Daemon Spawn at that.

we need to regulate speech then, exactly the same way we want to regulate firearms.

Only those authorized by the state ought to have speech. Safety First!

(this is largely sarcastic in nature)

You could have made a graphical powerhouse but nooooo you made a useless fucking waste of AI compute.

Given I almost NEVER see a Surface device in the wild, I'm guessing this is just another shoddy attempt at trying to lock people into AI-only shit.

The bigger you are, the harder it is to turn the ship in an emergency. See Titanic.

At some point the inertia of change isn't worth it, as you suggested. It is possible, but is it worth it?

The last way to look at this is a way to start the process of diversifying our Tech holdings. Windows, Office, Adobe, VMWare etc. But here is my take, STEAM is showing the way out. We're not there yet, but the tide appears to be turning (to keep the nautical terms going).

Broken clocks are still broken, even when they occasionally tell the time correctly.

"Those of us who worry about our safety are less concerned."

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"

Now, get off my lawn! ;-)

"We at Siemens have seen how successful SCO was, and think we can be just as successful!"

12PM is fucking noon is when the fucking sun is at its highest position in the sky.

It has been like this for at least a millennia. DST is bullshit.

Live with nature and quit fucking denying it like a conservative.

As our sensors improve what magical things will we be able to build (think cellphone to a boomer) and how will capitalism create a scarcity and meter text messages (remember the early plans?) just to get us used to thinking that texting is an expensive, very scarce resource?

That's one part of the equation! Satellite bus cost is another part of the 'magnitudes of order' reduction equation. Where I work right now is addressing that.

Uhh, console makers already do hardware lockdown and game companies work with that and even include their own sorts of shenanigans. Have for at least 20 years, now.

What rock are you living under?

Is this more evidence than NLP is AI-Complete?

"As intended by their creators."

Did society ask for it by bullying them in school?

Noooooo

You don't see how?

That's why.

It's because its not the same.
