Great example! Orwell got censored! It's almost funny. Orwell's books which are about dystopian society, mass control and censorship, got censored. One would almost think it's Onion news, but it's real. And that in 2009! We absolutely have to pay attention to such nefarious attempts of censorship of art and history, and restricting freedom of expression in the name of... what exactly? Is it the "protect the children" again?

I was just looking at the USB flash drives... 128GB for $10. USB-A or USB-C or even combo drives. Easy to carry around on your keychain. So what is the use of this cloud service again? I don't get it. Don't say "it's convenient" because if something is convenient it's a 128GB drive on your keychain that you simply insert in your computer or phone.

I must be meeting wrong women then.

Only if your jeans are compatible enough with pig's.

Just to point something out. I don't think they are not smart for writing such misleading reports, they just need to put food on the table. What I mean is - the politics forces them to lie for money. It happens far more often than you think, especially in time of economical struggles and crisis. They could grow a pair, though, lose the (additional?) income (bribe?) and be truthful to themselves for once. Doing that certainly has its own merits.

Maybe they thought that "aligning our pipes" would make women in the workplace feel left out?

We might invent Faster Than Light Travel by the time this probe is half way there... ;) or become dust...

Absolutely, yes, and "Beyond" products are meant for omnivores or (former omnivores?) vegetarians who still like to have a plant-based burger. I have no desire for the taste of meat in any form, but especially so processed form. I make my own burgers sometimes, when the schedule is tight, from green lentils and mixed veg. Good, healthy stuff, actually.

As a vegetarian since high school (I'm 55), I don't eat processed food and I see "beyond" as "beyond processed" food. A lot of vegans and vegetarians I know eat healthy home-made food, and don't even consider eating these heavily processed options unless being forced to. That's why it's unsuccessful imho. Who is it for? Those who can't cook and don't mind eating processed food, which is less and less popular with omnivores, too. Nothing tastes as good as home made burger, vegan, vegetarian, or omnivoreian.

"The computer will be able to see what they see, hear what they hear... so shall we! and we're gonna make loads of money selling their data. Oh my!" :P
The future is bright. It always is with MS, because... I somehow doubt it it will be that bright for them, though, since less and less people like to use their OS as they keep shooting themselves in their feet.

I love my good old, boring Debian. Thanks MS.

I posted mine too late and didn't see your comment. Yeah, it's obvious, isn't it? lol

It is called "SharePoint" after all, not "SelfishPoint", right?

There are way too many people who don't know how to think critical, and are way too conformant. For such people, being a part of a "movement", a cult, is a matter of wellbeing and health, as they enjoy the attention and validation from their peers. Without it, they lose control. The 9th stage on is all about fear, actually. Fear of losing all that.

For as long as the 0.1% keep multiplying their billions, everything is fine.

When they start to lose too much money due to climate change, you're gonna hear about it, though!

Yes, modern hardware is becoming smaller, power efficient, and very capable. Have you heard of new AMD Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs? With Radeon 8060S graphics? Look it up: GMKtec AI Max+ 395 mini PC. These things are such great SOCs for gaming and very power efficient. For now they are only available with new laptops, but AMD will release a desktop version of them later this year. I can't wait. Also interesting is Nvidia N1X ARM chip. ARM gaming might take off next year with AMD, Intel and Nvidia all having some sort of nice, powerful and efficient ARM CPUs in development that can be used for running games and AI LLMs quite well.
