Comment Tablets and apple computers (Score 4, Insightful) 108

These devices are designed from the ground up to hide as much as possible the inner workings of the OS, programming and all that, specially the tablets.
They're pretty much the complete opposite of what you need to have kids learn the "working around" skills you need to be actually good at computers.

Comment Xbox? (Score 0) 65

Xbox is that thing that microsoft probably seem as "the thing consumers force us to have".
If was what microsoft actually wanted, Xbox would not exist, and instead they would have a dominant online marketstore built-in to windows where people buy all their everything, instead of something like steam existing.
Dumbass consumers choosing something that is more or less good for em instead of something that is good for microsoft.

It can do either 60 frames per second OR 4k, and use a bunch of upscaling to do so.
However we can't do much better for the price because the price of the wafer is going up on each new manufacturing process instead of staying the same as it was from 1970 to 2010.
To make a non-disappointing new generation, they would need to do something more than "die shrink", like tiles/chiplets or even some technique that does not exist right now.

I could play this game and claim that china and the anti-nuclear propaganda are a massive contributor to that, but shit gets complicated quite quickly.
Of course, turning on the coal power plants and blocking green energy don't help at all, and the AI craze DEFINITIVELY does not help at all.
We probably will have to do some crazy shit like filling the oceans with salp at this point.
