Investors matter to a public company like Microsoft. They grew from a 300 billion dollar company to a 3-4 trillion dollar company under Satya. By that metric he was a success. Did any of this trickle down to a better more secure corporate environment? Not even a little. Windows is absolutely an afterthought to MS these days, and it has gotten worse with each update as it tries to push paid services on the end user.

If I steal a truckload of books so I can read them, it doesn't change the fact that I stole a truckload of books. Maybe the reading of the books wasn't the crime, but that is not what this lawsuit is about. This is about infringing copyright on millions of books, not about reading those books.

Do you honestly think the only reason people are prescribed ketamine is for PTSD? Do a quick bit of research and learn something. The rest of your comment is equally gibberish.

Starvation and famine might lead to a war. My tomato having less nutrients is a hidden affect most people won't notice as log as they are sated. It's a gradual onset of of a problem that no one notices until they are diabetic down the road.

Who is going to support the devices? Schools use Chromebooks because they are essentially a browser that needs no support. Apple laptops need support. They lost the education market due to costs around support, not because Chromebooks are better.

You're probably right. There was nothing in the 2016 DNC Wikileaks that pointed to anti-bernie sentiment or a pro hillary agenda. Nobody resigned in disgrace and it was all a conspiracy. I didn't discuss the 2020 election, just the 2016 and the 2024 where there was questionable behavior.

Does it matter who you voted for? The WIKILeaks DNC leak clearly showed that they didn't care who you voted for in the primaries Hillary was getting the nod in some powerplay. Then you had no choice to vote for anyone but Kamala in the last election. Voting is an act.

They defunded the predecessor the TIA by a vote in congress in 2003. It can be done again if people actually cared. If Snowden revealing the depths the NSA was probing it's own citizens didn't wake anyone up, it likely never will.

They failed as a shoe company and they decided to pivot in to the AI space and their stock grew %700 that day. This is reminiscent of the dotcom bubble and when it burst. Nobody asked you to care about their thoughts on AI. In fact the point is; why would they have valuable thoughts on AI? They wouldn't, and there is no valid reason their stock went up %700 percent other than hype train.

This shouldn't need to be pointed out. The very nature of collecting location data is an investigation In this scenario every person with a cell phone is investigated.

They did this against Kevin Mitnick in the 80s. You should turn your nerd card at the door on your way out. You've lost your street cred.

It certainly looks like the secret agreement by the DOJ sold the entire lawsuit and US down the river. Ticketmaster gets 15% of all ticket sales and 13 amphitheaters in the US can divest themselves of exclusive booking. I assume this doesn't change a bit what their processing fees and handling fees add above the actual ticket price. On top of all of that, this legitimizes all of the worst behaviors this company had as a newly legalized form of customer fisting.

Trying to portray this in a lens of partisan media serves as misdirection from the actual point. No media is looking at this and showing it as a healthy signifier of anything. This should be a humorous but sobering wakeup call on all fronts.

So the failing New Zealand founded eco-friendly climate protecting shoe company pivoting to AI only looks bad because it is a right wing media conspiracy? I am not sure you have thought about this or much else in your reply.

This is evidence that AI has a giant bubble and a failing shoe store seeing it's stock go up %700 is evidence of the insanity around AI. This is not about politics this is economics and it should be sobering to those propping this bubble up.

The whole idea and hope behind AI was artificial intelligence. Why should intelligence be guided / be told how to be spiritual?
