  • Enshitification is when a company’s quality decreases in favor of pocketing more money. It’s about greed and projecting the illusion you’re growing as a company. Shareholders like growth. This is exactly what intel is doing.

    They cant pocket more money by selling their existing product for more money, as people won’t pay for it and profits will decrease.

    They can’t pocket more money by selling a better product as that costs money in itself and won’t guarantee the return you’re looking for.

    The only other play is to slim down your existing product and pray no one notices.

    Intel chose the last option.

    And it doesn’t necessarily have to be about pocketing extra money. Lots of companies took a big hit because of Covid and interest rates. Lots of companies that were profitable are now in the red because of interest rates. Supply chain issues also had a strong impact on company growth and profitability. So in desperate attempt to stay “profitable” some companies elect to decrease quality to save money as there is no other way to produce additional profit to keep going.

    If you make your product worse over time and it’s at the expense of your customers, then you’re effectively enshitifying.

    Small airports aren’t really an issue tho. FAA won’t come after you for that. But you should always know where you are, where the restricted air spaces are, with a plan to avoid them. If not you’re fucking up as a captain.

    Restricted airspace’s are there for a reason. It’s for safety and not paying attention to them has consequences.

    Descend and land. You’d have done that long before “starting to enter” restricted air space. Otherwise enjoy your fine and potentially losing your license once the FAA finds out.

    It’s like not you can accidentally enter restricted air space. You know you’re going to be entering the airspace long before you get there so there is plenty of time to take action.









  • It’s basically finances vs convenience. By renting you’re paying for convenience. But you’re taking the hit in your finances.

    And just because you’re renting doesn’t mean you’re absolved of the landscaping fees. If you rent a house it’s expected that you’re still mowing the lawn and paying those expenses. Otherwise you live in an apartment where those costs are handed down to you through rent.

    There is a lot to consider there but in the end you’ll be spending more money which you’ll never see again by renting.
