You say turned around, I say ruined. He’s just remaking it into another IBM by selling services and killing anything innovative or creative.

No thanks.

It’s Microsoft’s current CEO. All he is interested in is subscription revenue. Xbox hardware is next to go.

Breaking up Microsoft would be the best thing they could do right now. But it won’t happen.

Medical bills and insurance.

What a garbage human being.

Just typing it out makes me cringe.

E/os is just android.

I do see that Ubuntu touch is an option though.

It’s shameful that most phones run one of two operating systems. There’s not enough competition. I’m still pissed about WebOS and Windows Phone being abandoned. I am hopeful though that web-based apps might make it possible for another OS to enter the market successfully at some point.

Is it really de-googled if it still runs Android?

Doesn’t this thing just run android and Google App Store? What a waste of decent hardware.

I will never understand people who look at Susan Collins and Ted Cruz and say, “That’s who I want to vote for!”

Holding security updates hostage is a sicko business strategy. I hope the EU sues them for it.

It’s too difficult to block huge swaths of things you’re not interested in. Like sports, or memes, or music. You block one community and 99 more about the same subject appear in your feed.

Adding some sort of Usenet-style organization or sublemmy tagging might help.

• The ads aren’t targeted properly for one thing. I see ads for stuff that would never apply to me. Such a waste of money.

• Many of the videos already have a sponsor, so they are double-dipping.

• Also I’m not going to sit through 60 seconds of ads for a five minute video. Get real.

• And don’t lie to me about “Watch this long ad break and we won’t show you more ads during this program.”

I think Prime has the right idea of front loading the ads at the beginning of the program instead of interrupting thinks every few minutes.

I’d pay for ad-free YouTube if it didn’t cost as much as HBO. Charge $3 to $5 a month and I’d consider it. Otherwise I’ll just mute the TV, or skip the programming altogether.

I will add that I’ve yet to find a decent tasting store brand soda or sparkling water. I have no idea why it’s so difficult for them to get the flavoring right.

There’s plenty of good used stainless flatware out there. Older stuff found at estate sales is frequently better quality and cheaper than buying new at department stores.
