But how will I get free stuff and also not see ads with my adblocker if ads die?

Yes, but the OS fundamentals are for Azure first, Windows last.

Azure makes money, 50% of Windows computers are basically free and need to get you to sign up for a subscription some how. The other 50% are Windows Pro/Enterprise, but MS assumes they'll get that money forever so doesn't put any resources into that. In 10 years the kids switching to Linux on desktop today will be in charge of the business deals and switch corporations to linux because they're not scared of it like the current business IT leaders

Waymo also had safety drivers for years.

All you really need is "drive slower if you can't see (because rain, fog, or degraded cameras), or you're in an area where children might run out into the road"

Facts are not a thing the government is interested in now

If they're not safe then why does the data show they're safer than humans?

Why will they never be safe?

Also can you define safe?

The fact you think $200 per month is sane is amusing to people in other countries

MS invented MSI installers, Office didn't use them, they don't seem to believe in anything

Just tax everything the amount it costs to clean up the pollution it causes, then use that money to clean up the pollution, now everything will have the correct price including externalities

Teenagers pick free software because a) they're broke, and b) there's way more videos about the free software on Youtube. 10 years later they pick the same software at their job

Apple's Classroom says it allows locking to a single app

Agreed, tax based on damage to road, and then tax fuel the amount it costs to clean up the pollution the fuel causes, and then use the money to clean up the pollution it causes. Then who cares if you fly your private jet, or giant car, you just pay for it.

Side effects include: reduced pollution, and cheaper ways to clean up pollution

Try explaining files to a kid these days

In Windows 11 you're only 3 clicks away from a Windows 3.1 dialog box:

Is it worth getting disturbed by a subreddit of 71k users? Probably only 71 of them actually post anything.

There's probably more people paying to hunt humans in warzones https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3epygq5272o

Agreed, the Gutenberg method is preferred:

1. Assume printing press exists 2. Now there's no need for a teacher to stand up and deliver information by talking to a class for 60 mins 3. Therefore students can read at home (or watch prepared videos) and test their learning in class where there's experts to support them 4. Given we only need 1 copy of the book/video/interactive demo, we can spend wayyyyy more money making it the best it can possibly be

What's sad is it's 500 years later and education has barely changed

4. Use AI to talk to the student to find out if they understand.

Tests were created to save money, more students per teacher, we're just going back to the older, actually useful, method of talking to people to see if they understand what they've been taught.

You weren't asked to write an essay because someone wanted to read your essay, only to intuit that you've understood something

That's why you phrase it as "woke liberals turning your children gay!"

In USA K-12 education costs about $300k

350 million people, want to get 175 million of them better educated, but we've already spent $52 trillion dollars on educating them so far

It's 2025 and finally got back to Bluetooth file sharing OBEX that was supported in Android 2 in 2009, and the Palm 3 in 1998 (using IR), as long as you buy another new phone

Depends on whether the number of pixels is a multiple of the block size

Exactly, just make trains better/cheaper/faster and planes worse/more expensive/slower

Probably not the same people. Air travel is hard to decarbonise, so needs to be limited

If you make trains better/cheaper/faster than planes, people will take trains

They're just exploiting a bug in the Educational System where instead of testing if students know things, we test if they can produce a product that implies they know things. We don't interrogate them in person with questions to see if they understand the topic, we give them multiple choice questions that can be marked automatically to save time

UK is a country made up of 4 countries, I guess we really like to annoy anyone trying to define a hierarchy

Memorize two passwords and have a hidden volume with the real data in

I wonder if it matters that I'm not signed in on my Chromecast youtube app, but am on the app I'm casting from. That I don't get ads for nerd stuff seems to imply it's not using data from my account

Only see ads when watching youtube via chromecast, but they're all from real brands, holiday companies, cars, google pixel, etc

Thanks, read the paper about testing the mythical man month theory.

Seems the conclusions are: fewer people is better; only one "organisation" or group should contribute to the code; ownership should be at the lowest level possible, not a high up manager; and knowledge retention is important, effectively manage people leaving and make sure the design rational is well documented
