Since you are so forward thinking with your statement, what do you suggest we replace it with? Or are you just another parrot without a shred of real thought?

I love my steam deck and use it all the time. I have the original run model and it is still holding up great. I added emulation so I can play old console games on it, in addition to my Steam library. I can play games from the NES era right through to PS3. I play all kinds of games on it, from Super Mario Bros 3 to Super Mega Baseball. I find it is perfect for games in that mid range tier, things like Hades, Rayman Legends, Tony Hawk etc...

I have been using last.fm since 2008. I mainly use it to track/chart my listening habits. It is great for those who like statistics, see which bands you listen to most and when, trends in your plays. It is also handy to easily find bands you listen to who are in town, connect with people who have similar listening habits and just chat about music. Pretty much a Facebook for bands/artists, when Facebook was about connecting people (pre-like, wall, and corporations using it).

Soma.FM was great back in the day, when it was mainly Groove Salad.

Maybe I'm mistaken but the video linked in the summary looks like it is AI generated. With that said, I still agree with what Woz (real or not) is saying in the video. AI can be a handy tool, but use it as a tool, not a crutch. I find many people are using it as a crutch or a way to get them through life, not assist them. Instead of trying to solve a problem on their own, they instantly resort to AI and this is going to slowly kill their ability to think on their own. Just like those same people who rely so heavily on GPS when driving that they ignore their own eyes and drive into construction sites, into bodies of water, off cliffs, etc.

We are entering a very interesting time for the human race. I can see many good things happening from AI, like radical medical advancements or better ways to design products. But I can also see a large chunk of the population becoming absolutely dead weight and essentially mindless drones as they lose their ability to read, write, or even think clearly because they allow AI to do it for them.

They did it in gaming, so why not do it with an Operating System? I bet it would be a massive success. I can see it now... "Windows 7 Remaster"

As a non-american I thought this was a prerequisite to running for president in the USA....

You really think that not a single other person/company could think "hey what if we played this video over the internet instead of using physical media?"

I think it was inevitable. If Netflix didn't do it, some other startup or established company would have.

Don't worry, I'm sure the courts will hand Google the equivalent of a $20 fine and say "Play nice okay? Or next time it will be $25." with no other legal recourse.

I thought they went into HR.

Even Kilimanjaro isn't a big enough peak IMO. I have climbed numerous mountains including successfully climbing Kilimanjaro and I still wouldn't attempt Everest. Most people have no idea what the lack of oxygen does to the body and how it effects decision making. I didn't take any supplements (Diamox) when climbing and when at sea level my resting heart rate (RHR) is 54 bpm. When I was at Barafu camp (4600m) before pushing for the summit my RHR was 86 bpm. So imagine somebody not as physically fit as me, who's RHR is say 75 bpm at sea level, when at 4600m, their RHR would be over 100 bpm. Their body would be pushing itself like it was doing strenuous exercise at sea level while at rest. Now go out there and climb an additional 1000m+ to the summit. Everest would be an additional 3000m on top of that!!

While on the mountain I personally witnessed a few other climbers pass out and be literally dragged down the mountain by their guides. Things get pretty real, pretty fast the higher you go. People who attempt Everest as their first mountain are idiots and frankly I have no sympathy for their negligence. I'm often reminded of Shriya Shah-Klorfine a fellow Canadian, who died on Everest, who was grossly under qualified, yet insisted on making it to the top despite her guides telling her to turn around.

Install wine.

What do they consider a "crash"? I haven't experienced a full on core dump in Windows in years and usually when that would happen it was due to bad memory or some kind of hardware swap where a official driver wasn't installed. If a system is crashing on a regular basis in 2026 it is probably due to shitty hardware, questionable software installs, or an idiot operator.

I've seen some users consider a non-responsive application a "crash" and I've even seen people consider a website not loading (500, server side errors) as a computer crash that I must fix. So I think this is more an ad for Apple products than a genuine study. The article also states that Windows PC's also lag behind Mac's in security and lifespan. Which is self inflicted on Microsoft's part by planned obsolescence of millions of machines that were perfectly fine before Windows 11.

Only because if anything goes wrong with the Macbook Neo it is easier and cheaper to throw it out and go buy a new one than to get it repaired.

You do realize that Hitler wasn't a communist right? He was on the OPPOSITE side of the political spectrum and is generally considered a Fascist.

And why is this a problem? Many people don't even need a "real OS" in 2026. Most of the things an average user interacts with are browser and cloud based. You don't need a full blown OS for that. I'm not saying that we should just scrap desktop OS's completely, it's they just aren't needed like they were say 10 years ago for many people.
