I mean, with winter coming in, and universities not bothering to heat the building, teams turning my potato work laptop into a furnace is the only thing keeping us warm this winter...
Serious question - is their long term strategy bad optimisation to sell hardware? Do they have shares in intel or something?!?
Surprised Pikachu is much surprised.
Counteroffer - spend that $30 on a drink and turn them down. Just keep on using windows 10 and clog up their support tickets ^_^
Don't worry, the scientific community is working on getting it renamed to solve exactly this problem.
It's going to be called "urectum".

The big windows 10 problem is that it updates to windows 11.
Might be worth spinning up an external 1080ti on the lappy and see if the magic is finally there!
I'm not entirely sold - a lot of the time when troubleshooting games for my Ubuntu lappy I stumble across Nvidia issue threads.
Prays that 2025 is the year for solid NVIDIA support for Linux
Oh I definitely believe they won't make a wise decision - these past few years have been devastating when it comes to decisions.
Come visit academia some time... Copyright laws ensure we do all the work and get nothing in return;)
I rather think the point is being missed here. Copyright is already causing huge issues, such as the troubles faced by the internet archive, and the fact academics get nothing from their work.
Surely the argument here is that copyright law needs to change, as it acts as a barrier to education and human expression. Not, however, just for AI, but as a whole.
Copyright law needs to move with the times, as all laws do.
You know, one wonders if all academic works should be released under "academic license"...
Might be nice to sting these big companies for our free labour.
