... soon, the same for electricians, carpenters ... Plumbers too ?
Can I afford a new PC or should I save money to repair things in my house ?

If buying is not owning, then piracy is not stealing

If they told him it was irreversible, why keeping the data ?
If it was reversible, why telling him it was irreversible ?

All this over 25 years ???

We already knew, but it's better to say it again : M$, in "personnal data", there is "personnal". That means "not yours". And if I could, I'd make you pay $1000 per byte of these data you steal.

Governments want control.
In France, ma€ron says he wants to protect the youngs under 16.
OK, that's could be good, if this wouldn't imply that everybody must surrender pseudonymity.
But the real point is that ma€ron declared a war against each and every counter-power since his first election. He hates contradiction. He hates democracy.

If some features are subjected to subscriptions, that means that the feature is installed in the vehicle. Thus adding weight. And more weight means more fuel consumption. So, are we entitled to ask for compensation for feature we never asked for ?
I got my driving licence on a car that was close to one ton.
My first own car was around 1.3 tons (Peugeot 307).
My current car is around 1.5 ton (Honda Civic).
I know, security adds weight.
But heating seats too. Motors for stupid things too. Meaning more weight. Meaning more fuel consumption.
If I never wanted to buy these options, why should I support the indirect cost ?

EPIC == Patreon ? Is this the same problem again ?

Banks : should the Apple rule(s) apply to each and every bank app, since they allow money transactions ?

Do not get distracted, keep in mind that the same who plays victim and call you antisemitic to hide their multi-decades violations of international laws are perfectly comfortable with the "folklore" that created them.

If you understand French, watch this : it described how annoying they are to astronomers, how polluting it is to put these things into orbit, how polluting they are when they fall back to earth, how crazy is the final amount needed, and how short their lifespan is, and how fast they prematurely fail.
Still a good thing ?
And according to the service bandwidth "improvement", I think that the cycle for land-based ISPs is closer to the range [10-15 years .. it failed ? Don't care].

By the way, the whole Boca Chica thing is a (bad) joke.

I'm tired of the musk shit, I won't spent time searching for the correct numbers. But I'm pretty sure the number of failed sat. is much higher.
And the way these little turds are designed, they constantly need replacement, because of "natural death" - lifespan : 5 years - or accident - less than 5 years then.
What a joke.

Reading the article, I could help but test ChatGPT.
That's unbelievable.
Since I must be so far, by millions, from the first to ask this robot about this unlawful coup and kidnapping, I thought at least I would get some pieces of information about it, even thin ones.
Far from that : complete denial at first !
I had to give this thing a link to the Tweet from Macron. Fun fact : I don't have an X account, so I read Tweets using Nitter. ChatGPT said it could not read the Tweet, but acknowledged most of the fact in an impressive U-turn !
What a piece of crap !

By the way, Macron, or ma€ron, which is closer to what he is, proved by his declaration that he definitely is a trump boot licker. Since we already saw him sell Alstom, Doliprane, pay McKinsey and some others billions for a work close zero, and many more gifts to the US, that's just an additional confirmation of his boot addiction.

As I recently read, if you want to forbid access to those under 15 y.o., you must check everybody.
Usual scapegoat strategy.
The purpose is elsewhere : to control and eliminate counter-power.

[original post still available at the time of writing] "My goal is to eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030"

Liars, except if Windows is not written in C/C++ already. Is it Visual Basic ? COBOL / .Net ?

Well, preview/testing or not (but released to the public), being a 50 y.o. company who can't implement a button that just work should be the last nail in their coffin and send everybody toward Linux, at an even more accelerated pace than Windows 11 requirements did.
I can't see any good reason for a button text/bitmap/whatever being separated from its action area.
Oh, wait ? Something to do with those web based user interfaces and/or flat design (by the way, a flat design button where only the text is considered a button press area, and not the whole rectangle, is not a button to me).

I replaced my previous a year ago, after 6 years of service.
I kept it running even when Samsung tried to kill it with its #GSOD.
I decided to buy a new one because the battery took a sudden autonomy hit, in addition to the Samsung mess, and I didn't want to have to buy a new one 10000 km from home.

If I could vote, that would be + 1 000 000 000 agreed.
