Sony was at the top of the world and while their design of the PS2 was unorthodox still became the best selling console of all time with a fantastic game library and great graphics for the time. Sony wanted to follow the same philosophy for the PS3 hardware design and that was exactly what they did, only times where different and designing all the chips like they did on the two previous generations wasn't really feasible anymore. Also the PS3 hit at literally the worst time, there was a tectonic shift about to happen, the thinking at the time was to offload some GPU workloads to heavily specialized units in the CPU they had low programmability but were powerful for some very specific workloads, but literally a few days before the PS3 launch NVIDIA released the 8000 series GPUs (Tesla) and it had unified shaders, and it introduced CUDA which meant GPUs were no longer just for graphics but could be used for others things as well (GPGPU) and basically made any other design obsolete overnight.

But because group chats and the channel features are not end-to-end encrypted, Galperin said user privacy is potentially under threat. In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off. Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform.
