Maybe you're just not old enough ;) I don't have a garage, but I could imagine if you use it for parking it would be annoying to get in and out of the car 4x a day to close it would be annoying.

Its always been a turd.

Its corporate directives - ultimately its about pumping company valuation for which new money is sexier than old money. In Microsoft's case their stock valuation is predicated upon AI, so anything else is de-prioritized.

To me, it isn't just Microsoft the software industry is rife with the problem. Maintenance has been deprioritized in the corporate world in favour of ticking new boxes.

Oddly I was thinking about this the other day. I have a vague recollection of hearing stories of McDonald's at one point being proud about how their executives would have come up through the business as a fry cook in high school, manager, etc. I suspect this is no longer true their, or really anywhere in corporate america. One wonders whether corporations would do better if their senior management actually had experience in the business they worked in.

As a long time AMD user I feel this isn't necessarily fair. Intel did cheat with their compiler, but I think the whole industry wasn't careful enough with chip design but hadn't yet faced the close scrutiny that had been happening for 20-years on the software side.

Internal politics are well within the control of the CEO, if he didn't address them its on him. That said, my impression has been that the root of Intel's problems is that something went awry in their fabs around a decade ago. Intel went from leading the industry in chip manufacturing to stagnating.

I dunno, maybe Broadcomm will buy them and create a vortex of scumbags

Grifters buy names people recognize and prey on the unsophisticated.

I'm a nigerian prince and wish to invest....

I don't know, personally if the developer can't be bothered to invest in writing bespoke text, then I'm not going to bother investing in reading it. This is already my MO for quests, if its a generated templatized quest without unique writing I don't bother with them.

Is any website/app social media now?

It depends on what you mean by fine. Nvidia isn't likely too go anywhere, but if LLMs go poof then they'll see a drastic decline in valuation.

Mining hardware would be a lot more expensive than a simple heater. And if a meaningful number of people started to do it then the BTC return would tank.
