If you buy Intel, you finance American fascism.

Don't buy Intel.

Without knowing anything else about Threads users, I know one thing: they're people who don't mind using a Zuckerberg product and being subjected to intense corporate surveillance by Meta.

That tells me everything I need to know about them.

but now it's more eco-friendly shit.

You still can't use it as a fertilizer though. So it's still not useful for anything...

are hurting democracy, world peace, science, human progress and ecology.

Good! Considering the mess they'll probably make of whatever their next effort will be, I'm all for it.

Microsoft was the perfect company to push AI: it's always produced shit products, so AI couldn't make them any worse.

I've never had to post my resume on fucken LinkedIn. If there's one thing I truly detest, it's unprinciped Big Data sonsabitches like Microsoft making money out of people's need to make a living.

LinkedIn, Office365, Teams... All those tools are basically forced on professional who need to find or keep a job, and Microsoft essentially abuses people's data against their will.

to hack this shit.

Because capitalism!

If I was an investor, I'd be mad at the guy I gave money to for admitting I invested my money in a whole lot of hot air.

Then again, if I was investing in this idiocy, I'd deserve everything I'd get...

Microsoft is famous for never getting any future prediction right. Remember 640K should be enough for everybody? The internet is a fad? The house of tomorrow? Clippy?

If they figure you'll talk to your computer to give it commands, you can be pretty sure people will still be typing away on their keyboards decades from now, or interfacing with their neural lace, or anything else other than what Microsoft predicted.

Coding arguably requires talent - although Microsoft has been proving consistently for half a century that you can be a successful software company with piss-poor engineers.

But even if AI produced perfect code, then producing software essentially requires no talent. I'm not saying it's a bad thing in itself, but it moves the act of producing software squarely into the realm of everyday mediocre accessible to everyday talentless people.

And on top of that, the fallacy is that AI simply doesn't produce anywhere near anything that resembles perfect code. But of course, Microsoft is desperate to have you believe otherwise...

I'll just say this: I'm glad I'm at the end of my career as a software engineer, because I didn't spend a lifetime honing my skills to end up a mediocre types-question-guy.

The stress level measurement is what the smartwatch pretends to supply you - a feature that entices you to purchase the watch, if you're interested in knowing your stress level.

What's being monetized is the raw data - accelerometer measurements, O2, location... whatever the hell those things measure to do what they pretend to do - because a lot of really invasive and personal information can be inferred from those measurements.

collect data on you for monetization.

You've been modded funny but it's absolutely true.
