I'm a developer with 4x years of experience. Windows has been my desktop operating system since DOS 3.0 days, and have no desire to move off of Windows 10. I didn't, that is, until now. There's no way I'm letting Windows 11 into my personal life, so I got the free 1-year security extension, I'll buy another if I can, and then, if that AI Recall spyware is still on Windows, I'm leaving. Probably to Linux.

'Round and 'round,
The cash money goes,
Where it stops,
Nobody knows.
When it blows up,
Investors will cry.
And AGI dreams,
Will finally die.

That factory is a horror show. They raise flying pigs in captivity and then grind them up with a bunch fiberglass to make flying cars. Guess what noise the horn makes?

We Canadians eliminated the penny in 2013. But, like most other Canadians, I have a box of the damn things in the corner of my bedroom. Yeah, we don't stamp out new ones, but we still have lots of them kicking around.

DST... Standard... who cares! Just pick one and stick with it. A year from now everyone will forget they cared.

Of course Windows will now run on XBox - you only want to write that telemetry code once!

What's AMD to do when the gov't refuses to pay a 1 billion dollar bill on the whims of a fickle leader? Might not be worth the risk. Safer to have many smaller clients than one uber-honker that can sink the whole ship.

There's but one response to a 50% profit increase demand: Enshitify your app. Coming soon to your XBox.

Been hearing that one for decades. Who the f*ck actually needs that? Who would trade their favorite browser for such a lame feature? Wasn't he promising AGI and a utopian world of joy and leisure just a year ago? And now we get reservations? No amount of tap dancing is going to make that a hit with the common folk.

Sounds like Ed-201 with wheels. Just wait until Elon plugs a neuralink brain into it. Voila! RoboCop!!

... how many of those 'weekly active users' are sales bots chatting up the dating bots? They're both so bloody agreeable we could end up with little bitty baby bots.

I guess you're one of those "the glass is always empty" people. There are storage options beyond batteries, some work in the cold. And no one's building AI data centers in the artic, so I think it's safe to ignore your straw-man argument.

Does Boeing have any aircraft engineers left? I thought they were all replaced with financial engineers and supply chain managers.

Wow! Vibes is a great reason to run a huge AI farm consuming gigawatts electricity causing tons of CO2 to belch into our air. The pollution from AI ain't just in your news feed.
