With iOS I think it is just enough to prohibit Apple from taking 30% cut from App Store installations. Similar how Microsoft cannot ask for 30% from any app installed in Windows (unless it is done from the store). In case of Apple, AppStore is basically Windows comparison - the only way to access "internet" so to say.

great quote

this war is irrelevant. it is a low intensity conflict with no real path for further escalation (unless nukes are involved). resource potential of both countries is at a limit. so it won't fit.

Another one - Iran vs Israel but they don't have a direct border so it is also a no...

It is time for some war eh? Last time when something similar happened there was asian crisis followed by Gulf WAr, and then dotcom bubble burst following 9/11 and Iraq War.

Now we have something similar with asian crisis (including Chinese economy this time) and AI bubble.

I still believe that the best approach is the contextual search embedded everywhere - I think Microsoft's approach (and now Apple's one) is a way forward.

I mean fundamentally if Linux was used in the same use cases as Windows, it would have more issues like this. After all the scenarios of Windows are based on real world use cases.

Standards of what? Microsoft cannot force the third party company to test their own builds before releasing them.

Tooling, infra, knowledge? The only reason why people are talking about "issues in Windows" because people are widely using it.

If linux had software anywhere close to the amount that windows has, it would have experienced the same issues too. After all it is not just about running a server and tinkering with config files. It is about ability to manage the devices, rolling out updates and so on.

I guess Microsoft can now offer some similar to a Crowstrike solution for Azure users.

It died.

we had Xbox outage too

I feel like Azure has been down quite often these days

It does not work on Windows ARM because it is a game that was develop for a regular Windows and consoles. It is not the "app".

But China has its own powerful models no?

Not sure what this game has to do with "Microsoft shipping apps".

The biggest advantage is that Microsoft somehow was able to bring a proper regular Windows to ARM devices. Now I don't if it still has the same level of BC support as x86 Windows, but still it is impressive.

Well at that time Microsoft really felt like IBM. Though ironically right now Google feels like IBM.

Nadella is extremely effective and aggressive in his moves. He always impresses me in that regard.

While Ballmer built a solid cash foundation - he would never have done a move like Linkedin or Github acquisition. And I would not be surprised if Github acquisition was a part of the plan about AI.

The future is now, old man.

Wasn't it the same with other AIs? Like with saw that with Gemini, copilot etc. where they was not willing to report on certain stuff or provide the response properly.

Aside Roman empire not being the original fascists, the fact that you portray the roman empire with its thousand years history as fascists is a twitter level take.

Well it took Netflix years and years to reach the current point though.

Reminds me of EULA or whatever licensing agreement that we supposed to read during installation (using wizards) but nobody ever did lol

What store do you think Xiaomi have? * looked at my Xiaomi device * Oh, hello Play Store.

Don't know about Amazon Fire, but Amazon Android store (same with Samsung) went nowhere and has never been successful.

Except good luck having a phone without Play Store and Google Play services.

So basically now the agencies won't need to think about interpreting the law themselves?

I guess that's going to be the future for the society where the likeness and voices will be reused over and over again using AI.

Teams currently requires a separate license no? It is not free anymore with Microsoft 365.

And that's thing - if slack was actually trying to add features and integrations that users actually wanted, it would not fail that much.

I mean, Zoom succeeded without having anything except team conferencing...

so "I hate teams but I use another bundled thing" lol

Except the end conclusion was that "paying for a browser is stupid".
