I don’t remember the last time I had search/browsing history enabled.

One of the few non-major American cities I recognize instantly. This one from… a lot of true crime documentaries. Great to know the roads are improving though!

That’s wallpaper material right there. Now give us a source to a 4k image.

Wait till you hear how much power over the entirety of South Korea Samsung had before this spike in profit…

Don’t underestimate my 10000 hours in counter strike, half of which was playing as terrorists!

How can they stop people from just sending encrypted messages?

Framework is great, but it’s just so insanely expensive.

I was buying a new laptop about 2 years ago. A framework one cost more than twice the price of a regular ultrabook with comparable (but better) specs.

Sure, you pay more for a Framework, and you can upgrade it later instead of buying a new laptop. Makes sense, but even then - a Framework one is more expensive than 2 laptops with similar specs. It only gets cheaper on the third upgrade. Which for me may be 10 years away.

Personally I’m not thrilled about investing in a laptop that will pay off in a decade. Who knows what laptops will be like by that time. Hell, it’s not unconceivable that devices like Framework will be outlawed. Or that Framework goes out of business.

It might make sense for people who upgrade often, but I don’t. Or for people who don’t, but are wealthy enough to pay the premium anyway. If anything, I feel like having a Framework would make me want to upgrade more often, which would be a waste of money.

I think you’re underestimating how clueless and braindead executives can be.

Clearly he’s antagonizing hard workers by supporting lazy parasites that do nothing but take social support money and spend it on alcohol. This is how America dies. /s

As if the UK isn’t implementing shit like this on its own, years before the EU does lol

Oh, I didn’t mean the guy specifically, but the idea of keeping someone ‘alive’ like this in general.

A quick look at his Wikipedia page tells me he wasn’t a good guy, but this is still sick. My stomach twisted a little when I read this.

The country that invented the internet… has the worst internet infrastructure in the developed world. Worse than some developing countries too. Astonishing.

I can also fit some of the largest LLMs on my phone. Where is all that AI investment going to???

Don’t tempt him. One call is all it takes for Fifa to suddenly declare that actually the USA won. Turns out refs missed 87 fouls by the Belgian team.

Are you suggesting Fifa or football in general wasn’t already shit?

It’s almost as if having a monopoly means you don’t have to ensure your services work properly.

A lot of, perhaps all of, those games are predatory money extractors that are deliberately designed to be as addictive as possible, just like a casino.

Sticking to Windows to play them is like saying you need a car, because there are no bus stops near the casino. True, but should you really be going there in the first place?

I mean ‘we’ as everyone collectively, as society. It’s just manner of speaking. I wasn’t even alive for most of the time frame mentioned, so I’m perfectly aware not everyone was actually able to ‘listen’ to the warnings.

Windows losing noticeable numbers of users is a huge net gain for society. Hopefully it continues, regardless of Microslop’s actions.
