So Microsoft is essentially doing what Google and Apple have been doing for years and we think Microsoft are anti consumer because of this?

I'm pretty sure they essentially are "one time use" only.

Extremely simplified:

They run for 20-30 years without refueling, which means the reactors/system could be built more compact, a higher level of safety and require less maintenance / monitoring / fine-tuning.

All those parameters are connected in an equation which means if you want higher safety you have to make another parameter "worse". By making the system "one time use" you set the "refuelability" and "repairability" parameters to the lowest and can therefore up the other parameters.

Also, military requirements are very different from civilian.

Yup. /r/Datahoarder guided me right. Got two of the recommended model of MyBook and shucked them. This was 2-3 years ago. Disks are still going strong in my NAS.

Did you just try to angle my comment to be about people with disabilities being less capable and/or of less value?

What I countered was a claim where the first part stated that everyone has a life, which is just not true. For the second part of the claim to have any value in the sentence, the first part has to be true. Which it wasn't.

Whether I read it wrong or not doesn't change the fact that I never limited my statement to be about people with disabilities or disabilities automatically taking the life away from people.

So I stand by my claim, that not everyone of the 8 billion living in this planet has a life and people that care about them.

I'm pretty sure not everyone has a life and people who cares about them.

Yup, They did.

Why wait with the switch until 2025?

Reported, rule 5

Well, at least when you used to buy windows you were the user and the customer.

With Google you're just the product.

I'd argue that Windows 11 is a result of what Google has been getting away with Android.

Google has shown Microsoft that the users happily pay money for giving up the control of their device. While Android was open 10 years ago, Google has worked hard to lock it down for 99% of the end users. The amount of personal data they get from each device is staggering.

Cool. Where can I read up on the catalog of Tidal?

Nice idea but the chances of that happening is close to zero.

If you take the top 10000 companies around the world that use some open source software and count the amount of full time employees that contribute with code to open source projects I would be extremely surprised if you would reach 10000 contributers in total.

I love the philosophy behind open source but business people doesn't understand why it's valuable for them to have additional cost associated with "employees helping competitors".

Business people are the ones pulling the strings in the corporate world.
