Was a bit tongue in cheek. Edge can download Linux. Rufus puts it on a USB stick, and goodbye Windows. Then, I can use my computer.

Rufus is the first (and only) program I install on Windows =]
Yup. Stopped answering questions as soon as they did that.
In response to:
Moreover, the claim that they can harm the software is unwarranted because it is OPEN and many eyes are on it.
The xz attack was an intentional backdoor put into a project that was "OPEN and many eyes are on it." Also, it was discovered due to the way it was executing and not because someone found it in the source. The original assumption has been proven wrong.
xz attack was an open source attack and it would be silly to assume that it was unique.
This opinion is a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of tech journalism screaming "AI software engineer" after each new model release.
Get it in the schools. It's a bad habit from many people's childhood that they need to break. Make that original habit not suck.
You want to see a picture of me when I was younger?
I'm not sure what metric you're using to determine this. The bottom line is, if you're trying to get the CPU to really fly, using memory efficiently is just as important (if not more) than the actual instructions you send to it. The reason for this is the high latency required to go out to external memory. This is performance 101.
Just wanted to point out that the number 1 performance blocker in the CPU is memory. In the general case, if you're wasting memory, you're wasting CPU. These two things really cannot be talked about in isolation.

No dude. It peaks pretty soon. In my time, Microsoft is touting a chat program that starts in under 10 seconds. And they're genuinely proud of it.

I used to buy broken video cards on ebay for ~$25-50. The ones that run, but shut off have clogged heat sinks. No tools or parts required. Just blow out the dust. Obviously more risky, but sometimes you can hit gold.
