Microsoft’s plan to end Windows 10 support next month — which may make an estimated 400 million PCs obsolete

I don’t get this. Can’t those PCs update to the new version? Yes, I am very aware that win11 is a shit show and win10 was better.

But Ubuntu also has a similar support policy for updates:

Ubuntu LTS versions get five years of updates, while non-LTS only gets nine months.

Would all the Linux versions out there be subjected the same 15 years of updates??

Just as the founding fathers intended

You’re probably being sarcastic here, but just to clarify, horseshoe theory is nonsense invented by centrists. Take Kirk for example. The left hated him for being a terrible human being. Groypers hated him for not being a terrible enough human being. Superficially the same, but trying to accomplish vastly different outcomes.

How much waste does solar produce for the same amount of energy to be delivered? A quick calculation from a very generous 30k kWh per solar panel lifetime results in almost 4 million solar panels for same amount of energy. How much of that waste would end up in a garbage heap? What is the environment cost to mine the materials for those solar panels? The environmental cost of the land needed to deploy them?

Saying “it’s like photosynthesis” is the most useless, reductionist analysis you could possibly do.

I don’t know if there’s data out there (yet) to support this, but I’m pretty sure constantly using AI rather than doing things yourself degrades your skills in the long run. It’s like if you’re not constantly using a language or practicing a skill, you get worse at it. The marginal effort that it might save you now will probably have a worse net effect in the long run.

It might just be like that social media fad from 10 years ago where everyone was doing it, and then research started popping up that it’s actually really fucking terrible for your health.

“Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so,” Valve’s statement sent over email to Kotaku reads. “Mastercard communicated with payment processors and their acquiring banks. Payment processors communicated this with Valve

This whole thing reads like a telephone game where nobody wants to take any responsibility.

the companies making the poison are probably now also selling you the cure

I swear, the reading comprehension of some people…

I literally prefaced it with a bunch of skepticism, and yes, I could have added potential misuse. If you just want to argue for argument sake, Reddit is a better place for you.

It’s frightening that this is the state of gun ownership in the US, and that the companies making the poison are probably now also selling you the cure. But all things considering, this might actually be a useful application of the tech.

The methods of mass killing on disease detection are also quite cruel

The way these people treat humans… I doubt they care how they treat animals. I’ve seen enough of how the factory farming industry “cares” for animals to not want to see how they do mass cullings.
