@mhoye depending on how fast it's depreciating, you better go next door, hit everything your neighbor owns with the hammer, send them a bill, and hope they were doing a renovation project

@mhoye maybe we can sell people the hammers after we nail their doors shut? just brainstorming here

@d6 @mhoye Or you can teach people that hammer is a ubiquitous tool? Or at least pretend long enough.

@mhoye If everything is a nail, quarterly shareholder expectations are also a nail and I *will* hit it.

@mhoye this probably was apropos of some piece of more recent news, but is such a general trend that reminded me of https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/05/broadcom-sends-cease-and-desist-letters-to-subscription-less-vmware-users/
VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom

Broadcom says it may audit VMware users.
