Yeah, like I said, they did a great job. 10-30 years ago. Not anymore. Just because something was true in the past doesn’t mean it’s still true now.

I don’t know. Them being successful to me sounds like saying kidnappers can get girls. Might technically be true, but misleading. Microsoft managed to kidnap the modern economy by having had a good product previously. If we were to reset things, nobody in their right mind would go with any of the modern Microsoft products. They’re all objectively worse than their counterparts. But due to economic reasons and probably something to do with Stockholm syndrome and laziness, people are trapped in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Because it doesn’t really solve much. After every update of external libraries, do you go through all the diffs to see if there is malicious code? Of course you don’t. And even if you would, it’s not even always possible to spot it. So all locking packages does is postpone the problem to when you eventually update. As an added bonus, you’re now vulnerable to all the legitimate issues that get fixed in those updates you’re not installing regularly.

I was more referring to OPs comment on how that statement is soulless. Unfortunately I only knew about this after reading it, because I can’t read minds. Who cares about corporate speech if they close down anyways?

Who cares?

I think the next thing people should complain about is the abysmal 256 GB of storage. That’s barely enough to fit the OS plus updates at this point. Should be at least 512 GB, given how basically free NVMe storage is these days.

Just trust the algorithm, bro!

Amen. I am 100% convinced that the only reason Windows 10 was received this well was because of their tremendous marketing efforts around the release. People just accepted that it’s a great OS. It’s exactly like that Windows Vista Mojave experiment, just in reverse. In my opinion Windows 10 is even worse than Windows 11. But they didn’t do as much marketing around Windows 11.

As much as I hate Elton, SpaceX and StarLink have developed genuinely very great technologies. I feel like NASA could have done the same years ago already, but apparently it needed a space cunt to do it. Sure it sucks that StarLink for example is owned by Elmo, but honestly… better than not having it at all.

Or maybe read the article?

Interesting. So essentially Arm is butthurt that Qualcomm doesn’t want to send them a shitload of money and instead tries to do their own thing, so Arm is trying to force them into buying their product regardless?

From my understanding, most companies take the reference design from Arm and then alter it to fit their needs.

MikroTik is very affordable and can be configured quite extensively.

If you have an invoice or some sort of ownership document from the original company (or if the MDM is actually no longer active), you can try calling Apple Support. They have the ability to unlock the Macs. But don’t get your hopes up if you don’t have solid proof that you are the rightful owner.

From what I understand, WordPress has been attacking WPengine more or less out of nowhere and is trying to destroy their business because their product competes with Wordpress.com (for many, many years now)

Excuse me, I use Arch and Firefox with uBlock.

Oh yes, they are. Every content creator that’s still on Twitter for some reason complains about how engagement is way down. Many are considering leaving Twitter, if they haven’t already. Of course, some groups still remain for now, but it’s just a matter of time until everyone who isn’t a full on Nazi has left that pile of garbage.

Yeah I was gonna say, felt like a deja vu. Didn’t The Zuck™️ try something similar?
