Comment Remember, they got sued for Movie Maker (Score 1) 102

The most expensive (at the time) penalty imposed on a tech company was anti-competitive monopoly abuse due to including Movie Maker in XP. Yeah, because that was taking so much money away from Adobe Premiere. Mmmhmm. You tell me that isn't more egregious than OneDrive turning itself on then demanding money and requiring an MS account to do anything in Windows. I think they need a $20 billion fine this time.

But see, that's not socialist enough for the liberals in charge. Anyway, England doesn't have native American tribes (obviously) so they don't have dozens of examples that UBI doesn't work and doesn't just create 18 year olds that pack 4 people into an apartment and play video games all day.

It detected the kid as soon as it could. Also, it was going 17 MPH. I can't even name a car that can't stop basically instantly at 17 MPH. Remember, 10MPH -> 20MPH = 4x the inertial energy to dissipate so 17PMPH is VERY easy to brake from. I think they're playing with semantics and it "detected" but made the wrong interpretation and never intended to brake. That's why they didn't openly say that it failed to brake in time due to reaction time and speed and physics, because that's not true, but that's what their statement seems to imply. What a bunch of snakes.

Comment Unrealistic (Score 1, Troll) 11

They don't have enough electricity to use domestic AI solutions and their entire economy is supported by external tech giants because they let it get that way. Short term greed and profits over long term stability. Even with that much flowing into the country, look at the barbaric way the majority of their population lives because there is a grand total of zero effort to help out other Indian people by Indian people. They got their money, keep the peasants out of the cities, and "look at me and my clothing and cars and fancy house" is basically the culture over there. That never goes well. I think they have bigger problems in their society than missing out on AI tech that's one giant bubble when they cannot possibly compete in the first place.

Okay, go install it, uninstall zero MS apps, sign into a hybrid online account as required by the unmodified installer, install Discord or Teams and Steam, don't disable Edge's ability to run in the background or disable fast boot in Windows, reboot, open one Chrome window, and let me know what wizardry you did to have it not use approximately 11.5GB of RAM, as it consistently does in my testing.
