Well, basically yes, thsts where its going.

He can't let anyone use it for gov stuff anyway or cia gets to read whats on there.

But look euro countries are thinking of moving governance out of MS now too due to trump crossing the line publicly of ordering ms around.

Was anyone buying ipods in the latter years when they were just idevices without the phone and they just started making the smaller version of ipad anyway then.

Yes inherently its just running on the customers computer anyway, so they don't actually have control.

Not sending other players locations when not necessary etc would be cooler.

And you can cheat by off-device means anyway, you can do an aimbot that doesn't run any code on the computer now.

Wow came out like a decade after my bank at the time had 2fa.

Sure at first it was over telnet and phone lines so it wasn't terribly secure at first..

To teach you don't need massive amounts of content, lessons don't need to be superfacially unique at all, they're scalable on their own.

The need to make new books for schools etc every year is based just on the need to sell them too, basics of languages do not change every year, a student doesn't benefit from unlimited amounts of basic class learning material.

I have thousands of emails in my Inbox. For the 10 minutes I tried New Outlook, the POS kept on loading the emails by small batches, making me scroll to the end of the batch before loading the next. It would have taken me a day to reach the other end.

Helloworld.exe became hello_world.py

If a Sunday pilot like me can understand the destination code at first read, it's not "intelligent"

Thats not entirely true. To update an old ios app to be uploadable into the store is significant amount of work due to apple themselves deprecating stuff and requiring you use a newer xcode. You can't just "update the api call" and expect it to be publishable.

You can only download, put it on the device and read it as long as they decide that they and by extension you have the right to read the book.

You're just renting an access to the book with the drm. Under terms that aren't clear to you since you don't know these dates and contracts that they have with the creator and publisher.

Raoult has been for 5 years the idol of the educated. I suspect he would never had been famous if not for some clickbait Facebook posts with titles that would be easily mistaken for boomer traps nowadays, à la "He cures the Covid with this one weird trick, siontists hate him". It was clear from the beginning his claims were easy to disprove, but even then "I wouldn't even qualify for a first-aid Red Cross course"-types took it to the extreme and were happy to almost litterally drink bleach because it looked a similar treatement to his fungicide miracle cure. With no effect or at best on par with the null hypothesis.

The data, including the crypto credentials or whatever that shit it called, were worth pennies to the owner. They were at the time. That's actually the capital that he put into it.
These x bitcoins were de facto written off. The total supply is no longer 21M, it's 21M - (everyone's lost x). The total capitalization is based on 21M - (everyone's lost x) - (what's left to be mined).
If these x bitcoins are found back, it will de facto be like printing money, and will cause bitcoin inflation.

The existential threat implied is a bit different to what a sql database did to office workers.

The junky overhead makes it so that you'll end up with the same problems with containers.

The % being low doesn't mean anything, it just means people don't terminate and it could be due to the fees or not.

Rolling out a new version for "reasons" is way too common nowadays without the new version having feature parity with the old version.

Often just for a design refresh that could have been done on the old one just as well! And the new versions supposed to then be easier to maintain, but has some architecture that actually makes it hard to do the missing features due to choosing an architecture thats in fashion rather than an architecture for the codebase that suits the application being made, a non-architecture if you will.

Would you consider that a rendering engine, a git client, a bank app and a drawing app all should have the same structure and philosophy in regards of data and interface code? Probably not but thats the world we're living in. I'm sure they got tests for checking that the network codes middle classes though so it has yk be working correctly (that parse the data into an object that gets converted with a converter class to an object that gets used for the data for the ui).

So it's not that it feels like legacy software, it feels like new software!
