You really don’t understand how Blu-ray works, do you?

Regarding Blu-ray as a medium for movies: Sony isn’t able do that kind of damage.

Blu-ray Association would go bananas:

Why are you worried about Sony owning the blu-ray format?

Here we go again…

Five Guys have a vanilla milkshake till bacon … Yummmmm

Ok my god. I had an Samsung Omnia 7 and I loved the Metro UI.

Remote Desktop to a Windows 2008 Server and try to open the Start Menu by clicking a single pixel in the left lower corner… Shoot me.

Going public introduces shareholders that prioritizes return on investment as opposed to making technology and knowledge about technology accessible for many.

It doesn’t always end this way but often enough to worry about it…

Just curious… What are your expectations for sanctions that have been in effect for a year or so?

You have an impression about what they don’t talk about on TV based on that you don’t watch TV?

They are extremely toothless in the sense of making continuation of the war less interesting.

If it was “toothless”, Putin and his propaganda machinery wouldn’t bother commenting on it so often.

In many cases it’s doing business and not just the payment!/compansation that the sanctions is about.

Apple could have tried to work with them and said something like “We’ll pay when the embargo ends”

…aaaaand that would most likely be trying to circumvent the sanctions by essentially receiving credit from Kaspersky on delivered services.

Not saying the situation is optional, but the sanctions would be extremely toothless if it was that easy to circumvent.

So Microsoft is essentially doing what Google and Apple have been doing for years and we think Microsoft are anti consumer because of this?

I’m pretty sure they essentially are “one time use” only.

Extremely simplified:

They run for 20-30 years without refueling, which means the reactors/system could be built more compact, a higher level of safety and require less maintenance / monitoring / fine-tuning.

All those parameters are connected in an equation which means if you want higher safety you have to make another parameter “worse”. By making the system “one time use” you set the “refuelability” and “repairability” parameters to the lowest and can therefore up the other parameters.

Also, military requirements are very different from civilian.

Did you just try to angle my comment to be about people with disabilities being less capable and/or of less value?

What I countered was a claim where the first part stated that everyone has a life, which is just not true. For the second part of the claim to have any value in the sentence, the first part has to be true. Which it wasn’t.

Whether I read it wrong or not doesn’t change the fact that I never limited my statement to be about people with disabilities or disabilities automatically taking the life away from people.

So I stand by my claim, that not everyone of the 8 billion living in this planet has a life and people that care about them.

I’m pretty sure not everyone has a life and people who cares about them.

Yup, They did.

Why wait with the switch until 2025?

Well, at least when you used to buy windows you were the user and the customer.

With Google you’re just the product.

I’d argue that Windows 11 is a result of what Google has been getting away with Android.

Google has shown Microsoft that the users happily pay money for giving up the control of their device. While Android was open 10 years ago, Google has worked hard to lock it down for 99% of the end users. The amount of personal data they get from each device is staggering.
