Comment Re:they could remove some of the cpu locks linux w (Score 1) 156

Running Win 10 on a dual-core 1st generation Intel i3 from over a decade ago with 4 GB RAM. Upgraded the HDD to a SSD and it works perfectly. It's actually snappy and responsive. No it won't run photoshop but it works for 90+% of users. What's the point of forcing all this hardware into a wastebin?

Comment Monopoly Powers (Score 1) 156

They have a monopoly on desktop OS's. They shouldn't be allowed to contribute to such a massive eWaste crisis just b/c they're tired of supporting old hardware. I hope regulation forces them to walk back their policy. There's soo much hardware that works perfectly fine for 90% of users. Web browsing, 1080p videos, Excel documents, web apps. All of it works perfectly on basically anything with a dual-core CPU and 4 GB+ of RAM.

Comment Lack of Discounts (Score 1) 9

That explains why there are almost no discounts for PS5 while the Xbox is on sale all the time. Microsoft is just inept. It's so bad at gaming despite being involved for 20 years it had to spend $100 billion to buy mega companies like activision and bethesda. I seriously doubt they'll ever see a return on all of that.

Comment Out of Touch (Score 1) 91

Has there ever been a white person who got rich and old and didn't grow out of touch and distant from the rest of the world? The founders couldn't care less. They're off enjoying their multi billions and doing god knows what. And I can't even blame them, I'd probably do the same. Pichai is just the manifestation of Page and Sergey not caring what happens at their own company.
