Welcome to the 1%. 😋
Yes there are some that switch, and also kudos to those who try, even when they find it’s not for them.
I’m just sad that the problems with Windows isn’t enough for more to abandon it? I simply don’t get “normal” people.

Backlash is actually losing business, what they are really getting is a lot of whining from people who never do anything anyway.
It was the same with Windows 95, XP, then Vista, then 8 and 10 and now 11.
Very few who are used to Windows will abandon it just because it’s becoming a surveillance hellscape of forced updates, advertising and other annoyances.
Microsoft is posting record profits on their way down, just like Intel did 10 years ago.
That said Microsoft is still in a better position, and while Windows may lose relevancy, Microsoft has way more revenue coming from other sources than Intel had without X86.


AFAIK nobody has died in a Waymo, and they have a very low accident rate, lower than human drivers. Calling it a suicide carriage is just not reflecting reality in any way.


Yes we are, Trump is building up Hitler/Putin style. Taking control of secret and security services and using ICE too against both judges and police that object.
USA will not remain a democracy unless something serious is done within 3 years.
But even dictators with strong police and military backup can be overthrown if the people rebel in big enough numbers.
No security system can hold against the masses of the population.
It looks more an more like that’s where USA is heading. Maybe Trump is too stupid to see it, he may actually just be manipulated by people around and behind him, who really wants STRONG leadership, which they imagine means fascist dictatorship.
It’s scary how a country that for many many lifetimes claimed democracy as one its biggest virtues, can fall so far so fast.
It’s also scary how a country that consider the constitution almost as holy scripture, doesn’t give a shit about the most crucial cornerstones of that constitution.
Originally it was all based on the ideals of the declaration of independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights
And now weer have Nazi America.


The ruling class is decided by the majority, USA could change it any time they want to.
And I don’t mean by election with only 2 options.


IDK, this reeks of: Now we won a bunch of elections, so no need to continue the fight.
I would think the massive victories Democrats enjoyed, would have shown that the population support when the Democrats are fighting.
But apparently Democrats are incapable of staying the course, and are doomed to be trampled by the Republicans every time.
David Hogg was 100% right, Democrats need change, and to “to take on “ineffective” Democratic incumbents.” And the Democratic leadership preventing his efforts were a travesty.

Seems like USA has zero democratic parties represented now, as in parties that actually support democracy.


Yes, it will definitely not be the 1% that eliminate poverty, but when a majority decides to do so.


Optimus will finally make it possible for us (the 1%) to eliminate poverty for 2 reasons: First because we don’t need the poor anymore for manual labor, and second because with Optimus we can automate their extermination.


It was not just “not Trump”, it was “not insane”, and not threatening to tear down democracy and destroy healthcare and the economy. It was business as usual over sociopathy.
The choice should have been clear. But too many Americans are sociopaths, and chose to really stick it to the minorities until they die. Americans voted for Trump not despite he is a sociopath, but because of it. Americans want revenge for their lousy lives more than they want to improve things for everybody.
The Dems won other places than New York.


Although in-car computing is not the highest end of chips, because these are not for learning, but for execution of what was learned by way higher end server systems.
Still this shows that there is market share to be lost for American companies in the mass market of AI clients. And the logical step is to evolve these chips to server grade 5 to 10 years into the future.
The irony is that the Chinese industry actually wanted to use leading American chips, but USA has prevented that, forcing China to develop as much and as fast as they can to replace American chips. It was always the Chinese government that tried to encourage local Chinese development and use of AI chips, while most of the industry was reluctant.
But recent developments have made it clear to the Chinese industry that they have to have a homegrown option, because they can’t trust USA to deliver, despite China pays full price, and it helps American companies to stay ahead to supply to China too, as it helps pay for the necessary R&D.
So now you acknowledge that yes it has actually mutated, and no it is not random.
Thanks.
No not randomly, but cannabis today is different and way stronger than it used to be. Because new strains are continuously selected.
OK, it used to be, but methods have apparently changed.
If this is about cannabis this is bullshit, the THC needs to be warmed to be activated.
It has near zero effect without being activated.
There’s a reason you either smoke it or bake it.
OK, now I get it, the first frame is preheated cannabis in butter.


I think the point is to make money.


The won’t is irrelevant because they can’t, the American anti terror law, gives major rights to any American security agency and even ordinary police to demand data. The only hurdle is a court order. And the agencies have their own anti terror courts that ONLY work with the agencies and only get their info from same agencies, because they are supposed to work in secret it can’t be taken outside.
Faced with such a court order, the company is forced to keep it secret too, and they cannot defend themselves, except to the secret court that works closely with the agencies!
And it’s the same for Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and any other American company. Microsoft has just admitted it, which isn’t even necessary since this info was revealed by Edward Snowden just over a decade ago.
And Obama claimed USA had found a fair balance, the fair balance being that the government services can do just about whatever the fuck they want.
Microsoft even admitting this is probably bordering on being illegal, as this is supposed to be a secret, although anyone interested can look it up.


No one starved due to lock-downs.
Not true, the pandemic caused major inflation, doing the same for a prolonged period of time would be devastating.
But there are ways we can cut CO2 without increasing inflation. Like make the use of private jets illegal.
USA could cut their CO2 in half by following the model Denmark has developed since the 70’s.
Denmark has higher industrial and agricultural production than USA, and has more data centers per capita than USA, yet we only release half the CO2 per capita. And that’s without using nuclear!


And demand telemetry removed from all US services and products.
As it is now it’s illegal to collect on children, but it should simply be completely illegal.


No they can’t, they never could, and it’s way way overdue for EU to finally wake up to the reality that all US owned cloud services are factually illegal for any European (EU) authority to use, from kindergartens to courts and everything in between.
It is also illegal for any private company operating in EU to hold any user/customer/personnel data on servers owned by American companies.
I’ve been saying this for more than 8 years now! Because this became apparent already under Obama, that the US government can demand, any data in any country held by any American company, to be handed over. Furthermore they can do this in secret under anti terror laws. And the companies affected are not allowed to mention anything to anybody, under regulation of steep penalties.
This was what Obama claimed was a balanced approach!
And the Republicans are worse!
And now it is very apparent that the checks and balances don’t even work. The current American administration will do whatever they want, and worry about legality later. And threaten any opposition with secrecy under national security and anti terror laws.
Keep way way away from any American form of server/digital service and especially cloud services.
And also keep away from American telemetry. Which all ought to be illegal in EU.
It would make a hell of a lot of sense if Epstein worked for Mossad. It could also explain how Israel continuously has evaded backlash from USA.
