I'm looking at you OpenAI - all those billions you're hemorrhaging can't be replenished for ever. Just die already. Perhaps with that the bubble might burst and RAM will become affordable again.

Actually it's 3200 and that's not including all the staff disappearing with the sale of some major studios. Basically this is an evisceration and it is clear that the XBox the console is fucked, and what remains will focus on casual and lame content - more Minecraft, more Candy Crush and similar slop.

Github's parent just laid off most of the Xbox division. As bad as it is to drop physical media, it doesn't look like Microsoft is going to last much longer either in that regard.

The fact they're not doing it everywhere indicates they're doing it in Europe through gritted teeth. EU already watered down the legislation so Apple & other phone makers could use "waterproof" as a loophole around the requirement, but for devices that can't like the Switch they're going to do it begrudgingly.

A drone carrying a condom full of epoxy or paint could teabag the camera.

The counter argument, is if they've gone to these efforts to develop chips so thermally & energy efficient for their workload they can run in space then why bother launching them into space in the first place?

... it's just another pack of lies like everything else Musk hypes up.

Anyone not already on Azure / AWS / Google sure as fuck isn't going to use Meta. And with Europeans looking to use sovereign cloud providers, and likely the same happening elsewhere there might be a move away from US providers entirely.

Some of the more modern antibiotics can melt your liver or cause you to rip your tendons.

You definitely want these things to be thoroughly tested.

Nixon started the cancer moon shot 50 years ago and during that time we have learned that cancer is not 40 diseases. It's 400.

All my Rokus are now infested with ads but the Roku stick is even worse since it seems to take an absurd amount of time for it to just connect to the wifi.

(my real Rokus are all hard wired)

I'm sure they all get subjected to the same annual corporate ethics training courses. Some policies apply company wide even in megacorps that employ 300,000 people.

This is also WSL. The container runs against WSL except the command line tool also sets up the cgroups, fs, network at the same time. At present if you want to run a container in WSL you need a shim Linux image like docker-desktop, or install docker daemon / systemd on Ubuntu running under WSL to do this set up.

VirtualBox is a type 2 hypervisor. It incurs significantly larger overheads than running a container against a host's kernel where the processes in the container have very minimal overhead - some cgroup, fs & network overlays but otherwise they're running natively. In addition if I want to run multiple containers as a cluster and setting up all that would be a massive pain in the ass with a VM. Or if I want to build new containers or derive them from existing containers.

That's basically why docker & containerization are so popular for cloud development, CICD and so on. Microsoft presumably recognize its a legitimate use case to be able to launch a container directly rather than through a shim Linux (e.g. "docker-desktop") running under WSL.

I use WSL all of the time for AWS development and it works excellently. I'm able to run native Windows editors and various tools and software while still having a Linux command prompt (and graphical tools via WSLg) for development purposes. I use kubernetes, minikube, docker extensively. I develop containers for CICD and for deployment all from a single environment.

As for Microsoft's intentions, I would suggest it's because the reality is they've lost the war. Most of open source tools and cloud development is Linux based so instead of fighting it they're facilitating it while still providing a desktop that allows people to do Windows-y things at the same time.
