“As ive explained, this is what consumers want. And I want Nvidia stock to go well.”

Actually yeah, I didnt think of that but commodore 64 was my first computer. Its actually incredible the things it could do without any cooling or fan, and tiny graphics chip…

When I was young, older people thought the monitor was the computer and had no idea there was a chassi under the desk connected to it. :)

Yeah the agreement for me was always that i wont need any support from the company for my Linux, and I never did.

If you know Linux, it will just work. I had to use the web version of office and teams sometimes, but that worked ok during meetings.

Enterprise IT is fun isnt it.

Being young today must be fun. Just missed out on all the good stuff in the 80, 90s and 2000s to experience this mess we have now.

I will not use those services. I think im willing to give up any service except email. And if Im forced, I guess I will identify for email since its critical to have. But its all ridiculous and part of building dystopia.

Or, windows 11 doesnt support my system. Not my problem.

Its actually interesting how they phrased it so that our systems are the problem and not their product.

Probably yeah. Ive done the same and said no to jobs where I couldnt use Linux. I didnt even want mac at that time, because 70% of the fun of the job was using Linux and native tools there.

Its not really strange. We are using our computers to do our job and we think its fun, so being forced to use a different platform ruins a lot of the fun.

I like how they call everything conspiracy theories these days. Yeah, nothing to see here, just wanna protect children… :)

Comes back again and again.

First thing i thought of, but yeah, most devs today have never held a disk like that.

Why do i always gets so extreamly nostalgic every time something from the 80s and 90s are posted… I guess everyone is like that, stuff from their childhood remains loved.

I think also because it was a fresh field, nobody knew IT so it was exciting. It was like a small interest, similar to collecting stamps or something.

I think the real shock is the quality of windows and Microsoft, and the pc laptop industry also… When everything about a pc laptop is worse than a mac laptop, why do we expect?

It really is like no pc laptop manifacturer has pride in what they create anymore. They dont care if its a bad screen, shitty keyboard, horrible battery time. Just get it on market so the people can buy, and pay reviewers for good reviews.

Back when girls in Hollywood were actually beautiful. :)

I would be scared as hell to rely on Google like that. You are one automated Ai decision away from losing access.

At least move your mail to a proper company. Jesus.

Its getting kind of silly to be afraid of China when big tech is American… There really isnt any logical reason at this point. Just emotional, because people are afraid of China.

The entire west is getting absolutely wrecked by American big tech so its funny to read those articles about how scary China is. I guess we prefer the devil we know, but I dont think China has anything even remotely as capable as American spy agencies and big tech.

I think they mean Google play services yeah. When i was running cyanogenmod on my phone, I had the option to not install Googles play services.

Some apps rely on that being installed but most worked fine.

I bet people will just accept it and not even think twice about it.

Linux.

Its been an american leadership view for as long as ive been alive that American lives are worth at least a hundred times more than other lives.

That is, in war situations, not in situations where leadership takes care of its citizens. No, there those lives are worth next to nothing. So American leadership is pretty much at war both with its own people and countries who dont want American culture.
