This is another huge myth in the US housing market, that big companies own lots of the housing and are jacking the prices up. It's simply not true. Large corporations own a tiny fraction of the market while the vast majority is owned by individuals and small landlords.
I still curse the IPv6 designers for not making it backward compatible with IPv4. IPv6 is definitely better designed but the lack of backwards compatibility makes moving to it an absolute bear. I know the designers thought the transition would only take a couple of years but almost 30 years later... here we are.
The US has not built enough homes to meet demand for over 30 years which is by far the biggest factor in high housing prices. Zillow is not causing people to move more, the number of Americans moving each year is reaching record lows. High housing prices mixed with high interest rates is causing people to stay put because the cost of buying another home is much more costly. You have to go from your old low-interest mortgage to a high-interest one and high housing prices means realtor fees are also sky-high.
I like that it's inline with the search results. That's something I don't like about Bing's chat, you either have to search the web or ask chat. It's not as seamless.
I was looking at the bill from Weimar Germany that says "Zwei Billionen Mark" with the caption of "Two trillion mark" and I was like, did they get that wrong? I looked it up and sure enough the German word for trillion is billion! Languages are wild, I wonder how that happened.
Anytime I need to use the browser on my phone, I'm shocked how bad and unusable the web is. I move back to my laptop with an ad blocker if I want to do anything other than a quick Google search. A few mainstream sites like Google and YouTube are alright, even if the ads are annoying, but most sites are just downright hostile to be on.
If feel like at this point, Windows is eventually going to switch to ARM it's just a matter of overcoming a lot inertia. ARM and RISC processors in general are now proven to be better than x86. If Microsoft invests in making Windows for ARM run well and provides a translation tool like Rosetta, it's game over for x86. That's no easy feat but at a fundamental level I don't really see a way for x86 to become actually competitive again against RISC processors.
Does anyone know what this might mean for when it could be released to the general public? Living in the northeast US, I would certainly love to have this!
