I’m saying they might send people the bill and then these people (well, companies) are going to have to fight it in court, where they’ll be right for sure, but Microsoft can make a lot of stupid arguments to prolong the whole thing, to the point where it’s cheaper to pay the license fee. For one they could say that continued use of the operating system constitutes agreement to licenses and pricing.

Either way this is server 2025 not windows 12. We’re talking about companies here, not people.

It is, but they never forced anyone to take the update, so that might save their asses, or it might not

Ah, but did you read the article?

MS didn’t force it, Heimdal auto-updated it for their customers based on the assumption that Microsoft would label the update properly instead of it being labeled as a regular security patch. Microsoft however made a mistake (on purpose or not? Who knows…) in labeling it.

It would help your point if you told us what these virtual spaces being bulldozed are.

productivity increase will pay for that over the next month or so

Found the fellow Rust developer

Cargo build universe

£20 should still get you a meal of some kind until the credit cards and cash machines are back, hopefully within a few hours or next day at the latest.

Can’t really say I even have that much on me most of the time though - perhaps I should change that, keep a minimum of like €50 that’s only touched in an emergency or something. Swedbank has had several outages in the last few months here in Estonia and it affects many stores’ payment terminals too.

Hmm, but did they say the last version of Windows, or the last version of Windows you’re going to buy? And if it’s the latter, is the upgrade to Windows 11 free? If yes, then technically it’s still correct.

I doubt they want my fun and safe math optimizations either tbh

Yeah, but Elon’s self-driving cars aren’t self-driving, nor are they necessarily as safe a good driver.

There are people out there who shouldn’t be able to drive, and in sane countries many of them don’t manage to get their licenses. But in the US for an example, apparently you can’t get anywhere without a car, so until the public transit situation is solved, drivers licenses need to be given out like candy :/ Exception being some cities with awesome public transit. The only one I’ve been to is NYC, where most people don’t really need to drive. I’d say the transit there is better than in my country.

And the worst part is that even once real SDCs exist and can be bought, not everyone can afford them. Or maybe they’ll be more like Uber or Bolt in that you hail one from an app and it picks you up - but then people in rural areas are still fucked without being able to drive themselves.

It looks to me like the center part is thicker than the edge so the corner might not be flat against the desk. But I’m completely sure if it’s enough.

So does anyone’s desktop PC that they’re too lazy to power off and I can guarantee those will waste even more.

I’m exactly the same, if I was getting a new laptop I’d be completely torn between Framework and Apple, the polar opposites. Part of me wants freedom, upgradability, repairability… And part of me wants a super high quality aluminum body, a trackpad so good you don’t even need a mouse, and whatever magic they do to make their screens look so good even if some PCs have higher resolutions nowadays.

They’ve often been on par with competitors tbh.

The X1 Carbon isn’t much cheaper than a Macbook Air and ditto for Dell XPS vs Macbook Pro. The Macs have better build quality usually, but the PCs would get better specs. RAM, at least.

The Galaxy S series stars in the same range as iPhones do, though you get a better screen. But in the Ultra and Pro Max versions the screens trade blows and the iPhone is apparently cheaper.

I also switched after about 10 years of dunking on iPhone users for accepting locked up phones with inferior hardware.

Turns out the software experience is a lot better and if you want access to your banking apps, you have to keep your Androids locked up nowadays anyway. I’d always ran custom roms, but one day I couldn’t anymore so I thought long and hard and in the end just went to the nearest Apple store and bought an iPhone.

So… basically everyone but Firefox (and maybe Safari?) are based on Chromium to some degree?

Technically Chromium is based on Safari to some degree, but they split ways a long, long time ago.

Ladybird is eventually going to be a brand new browser on its’ own engine, hopefully.

Servo is being worked on again, so that’s something.

Marketing campaign seems to be on point because I hadn’t heard of Kick before this. Or the streamer. Or the contest.

Facebook and TikTok and such ARE the next gen of news distribution. Anyone can distribute their news now.

I always figured it would eventually have decent use cases, just not doing office work from home and joining meetings and shit like they marketed it initially. There are jobs out there in the physical world where easier, more streamlined access to information is godsend.

I do hope they won’t kill it off.

We have SmartID and MobiilID in Estonia too, but you don’t need it to log onto social media. You only need it

Brave of you to say it on ml where a lot of people support Putin’s goal of restoring the empire.
