I think the issue is that there’s usually competing targets here. From the top they wanted to see use of copilot. But direct reports likely expected the same performance.

So are you going to a) do it the way you’ve done it for 10 years and know will deliver on time or b) ask hal9000 for help potentially actually slowing you down, at least initially.

I think there’s gains to be made for some jobs in some cases with ai. But most people probably just got on with their work.

It was obviously a very slow change starting in 2012. The mayans knew what was up!

Well duh. Play outside… Somewhere else! :P

Might also be lupus.

Yeah. I mean if they have to do something this is truly the best option. CCA means you must be 18 to have a credit card. Now of course kids stealing, I mean borrowing their parent’s card has always been a thing. But then what would stop them “borrowing” their ID?

I think it’s the best you’ll get in this bizarre time we’re living in.

That shows a picture of a browser with a million search bars installed. This feels like it was more of a thing between 1998 and 2002. I’d say that wasn’t early Internet, it was when it started to become mainstream.

I started on the internet in 1995 (demon Internet in the UK TAM account using slip) and the Web then was actually a very small part of what I did online. Yep the websites that were around rarely had ads. If they did they were part of a garish geocities page most likely.

But I was more often on usenet (yes kids before it was used for paid piracy we did actually use it for it’s original intent) and IRC (remembering the efnet/ircnet split). The Internet browser was just another app you used online.

Will Trump pardon them and force Microsoft to rehire?

I got a new work laptop recently. First one I’ve ever had that didn’t have an Intel cpu. Company is a decent sized multinational.

I think it’s already turning. But at the same time I don’t think the US can afford to let Intel fail entirely.

They could lock out any other os but windows if they wanted. Mobo makers just need to limit to secure boot only, not allow legacy boot. Only allow the Microsoft key and Microsoft to stop signing the Linux shim. Then it’d not be possible to install Linux or anything else really.

Not going to happen short term. But definitely a possibility.

They removed that a long time ago. I mean think about it, evil is a pretty strong term, most people don’t want to be evil. That they chose to remove it from their motto tells you everything.

It exists and will exist for a pretty hefty premium. Not because the makers want to. But frankly the interest in owning and controlling your hardware is more rare than we’d like. So like any niche hobby the hardware will be expensive.

Didn’t the old arm version of windows have this limitation though? It only ran signed exes with a chain of trust?

I feel like this is probably where things might be heading overall “for our safety”. People saying it’s only the pixel. It’s only the pixel so far. And I think Samsung are locking up bootloaders too. I fully expect both to become the norm.

Oh you’ll be able to get a phone that isn’t locked this way. With 4 generations out of date hardware at twice the price of the current flagship because it’s a niche product they just can not make at scale to be affordable.

Also I’ve said it elsewhere, local/personal compute is something I fully expect to become a rare and expensive hobby too.

Yep wildlife. The only crash I’ve ever had, happened after a fox ran out in front of the car. Your own driving is just one part of the equation.

Just testing the big red button is still working. Nothing to see here, no I mean literally nothing to see here!

That image crops out the best caps of all. The “Trump 2028” caps. What a world we live in.

It’s probably from the era when everyone had a Facebook account. In the modern era, I am sure a Tik-tok (is that what all the kids are doing now?) video would suffice.

Oh I am sure there’s a backup. I guess I’m interested in whether they’re actually using it or not.

Maybe they can check people like me that deleted on their reddit posts and comments… See if the AI can see all that “removed” content :P

There’s also helgrind if you’re doing multi-thread. Man that will slow things down a lot.
