Indeed. This is completely insane. This whole trade war has the stink of desperation on the US side.

Indeed. Microsoft needs to die. The sooner, the better.

If you need to ask... oh, wait.

Yep, same here. Do not need, do not want, keep that crap away from me.

That is just the thing: You do not pay for the OS, you get the OS for free. You pay for all the other crap bundled with it and that crap cannot be removed.

I will definitely do away with all windows systems I can when Win10 goes out of support. In addition, I do not need an artificial idiot in my systems. There are enough natural idiots around already.

Indeed. Forcing somebody to work more than 10h/day and 50h/week counts as assault and can land you in prison in some countries in Europe.

He is right that the gap between the US and Europe gets larger though: The US is losing its middle-class and everybody is getting poorer and poorer (excluding the rich). The same does not happen in Europe.

Whether self-enslaved or enslaved by some company. Everybody else works smart and recognizes there is life outside of work.

Looks like some no-honor, no-integrity "moderator" believes "I do not like this person" is a valid reason to down-mod. Again. Scum.

Well, in _that_ case, the infrastructure will do exceptionally well!

Indeed. And the crumbling of US infrastructure continues. Well, maybe AI can accelerate that effect.

I actually get upmodded a lot more than downmodded. But the religiously deranged have no honor, decency, integrity or working minds. Hence I try to insult them, as they deserve, whenever reasonably possible. The are really the worst of the worst the human race has to offer. Mass-murderers, torturers, corrupters, oppressors and worse. The quasi-religiously deranged (like the Nazis) have made real efforts to catch up in evil done, but they will forever only be 2nd place.

"Too low" to satisfy corporate greed, that is. Still entirely profitable, but what nice asshole CEO would not use a chance to rip of his customers.

It is a lie. Seagate just wants to increase profits.

In particular, Version 4 comes without any memory protection. Friend of mine, way back, wrote a C program that corrupted upper memory and, as an effect, his disk. I made similar mistakes, but DR-DOS just gave me nice memory protection errors. MS DOS was a complete piece of shit right from the state and never outgrew that.

Because anybody having a commercial interest in AI success is completely unsuitable to be a member in such a board.
