I bailed as soon as apps stopped working with the Win 3.11 "Win32S" extensions and started demanding actual Win95.

The part I'm having trouble understanding... how did it take "31 years to let you kill windows 11" as per the headline?!

Windows wasn't all bad, though. Microsoft found my name on a list of consultants and sent me a free evaluation copy of Windows Advanced Server 2000. It was really incredible! The highest quality disk I've ever had. It provided a stable platform for my coffee for about 10 years before the label was completely worn off and I retired it. Still hadn't cracked. Those AOL disks would start cracking after just a few months.

Indeed, I was mostly joking.

My Nissan wouldn't be as great as it is if Japanese people weren't actually driving them.

It's a bit odd since in most other areas, including transport, the latest technology seems to be quite popular, except where traditional technology is used. And gas cars aren't very traditional.

I keep hoping one of the Japanese car companies will make an EV that uses normal, non-appified, ergonomic vehicle controls.

Oh, well, if he put on a display then surely we can believe every word of it literally, after all, he's an executive.

Especially if some guy from Trinity Business School who hasn't actually talked to any employees with complaints is defending him in an interview with CNBC.

Are you a complete fucking moron? Wait, wait, no, don't answer that.

The case goes to DoJ because [normal, good reasons]

Perhaps, or that's the place to send it if you want to sweep it under the rug.

The way it looks now, where the CCP spy is the executive from the company that was smuggling the chips, and the complete lack of interest in blaming anybody... it's looking like they're just sweeping to me. Time will tell, we'll see where the chips fall.

You skipped all the words that refuted your reply. You're not even smart enough to argue with somebody.

All you're going to prove is that the codebase is the codebase. You've done nothing to refute that it is equivalent to the copyrighted data it consumed.

That it can be equivalent might even be the intended purpose of the technology...

Obesity has increased, but also body-shaming has decreased.

In the old days most obese people avoided being in the frame whenever they could. And the rest of the group would usually encourage and accommodate that.

Photographs show what they show, but they're often misleading if you make assumptions about what you're seeing that rely on context not in the picture.
