It's not really about Microsoft. Increasingly, Europe sees the US as a potential threat who blackmails allies, even a potential invader, rather than an ally.

Literally just yesterday the US shut off intel-sharing to Ukraine (which mainly helps with targeting incoming drones) and blocked all Starlink terminals in Ukraine moving faster than 100kph (e.g. terminals on air-defense interceptor drones), both in effect dramatically hurting Ukraine's ability to defend against Russia's nightly drone waves - all in order to pressure Ukraine into stopping striking Russian oil refineries while Trump seeks to buy more Russian oil and Russia keeps strikig Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

We all know that the US could do this sort of stuff to any of us. We have to move US companies out of our critical paths.

Once upon a time, when the US called for aid after 9/11, Europe stood up. More Danes died per capita fighting in Afghanistan, in a war that was not their own, than Americans did. This year, Denmark was rapidly rushing explosives and bags of blood to Greenland to prepare for firefights against invading US forces.

All of Europe got the message. We're not dining with friends - we're on the menu.

Everybody wants to make the next new thing. Most people don't want to contribute to the thing that's already developing. That's why we have so many abandoned projects, people try to do the new thing and then find out that it's hard. On the other hand, intelligent people aren't going to take a bunch of uncopyrightable and possibly copyright-poisoned code into their projects, so this AI time can't really help those projects along either. All it can safely be used for is throwaways. Who's going to spend real time making sure those work correctly?

Those GPUs are still selling used for $300 or more. That's just too much to spend for a card that's damn near 7 years old now.

The average user already has one.

I'm feeling much better about buying a 4060 Ti 16GB than right after I bought it. I chose it to get a card with CUDA support and also decent VRAM, I mostly play older games so it's generally enough GPU for me. Since nobody can afford to upgrade, it's remained above average spec, and therefore even new games are still being made such that they will run well on it.
