.4 billion
Cheaper GPUs are good for gamers but bad for Nvidia's bottom line.

A #Sydney #High_School #BANNED #MOBILE_PHONES. It had dramatic results.
#Davidson High School principal David Rule said there had been significant changes since students in years 7 to 10 were banned from using mobile phones at #school.
“#Classrooms have effectively become #phone_free and this has allowed staff to #focus on #educating students,” he said in a school newsletter. “Finally, in eight weeks of the policy, there has been a 90 #per_cent #reduction in #behavioural issues related to phones...”
“The pouch also allowed our staff to use them when necessary as an #explicit_teaching #tool for a particular lesson,” he said.
