And even if he did, he had the quiet and slightly confused version rather than the lashing out version. Plus he surrounded himself with skilled and knowledgable people who could take over if he was making really bad mistakes in his decisions - can you really say the same for the current president?

You guys did not come up with that talking point overnight... desperation's a powerful motivator, isn't it. Still, credit where due!

The only people who say that in real life who say stupid shit like that are non-techies with unimpressive intellects who also happen to not be able to drive worth a shit...

The question is why we need self-driving cars (a slow and expensive solution with much collateral) when the vaxx clearly solves most of these problems.

And then they didn't. Windows 11 has been leaked for ages. I took half a decade to recover from Windows 8/etc. Memories of Vista, the insanity of Windows XP, all these were in consumer minds.

Windows 11 is lipstick with AI, serious intrusion, and echoes the past mistakes of Microsoft operating systems. The excuse is the TPM2 chip and processor problems, both of which are hoaxes.

The TPM2 chipsets give security to only a handful of users that actually use their features. The entire Intel processor families have bugs in them, and most consumers aren't updating their firmware to deal with Sceptre, Rowhammer-ish attacks anyway.

Instead, Microsoft is now monetizing their client base with endless advertising, telemetry information, and other ways to milk their clientele. Applications used to drive Microsoft Windows purchase, the platform that ran software you needed. FOSS and the cloud have obviated that need-- you can get good FOSS variants or cloud "office" apps easily.

But Microsoft still has the hook in the mouth of a lot of their clientele who just need tools to do work. They know that, and are frog-marching their user base. Again.
