Library of Alexandria burning down for the modern era

That requires the valuation to drop. A ton of people just go with what they know and are only fuelling it, creatures of habit and convenience and whatnot.

Agreed. You’re at the mercy of your USB controllers as well as southbridge in that case.

You’re adding more things that can go wrong.

Generally HBA/RAID cards are usually built for enterprise rather than consumer so they’re usually more reliable as well.

Definitely. They’ve gone for the stick instead of the carrot if they’re looking to juice PSN numbers, and gamers are a notoriously outspoken bunch.

How they thought this would just fly without an uproar after such a great launch is way beyond me.

Hell you can even just change desktop environments to shake things up as well.

If this is black magic, will I be subject to some sort of witch trial in the near future?

And it’s a million times better for people trying to troubleshoot.

1 forum post can solve many problems, rather than having to have each person ask in a support chat that’s not searchable.

At that point why not run a WDS

I did this today. Was trying to get a searxng instance running on oracle cloud’s free tier, but it’s so doggedly slow between OS, docker, searxng, that it’s useless and locks up all the time.

And their free ARM option never has availability so I just deleted the instance and started a new one with great speed to burn through my free credits.

Which is one of the only good reasons to still go to the site

“Bots!” Musk yelled, as if conjuring them up.

A war against them he declared, but really, he was just building his own army it seems.

The best part was not feeling like I should be doing something else.

I felt like sitting my lazy ass on the couch watching movies and eating popcorn was exactly where I was supposed to be for once.

There’s no way they’re this stupid, right?

You can piss off the rich folks, but most regular people won’t care most of the time, especially since people don’t give a flying fuck about their data privacy anyway, but this is the point where you really put a target on your back.

Stick to casinos, finance and market makers, the general public won’t bat an eye. Go after kids at a non profit? Well good luck, no one is even pretending to be on your side anymore.

How? Human error.

Why? Microsoft is just that kind of company and always has been. Their t’s aren’t crossed and i’s aren’t dotted, and people buy their shit because they’re used to it.

Hard disagree.

With Windows you’re paying Microsoft for the privilege of them turning on a vacuum for all your private data AND showing you ads as well.

If anything Windows is worse than MacOS from that standpoint at this point, and both companies need a huge about face for anti-competitive behaviour.

The only thing these companies care about is money. These fines need to have teeth to actually make them change.

Not to mention that we’ve been living in a business and economic environment where Fortune 500 companies have been getting it easy both ways. They’re able to work with impunity AND they lobby the hell out of governments to leave them alone.

This money could actually start to swing stuff towards the consumer again, rather than this new world where regular people seem to be fighting against the rich, corporations, and governments all at the same time. Although it could be said that those three entities are one and the same.

Fuck everyone else, you got yours, right?

FOH

Yea what kind of privacy and amenities are provided?

Is this going to introduce “body tracking” similar to oculus hand tracking so it knows where the body is for it to become an AR wank? That’d be a game changer if VR wank.

Because a significant amount of our economy and daily life is predicated on filling it with superfluous crap. These ads are just a race for crap de jour.
