People wondering why this was designed to need the cloud, it requires a subscription fee. Overpriced greedy product. Its actually a good idea (bed temp control), but too greedy

Thats on borrowed time. Money to isreal is one of the only issues left and right agree with. Someone is going to take advantage of that eventually and isrela is gonna get disconnected from the US teet

Capitalism works best with strong rules in place to prevent psychopaths and sociopaths from expanding too large.

To be fair, if a jr dev has enough acesss to screw a prod db from a schena update, then the issue is with the seniors and managers who did not set up the appropriate guard rails to prevent that.

Thats what i like about it. They can stay there.

My theory is that we have a limited number of hours a day to view content. We also have a growing number of channels and content in general. Algorithms include new content we kight enjoy, and for every new channel we get hooked on, one of the older ones drops off.

Tv shows rarely (ever?) Last forever. Why should channels?

I dont understand this take. This is a “think of the children” bs that panders to (certain) citizens. Also a thinly veiled attempt at data collection of its citizens en masse

The internet was best when noone could see qhat you looked like, or your name. Pure thought

That stipped working. Now the option it gives you is to block the ad going forward after it finishes

I havent tried it yet but i think you cab rub a pihole and use that to fikter at the source

We can, but part of it is accepting that our tech will be a decade or two behind. Its not the worst thing. Life is more convenient now, but all in all i think it was better before.

The masses will go for convenient, and thats ok. You have near total control of how you live your life; you just cant have your cake and eat it too is all

Im talking about someone who doesnt know wtf any of that means. Like the town idiot.

I mean more like someone who is irresponsible and maybe dumb. I was trying to be polite. Someone that doesnt even know what a fidicuary is.

Absolutely. However, if you are not the best with money, or on the irresponsible side; it might be best to take the annuity. Mathematically it makes no sense to do so, but if it stops you from blowing it all on hookers and coke in two years then its for the best. In other words, if you having it all is riskier than the state keeping track of it.

The cycle of abuse on a national scale. Its crazy to see.

Are people still applying to go to school there?

Its not nearly that easy. They are dealing with personalities behind all of this, investors they made promises to, etc. What you are describing is the right thing to do, its just very complicated with a ship as big as microsoft to turn on a dime like that. The bigger the org, the slower it is to react and the harder it is to course correct

I think it might actually start coming to fruition now that a lot of games have native support.

One of the only things stopping me from taking the plunge at this point is laziness to soft through all my data and make sure what i need is backed up before firmatting (i know, i need a good backup solution; open to suggestions here)

They are even worse in the business space for sure.

Windows 7 was peak windows. Its been downhill from there
