They want all of your data in the cloud so they own it.

They want all their crap on your device, so you pay for it.

Oh, it’s not trusting them to see them relatively better.

Too late, they’re all in on the derp, as well.

I mean how many times is Chat Control going to come up? It’s their own KOSA, some “protect the children” lie by a bunch of Epstein Class pedos who want to track and profile everything about everyone.

They’re always “about to” but never seem to do it.

If one “side” fixed anything they would not only lose the backing of their corporate sponsors, they wouldn’t be able to point to the problem anymore and say they’ll fix it to round up some votes before promptly going back to ignoring or supporting what they campaigned on stopping.

I don’t plan on forgiving Nvidia or Micron or anyone else who sold us out to get in on the debt transfer scam that is propping up the US economy, the bubble will burst, and I hope they all go down in flames with it.

Honestly?

I trust China more than I trust the US.

Distros from that joke stuff era are more user friendly than Windows 11.

Oh my god!

They killed Jeeves!

You’ve seen what a well oiled machine legislation is, no?

The problem with that is the corporations love to save a penny or two on hardware, no matter how much worse it makes the product, specifying one seems like a good way to make them just use that even if there is something better.

Herp Derp UR DUM!

/me looks for reasoning beyond the malicious childish moronitude. Finds none.

C’mon, constructive or GTFO.

The problem with this is they mandate something in the law and then there comes along a new and better option that nobody can use because there’s a stupid law…

Personally I still want to see more people do that contact connector that was in the dock of my Motorola Xoom.

I like the star in it, reminds me of a sticker, which is an odd mental association but I swear like a sailor while dropping that in fuck.

I’ll take the Zuckwit over Bozos or Ellison.

Yeah, it’s nice that they fixed the ozone and acid rain, but now they’ve gone and walked back what stopped it, so we’ll see it again soon enough.

At least in the 80s there was potential for improvement, in spite of the problems, rather than an eternal spiral into oblivion.

We also were still able to rely on legal protections rather than having it all privatized and laws bypassed by T&C.

People have commuted suicide, though.

Just because it’s not a physical addiction does not men it can’t be as extreme, and generally a physical addiction will end up with nausea, exhaustion, and mood swings rather than death. It takes deep or long-term addiction to be fatal.

They are deployed to addict, there is some benefit to them, Google used one back before they dropped “Don’t be evil” to enhance the relevance of search results.

Now they use it to censor, and sell shit, but it was not a bad technology before it was corrupted.

8GB dedicated, but shared increases that.

I do give props for not using Nvidia, that 3070 is the last time I put up with them.

There’s nothing wrong with the technology, it’s who is running it all that needs to be fixed, with the general f*ckery that is through everything now I miss my 2400 baud modem that was bigger than my computer and dialing in to a BBS.

Bad time to be doing this, the specs are lower than my tablet I dropped $800 on a few years ago.

Before anyone drops a console they need to wait for the RAM to stop being $500+ and a decent sized SSD costing more.

I even looked at sd cards to slap in the slot and move my media off the drive and those had also doubled in price over the time period they’d normally have halved the cost of a larger one.
