That’s pretty much the main thing, through they keep trying to slip shit it like the recall function, ads in new places. They also had some real trouble with the new internal CPU management, not sure where that is these days.

Honestly I’m tired of Microsoft pulling this shit. Personally I can take a bad OS launch or needing a little more maintaince on my PC, but I don’t want to fight them anymore for control of my own hardware.

Good fucking luck, the hardware will likely be a 2022 tablet if the switch is anything to go off of. Considering as well the console will likely have similar architecture, and switch emulators already exist, I’d give it about 3 months.

Concrete goals, and reasonable steps to achieve them.

I feel like lately we’ve hit a weird speculative investment period in tech, where we have a bunch of tech that’s created because it can be, but not because it’s needed. Do LLMs, crypto currency, or NFTs have actual uses? Very possibly, but nothing concrete enough to satisfy the bubble that formed from them.

We live in an age of unreality. Give us something achievable and genuine, we get excited. It doesn’t have to be complicated, just real. Hell, I’m excited as fuck over solid sodium batteries, and that’s boring as shit.

I legit have never been more happy to be unemployed.

Iirc literally the nuclear launch systems? I’ll see if I can find the article.

Edit: not anymore, but as recent as about 2019ish. Can’t imagine they’re the only ancient infrastructure still using this level of technology though. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/us/nuclear-weapons-floppy-disks.html

I don’t hate the technology, I hate that I cannot chose where and when to use it. Consent is quite important.

God I hope so, but the next thing will likely be even more stupid than this, NFTs and crypto.

Stupid as this is, at least he worked it out? I’m a little impressed.

I agree with this. We already have a situation where we don’t have feasible alternatives to the primary method, Google search comes to mind. With Linux, even if every company in the world goes down, nerds will still want to play with the technology.

Oh for sure, I was kind of meaning the whole concept of worth and how we’ve become this weird cult of potential worshipping tech priests, but yes also that.

God I’m fucking sick of this loss leading speculative investment bullshit. It’s hit some bizarre zenith that has infected everybody in the tech world, but nobody has any actual intention of being practical in the making of money, or the functionality of the product. I feel like we should just can the whole damned thing and start again.

Random story, in one mission while I was searching a database for a client, I fat fingered the name and it gave me back a different person’s record

IT WAS MY FULL REAL LIFE NAME

Spooked the shit out of me.

Honestly with how that company is going you might be better off getting a cheap rig and installing your favourite flavour of Linux. I’m still salty their implementation of surround sound and video decoding can’t use the actual power of the chip it’s running on.

Fuck me sometimes I felt like I was the only person on the planet to play that game

God you’re right and it depresses me

That’s pretty much it yeah

Heh, Darth Vader is an imperial unit.

Can’t help but feel like we’re getting there already with most sites having the exact same problem. I think Facebook might be the only site that actually makes money due to always prioritising money, everyone else has dominated the market by operating at a loss for the past 2 decades and now suddenly oops we decided we need money.

Hey dumbasses maybe don’t let a loose llm represent your company if you can’t control what it’s saying. It’s not a real person, you can’t throw blame to a non sentient being.
