IoT is missing all the features I hate, but they can usually be installed manually if desired.
I’m holding out till 2032 for Linux by which time I will be dead or ready to switch.
I was one of those cool 90’s kids who hated Clippy, and I am still just as immature.
With actual headlines like this, how is The Onion still in business?
As an Internet person with absolutely no knowledge or experience in finance, I can professionally guarantee you that Kanye West’s crypto coin “Yeezy Money” is not a good investment and you should not purchase it.
I mean Jesus fucking Christ.
Yes, purchase legitimately from Microsoft with a genuine Microsoft license key from Microsoft because software piracy is wrong and totally not justified in the face of abusive software monopolies.
I recommend Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, which is supported until 2032 and has never required me to update my fucking clock or calculator, never crashed my SSD, and never randomly encrypted my hard drive and lost the recovery keys! And, there’s no OneDrive, Copilot, Recall, Cortana, Clippy, or whatever else Microsoft’s cocaine addled executives have come up with this week to FUCK us.
Since thats the standard for operating systems we’re working with now, I’d say this one is pretty good!
Here’s how you can purchase your copy today!
Let’s have a really long nasty drawn out internet argument over whether it’s fifteen or fifty.
They’ve got the laser drill, now they just need 15 billion more dollars for the Unobtanium!
“You want some of this?” Mr. Dousten yelled, according to the affidavit…
…Mr. Dousten then fired a single shot that hit Ms. Hermosillo’s car, breaking the window of the front passenger seat where she was sitting, and striking her in the face, it said.
He “fired a shot in a random direction,” the police said in an email obtained on Wednesday. “Tragically, that bullet struck a passenger in an uninvolved vehicle.”
…Ms. Hermosillo’s partner drove her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead, the police said.”
This is unbelievably sad. Can you imagine what her partner must have gone through? They’ll be haunted by this for the rest of their life. Her family is crushed. She was 27.
How is it that someone so out of control of their emotions that they carry a loaded gun and wave it carelessly during traffic confrontations is able to access firearms?
Let’s create a real hell, fund it, and send him there for the rest of his life.
It’s MY doody, and it’s a BIG one!
Well, he’s dead now so you have nothing to fear.
This is so fucking bizarre.
Google, Apple, and Microsoft are all doing the same thing with their operating systems. Soon, everything you do on your device will be recorded, analyzed, compiled, and cross-referenced. All of it ready to be used against you in advertisements, commerce, and a court of law.
If you think age checks are bad now, wait until it’s enforceably illegal to even look at pornography on your device. Or, maybe you receive a knock at your door for a missed period, or some questionable searches while pregnant? Higher ride app pricing for a low phone battery? Now your digital credit score determines your eligibility and cost for a ride. Think your VPN will hide that pirated movie or your location? Who needs to bypass encryption when your entire screen is analyzed by a hardware driven AI classification system in real-time.
Advertisers, authoritarians, media execs, and tech bros are vibrating so hard that they’re starting to glow. This is the real AI revolution into which they have sunk so much money. Do you think they’re just going to accept that they won’t get a return on their investment because you think you have a right to privacy?
How long will we even have access to hardware and software that doesn’t contain baked-in content analysis?
Civil disobedience is a peaceful way to protest unfair laws when the regular methods of changing the law are too restricted or too slow to protect the civil rights of citizens. Civil disobedience in this case would be refusing to check out or read books that they find objectionable, if the government were to mandate that they be read.
You could make the argument that government is mandating this content if public schools assign it to students, but there is no real punishment under the law for rejecting a school assignment. It’s that they don’t want YOU to have access to this information, which is the opposite of civil disobedience: oppression. If the government were to mandate the removal of this content, as these citizens would like, the act of disobedience would be to read the books.
This is stealing from a public library.
Yea, that last time the US and Russia did this we had to ban nuclear weapons in space.
Low demand?? Birth control is in low demand??? I’m surprised that Costco doesn’t sell a smaller spoon to make this horseshit a little more palatable.
Nothing sells capitalism as inherently fascist faster than every corporation racing to obey the regime in advance.
Oh good, while they’re there maybe they can help build housing or provide food for the homeless people Trump wants to get rid of.
Can’t be homeless if you got a home!
I can hear every sound referenced in this thread in my head.
Same here - I was on Reddit for close to 20 years. After the purge, I had to stop because it literally became unbearable. Reddit is now fake dead pet pity posts, brain dead relationship outrage baiting, unintelligible post titles and comments, and barely obfuscated advertising.
Apparently, it’s more profitable than ever; a monument to enshitification.
Worse, religious fundamentalists.
