Alternatively we could hold back advancement of the human race because its too expensive and complicated to make sure every single copyright is respected.

Whole reason I quit the game years ago. The game is playable as a solo player in a world filled with other people UNTIL you hit the endgame. Then it suddenly becomes about politics, social standing, nepotism, schedules, responsibilities, team projects, and trying to get promoted / not screwed over. That's not how I want to spend my free time.

A GUI based OS is supposed to make my life easier and more streamlined. New versions should improve upon that goal. Currently Microsoft's focus is advertising and cross sales. Thats the thing I want LEAST im my OS. I would rather it crash than show me an ad or sell my data.

The Tesla superchargers won't let you go over 80% if it detects cars waiting and it charges a fee if you leave the car sitting inactive.

The problem with building more chargers is that most owners rarely use them. They can charge at home... Also if you need to use one regularly you're better off with an ICE car. Superchargers are expensive to use and despite Teslas claims, cause significant degradation.

We're migrating because windows 10 only has a year and a half till EOL. Might as well put it out on the new stuff instead dealing with it next year.

I just did the same yesterday. I went to log into my desktop and saw sports news and weather in the login screen. I considered the effort required to somehow remove all of the constantly added bloat, marketing, and spyware... Then looked at my steam deck.... And spent a few hours migrating over to Mint Linux. Formatted the windows drive completely. I don't know what my license key was... Don't care. Not going back to that exploitative relationship.

I work for a bank and I can tell you exactly how errors like this go in the US. If you are standing in line at the bank and ask for $100 but the teller screws up and hands you $1000.... If we can prove how much you were handed via the teller counting it out where the camera feed can see it, your balance will be adjusted to be true to what you got. If the camera didn't catch it and you won't admit it, well enjoy your $900. Digital transactions are much easier. No cameras and evidence involved. It all has a digital trail.

I would think AI would eventually be very good at biology, farming, manufacturing, education... and running companies... but at the end of the day you still need some people who can read and understand the computer code that's being used in the AI systems themselves. We obviously wont need as many, but I can't see it being harder hit than any other industry.

Its good when they make them have better practices, its wrong when they decide to fine them for past behavior they've now decided is unacceptable.

Pretty sure this thing's main use is defensive.

I'm sooooo tired of typing in my username and password for every little mundane task that requires admin privileges. Microsoft needs to do something to make it less of a chore.

meanwhile at my work we've been supplying people with paid hotspots if they have bad or no internet. Drives me nuts. We don't pick them up if their car is a POS! Then again, to be fair, we aren't having to supply them with an office, desk, parking, climate control, bathroom, coffee, etc..

The people defending work from home treat anyone who disagrees the same as if they're arguing over racism or gay rights. I'm surprised they haven't started trying to cancel people yet. Is this just how people are going to treat everything they advocate for now?

Its about making it inconvenient for his people so they care about whats happening.
