who felled tens of thousands of acres of rainforest so 50,000 elites could gather in Brazil for a "climate summit." Excuse me if I ignore their virtue signaling. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fartic...

I could see this with the unemployed but min wage has gone up a lot in most places in the last 5-7 years. Seems more likely it's just people working the system.

Let's create ANOTHER standard and fragment things even more. I'm sure that will help!!!!! DOH!!!!

As one of those poor bastards I can tell you with confidence that it's very easy. We manage approximately 400 physical hosts and deal with relatively few hardware issues. Redundancy and good alerting make dealing with those issues fairly trivial. The other benefit of hosting systems yourself is a properly architected environment can use hardware much longer which helps keep costs down.

with crappy specs and almost no apps, that costs as much as a mid priced Android phone? I've got a better suggestion for potential buyers- Buy a mid priced Android phone and remove all apps you don't want/need? Then you get decent specs for the apps you do want/need. And you can get it from a manufacturer you won't have to worry about going out of business in a year.

During the Ice Age!!!!

As expected people attacking me but no actual solutions. And no, "renewable energy" is NOT the solution. I won't get in to why with people who just want to attack. Anyone who thinks "renewables" are a better solution than Nuclear, and doesn't understand WHY Nuclear takes TOO LONG and is EXPENSIVE to build has not done their homework anyways. So, have fun in your echo chamber.

Even IF we concede that climate change/global warming/whatever it's being called this year is real, I'm waiting for some REAL solutions before I buy in on destroying our economy to combat it. Because electric cars, solar/wind energy, and getting rid of plastic bags at the supermarket IS NOT WORKING. And we still aren't building nuclear power plants. Our politicians fly to far off places every year, emitting massive amounts of carbon, to discuss the issue. It's impossible to take seriously under these circumstances and with these people deciding how to fight it.

Magazine years ago. Now it's just a propaganda machine.

I'm always open to MORE reasons not to use Edge. Thanks for adding to the (extensive) list.

I hope they get burned for as much as allowed by law in these lawsuits.

Barbara Streisand tried to sue some guy who took pics of her backyard from a helicopter like 20 years ago. She lost. Technology may change but many of the concepts don't.

that the end game for every NEW, BETTER version of Windows is to find out how to put more spyware, ads, and DRM in my OS and NOT to improve the functionality of an OS which is to run applications. I don't need to PAY MS money just so they can further invade my privacy and try to extort more money from me. If you're gonna bend me over at least take me to dinner first.

Call me skeptical but I'm still waiting for a good example of an AI that actually seems intelligent like a human. I worked at a large tech company that paid a crapload of money for someone to develop an AI that was supposed to replace our knowledge base system and streamline support for customers. They went so far as to tell us we had to write KB articles for this system and our review/bonus depended on it. When it went live it was so horrible as to be unusable and within a few weeks all mention of it had disappeared with no mention of it ever again. I am convinced some up and coming executive convinced higher ups that it would be the best thing since sliced bread but when it came out it was less intelligent than a newborn baby. The two "best" "AI's" I've seen or heard of - One is marginally decent at being used as a voice to command interpreter for home automation and telling me about the weather, and the other struggles with getting the complexion correct when asked for pictures of the founding fathers, and has also caused lawyers to be sanctioned by making stuff up that was used in legal briefs. I think ELiZA may still be more "intelligent" than some of the AI startups with many millions in VC funds behind them.
