Why won't Microsoft let us upgrade to 11? Security (or so they say). What could be less secure than 400 million Windows 10 machines with no updates? What is more secure? Old machines without TPM on Windows 11. Let everybody upgrade and stop this! Microsoft gets some upgrade money and corporations are basically still as secure as they have been on 10. Windows 11 is serious malware for sure, but it is not going away, nor is 12. The way this transition is being handled is unethical, an environmental nightmare, and as usual makes Microsoft's customers super busy with pointless changes.

Is this what we want? AI, a non-emotional machine, deciding what emotions we are feeling and what constitutes a pattern? What possible benefit is there is caring about an artificial evaluation system created by computers? It still seems to me knowing what other people listen to that is similar to what you do is far more rational approach.

Where is the data for these conclusions? Apparently he thinks people can't learn remotely which actually is a great way to learn. One thing iI have found about professors is that they may have authority, but their expertise diminishes quickly over time these these days.

So what are these "really good reasons?" What disaster are we enduring aside from Windows as designed? What happened to no more versions of Windows?

This is so opaque I don't think users will ever know what their data is being used for across all the megaplatforms. The data doesn't even have to be stored very long for AI, just used in training. Where the data is physically is becoming less relevant since accessing it is so accessible to anyone with a few bucks, regardless of "demands". It is almost guaranteed these days that the companies we use daily are trying to evade preserving privacy as much as possible for monetization in many other ways. We barely see the curtain, much less pull it back.

RISC-V is open source, not based in the US, and has the potential to completely change the economics of the processor market. This is why the U.S. government considers the technology a threat to national security and may try to suppress its adoption. There is a lot of fear around China having a first class processor option to produce. The processor architecture should perform as well anything else given the right foundry, so it seems possible that if the folks at AheadComputing have some innovative ideas, they might actually be able to leap ahead a bit. Changing the market is another story though, and it's hard to picture much change anytime soon.

ChatGPT sounds like Pam Bondi talking to Trump last week. People actually fall for this type of talk all the time, It seems like manipulation might be a feature of AI that we haven't been told about. In this climate, that would be a likely goal.

Is this not whining at it's best? Swearing must make it seem important. Human expression in filesystems? Sure. The reason PC's and Windows started with case insensitivity is that back in the day it was almost impossible to support pcs and having every command line in mixed case is a nightmare on the phone. You may not like it, but any OS with an X at the end was generally considered to be a support nightmare back then. Has much changed today?

"undeniably good". I take you think you know a lot about the state of the Defense Department IT systems. Guess what? They are a nightmare. An huge organization that is supposed to be increasingly nimble needs system support. In retail ignoring this is a death sentence. All this warfighting talk. Wars are won through logistics and technology. Money should be allocated appropriately. Maybe this is appropriate, we'll never know. Taking action for sound bites and to suck up to the orange boss is clear failure though.

I believe not trusting the mainstream media due to bias is naive. All reporting is biased. Small nobodies reporting are even more biased and frequently based on lies put out there on the net. This is not a right or left thing. Some outlets lie, some omit, some pretend to know the truth, other are trying to make up the truth. I believe the third estate SHOULD be biased. Talk truth to power. Put it all out there and let people decide. Don't let money or politicians rule the news cycle. Lots of what is being proposed in terms of censorship these days is pure socialism. Most people don't even get that, so as much information as possible would be useful if we expect people to think critically.

I would love to serialize my brain into a radio stream and go visit a faraway place at the speed of light. I'll UPS a UFO there first so I can get around.

Sure, I'll take the Wright flyer for firewood please.

It would be great to save this bit of history for the future. It is an irreplaceable relic that probably won't degrade too much over time. I get that we are in a gravity well, but we are talking about SpaceX. If someone knows the data, it would great to know how many raptors it would take to tuck away the station in higher orbit.

The whole Nvidia product line is based on killer MatMul. Now we may have a sea change in hardware and an open source framework to go with it. It seems like this may pop the market bubble in tech but anything to do with implementation is probably going to take off bigly.

This description of Recall sounds like they are feeding everything you do into an LLM that is supposed to help you. Every bad response to Recall is completely approriate IMHO and I also have wonder if MS takes all this knowlege for their own purposes somehow. Can they export the AI digested version of this and claim it's not the original screenshots, actions etc.? I would love to know what MS gets out of this if someone have some info. I can't see how Recall is a "feature" and I doubt it's for the users.
