I wish someone would make a social media version of the North American house hippo commercial that ran in the late 90's.
That situation just requires a longer hose
It seems dishonest to leave out Windows 11 when talking about how MS is for announcing in advance what support will be. They did not give anywhere near proper notice about the TPM/UEFI/Secureboot requirement ahead of…
Isn't that what happened to SVB?
This is actually a more apt analogy than I think you intended. We do have planes that can fly similarly to birds, however unlike birds, those planes do not fly on their own accord. Even when considering auto-pilot, a…

IMO the only thing that separates this from racketeering is that it's technically legal.
You could replace "money" with any specific area of human expertise. I don't need to fully understand how my body works because my doctor does. I don't need to fully understand how my car works because my mechanic does.…
I am convinced that him not believing in it, getting paid a boatload to do a commercial stating he doesn't believe in it, then it failing is definitely the plot for a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

It's not as far away as one might think. There was a demo earlier this year (Jan) showcasing the proposed 1.0 spec working in Microsoft Edge: https://c2pa.org/jan-2022_event/
There are ongoing efforts to enable digital signatures of online media. The idea is that you (or your browser) can validate that an image or video is unmodified from the source that produced it.…
When someone uses Photoshop to create artwork, nobody believes that the Photoshop algorithm has any claim to be the author of that artwork. I don't see how the code behind e.g. an AI image generator is fundamentally…

On a global level? No. On a local level? Maybe? But consider that the US workers of the most valuable car company in the world (by a factor of about 3)are not part of the UAW, so it's debatable at best.
I'm not convinced that a single labor union has the power to influence the labor market outside of the specific company the union represents. This is not the case for OPEC who has sufficient power to manipulate the…
No because the company has other options for labor - it can fire it's entire workforce and rehire, or relocate. The same can't be said for cartels which have complete control over their respective markets.
Consumers do care about things like battery life. I imagine most consumers would prefer to stick with what they know (windows), but as the battery life/performance gap grows, people will be more likely to make the…

I can't help but wonder what Microsoft's answer to Apple Silicon will be going forward. They don't really make hardware, but selling Windows laptops gets harder and harder the further Apple gets ahead. It seems…
Can you elaborate on the workflow you use where this is a incompetence-defining issue? I'm trying to understand but it just doesn't seem like a reasonable workflow - the only thing I can come up with is that you use the…
