Comment Counterpoint: 10 years is long enough OS support (Score 1) 132

Consumer Reports fails to comprehend the importance of keeping up with the times. Windows 10 pc's that are unable to run Windows 11 are subject to attack from malware that isn't defended against by TPM 2.0, which was approved in 2014 (a year before Windows 10 was released). It is unreasonable to ask Microsoft to support a 10-year old operating system forever. There have been plenty of PC innovations over the past 10 years that people should want a new computer -- although without the bullshit focus on advertising that Microsoft incorporated into Windows 11, ensuring an enshittified experience. More and more I'm wondering if the solution is to leave Microsoft and use Linux if you want to run an old piece of shit computer forever.

Comment Counterpoint: Apple's push into health (Score 1) 81

Airpods Pro 3 adding support for heart rate monitoring and hypertension alerts are innovations for which Apple should be commended. But what I'm waiting for is multi-point Biometrics -- building a profile of me which requires my face, my pulse, and my fingerprint simultaneously -- to prove I'm there and I'm alive.

Comment Crypto is for Crime (Score 1) 80

IF the US had a President who wasn't running a criminal regime, he/she would shut that shit down. Crypto is the only currency accepted by hackers who hold hospital patient data for ransom, threatening the lives of innocent Americans. Supported by Putin, these constitute an act of War against America. Biden and Obama were too big pussies to go to the UN and declare these attacks as economic acts of war, requiring a military response. Putin won't live forever, but Trump is such a chump he'll never put an end to it.

Comment Courts are a refuge for products that suck (Score 1) 74

If you can't beat them in the marketplace, then maybe your product isn't that good. I do not know a single person who wants their AI to be trained to call itself "Mecha Hitler" and is actively being trained to be used to fuel right-wing Christo-fascist Nazi ideology. Fuck Musk -- he's a giant asshole.

They are called computers simply because computation is the only significant job that has so far been given to them.
