>"The complaint also requests an order requiring Microsoft's advertising "to disclose clearly and prominently the approximate end-of-support date[...]"

That I could get behind. Consumer education and disclosure is always good. Of course, how many will actually read all that is another issue.

This is what is known as a frivolous suit. Microsoft have always maintained a lifecycle list for all it's products, Windows 10 included. There's a whole section of their website dedicated to it where you can search by specific product version: https://learn.microsoft.com/en...

Comment Re:Year Of Linux On The Desktop (Score 1) 121

Many systems running Windows are used in the same situations. Windows is perfectly fine when put in a system with controlled updates, controlled choice of drivers, and don't spend your time. Browsing the internet for malware to hit your system. The Windows kernel is actually quite a tight piece of code and that is reflected in the fact that most people haven't seen a bluescreen in a decade, it's just the userland above it sucks balls.

I think the OP was reflecting on the fact that the user doesn't care what the developer says, all they ever see of their OS is the desktop environment. I'm sure there's just as many people at Microsoft calling each other's code rubbish on the internal Teams server, probably while complaining about said Teams server.

Comment Re:How stupid do they think the hunters are? (Score 1) 49

And how do you know how many hunters are also MAGA? Is there something they have to list on their application for a hunting license that tells you they're MAGA, or are you just throwing insults a people you've never met because you (I presume) don't approve of hunting?

No, it's just common knowledge that the interests and hobbies of hunting align the most with republican voters. As do the states where the hobbies are most prevalent and the concerns about gun / hunting laws are republican voter issues they align with against democrats.

I mean I know this, ... I'm not even American, that's how common that knowledge is. I didn't say all hunters are MAGA or all MAGA are hunters, if you assumed I said that then maybe you know less about English than you do about hunting in America.

You're applying American thinking to somewhere not in America. What you consider private is not relevant. Your face isn't private, but that doesn't mean in Germany the faces aren't blurred out as people are captured by street cameras.

Having laws to keep information in a certain country is a good thing. But also you're knowledge of the issue is lacking given that all street names are listed in South Korea already. There's more to this than you want to admit.

Comment Re:Forget the AI! (Score 1) 128

Exactly this! WTF?!? strip searched, weeks of house arrest, alternative school (read juvie school) and a psych eval for a 13 year old acting like a 13 year old?

Multiple violations of the constitution and a judge with an extra hole or two in his/her head. At MOST she violated a school rule, but school rules can't and shouldn't lead to house arrest (or full on arrest, incommunicado no less, or strip searches).

The judge should be arrested and removed from the bench!.

I sincerely hope the parents talk to the ACLU.

Even at it's worst, the Stasi wouldn't have even done this (since she was 13 and didn't say anything against the government).

Comment Re:Smartwatches are still awesome (Score 1) 57

Then you've read incorrectly. SpO2 under 90% is a sign of underlying health problems that can cause long term issue without any distress.

You're looking at this as an acute symptom of trauma to the body. It's the wrong way to go researching about this. Instead think of it more like obesity, it's a long term factor of health problems. Do those searches and you'll find SpO2 as an advanced indicator that is best measured not felt.

Comment Re:Megawatt-hours (Score 1) 99

but that nuke can run continuously for weeks, months.

And that is a problem, not a benefit. There is far FAR more to running a grid than providing a large baseload. This isn't the 1890s anymore. In fact a large VPP would be a great thing to combine with a *small* nuclear plant.
