Every major cloud provider is running on Linux, not just embedded. Even Microsoft's Azure cloud is running on Linux.

What the hell are you talking about?

And Microsoft's Surface line (Which is intended to directly compete with Mac laptops) also has soldered/glued everything. Won a Surface Pro 7 at a conference a couple years ago. Was excited til I got it home, realized it had 4GB RAM and you can't upgrade it. My wife is happy with it, gave it to her. For me, it was worthless. I stick to Dell's Precision line of laptops - upgradable and the power of a desktop machine. With fans!!

You ordered a Mac with upgradable RAM? Recently? On the M1/2/3 line? You're lying.

You sound weak, you can't carry a real laptop?

"will make the fans spin faster (and louder)" -- Uh, we're talking Macs, so no fans, no matter how much it would make sense, they just aren't "cool enough" for fruit-fuckers.

I'ma start calling you "Dipshit" cause you are...

MS "Sequel" Server? You're admitting you're lying stating it like that.

Don't matter. Nowadays, Linux is the #1 OS on the planet, by a long way. Unix doesn't matter anymore.

"IRIX, Solaris, Tru64, AIX, or HPUX" -- Why would I want to waste my time with those dinosaurs? If you can't get performance out of Linux or Windows then you're just not very good at systems.

Brings to mind the Skrillex video where his Mac overheats and shuts down in the middle of a concert. I like fans, they are there for a purpose. If you're just going to run a word processor, you probably don't need a fan, but if you want to do big-boy stuff, you gotta dump Mac.

What fruit-lover marked that as troll? That's pretty much a true statement marked as troll.

Yes, that's not surprising that there's nuance that does beyond the headline. There always is.

Ironically, it's is more of an argument for them. They were not saying there would be no more updates, be them major or minor to windows, but rather than they wouldn't have "numbers" and transition into more of an OS as a service model.

The market doesn't like the sound of that. That's fine, but it's not like if Microsoft stopped numbering their releases they wouldn't be doing the exact same thing: sunsetting older versions of windows and pushing users towards newer supported versions.

I know some people think they should be able to "buy" an OS and stay on it forever, but the internet has rendered that largely impossible. If you want to air-gap your PC and stay on whatever version of Windows you want, go for it, but as soon as you're connected to the internet, they're doing the right thing trying to push people off of codebases that no longer support an economic case for security updates.
