Yup. I try to keep my money in cash or in the bank. Crypto is alright but it’s become a huge issue when guys who have no life skills outside hacking feel the need to assert power over others lives

Meh. Not all Indians lol

These software guys literally get paid on salary and even get time to spare, the need to fear monger and threaten to destroy people’s livelihoods when you run a huge portion of internet services just shows that they’re not exactly the type to “do no evil”

Hmmm… I guess it’ll be a new thing, you know, new problems for old tech… Maybe some of the guys from ReactOS will find some old canonical guys to work with and build a new alternative to windows 7 for all the old computers out there. As for how they’ll make money it’ll probably be great for keeping all the old OEM’s and engineering software companies by keeping their old product lines somewhat relevant

Dunno, I think it’s an idea and definitely a good one but not all ideas need to be built right here, right now

Better built on the moon than on California, no guns or people to mess it up

No it’s that it hasn’t been executed properly yet, as for whether it’s an actual scam is another issue

I feel like if the structure was above the earth, somewhere in the air between two points up in the sky it might be more interesting vs helicopters and airplanes but on earth, one big crack and it’s goners

Nah you can always make new things that aren’t toasters lol just harder to be more imaginative

Cheaper laptops and old computers for everyone could start with switching to Linux

Agreed. There usually needs to be a big demand for a shift. Kind of like with Android development. Things tend to slow down once they run out of good ideas.

For Microsoft I think the next big move could be for a whole solar system calendar, e.g. symmetry 454, then synchronise that with a local family/group calendars, social events integration etc, throw in something like bing coin, then throwing it all into a big new multi compatible platform available to all of XP, 7, 10 and 11, add some games shit in there to compete with steam deck, then throw in some hardware CPU cooling accessories to prop up the trash software until they spend the next ten years updating like Lenovo bridge, it so that they can let optimizing their software enough to not fuck things up.

As for how the hell they plan on making money from it all, I suspect that the accessories will eventually lead to subscription costs for certain OEM support. This will encourage OEM manufacturers to engage directly with consumers and retailers to invest in the recycling process so that they can jack up prices across the board.

Use this money to add their shit into some NASA computers for extra hype. No big long term plan, just getting their logo and their foot in the door with the next big direction for computing lol

Nah I haven’t bought a new machine in years, sticking to the old school bro. But I get it, a lot of people who are gamers or streamers would definitely buy in and I get why too because so long as the internet speeds keep increasing, there will be more streamers for the next big game or influencer chit chat etc

Would be cool if Microsoft launched a new fangled cloud operating system, they’ve already got Bing AI, Onedrive, GitHub on the side and other infrastructure in place already.

Offering a Microsoft centered cloud computing operating system would allow them to dump or discard their other investments like GitHub, while holding both the money and infrastructure to competing against their old pals working with Linux and other GNU stuff.

The ultimate betrayal I tell ya hahaha 🤣

Nah just jokes, I would suck at writing or doing white collar crime but I would sure hype it up in an action novel alright

Windows 7 or Linux would be fine, Windows 10 is hardly that bad

Lame.

Agreed. Essentially the big reason many people support the idea of a government is simply because it is an effective deferral of responsibility for certain issues. The most effective example is unironically the existence of the government “benefit”.

Oh come on, only two people?

Debatable

If it’s good it’s good 😊

No not my Gary’s moods lol
