yeah but they are all completely crippled by a touchscreen

as opposed to just spewing it out in the air? (carbon 14 is a thing, those things emit a lot more radioactivity to the environment)

that's what I'm complaining about. If there can be plans now, why was the original plan just "let it rot"?

they're functionally extinct

with his death and the huge focus on trying to protect me from myself, I can see linux becoming even more restrictive than android. He's one of the few sane ones left.

it's still dog slow. As in 30 seconds to load the calndar slow.

it would be a missed opportunity in the sense of "if they can allow it to be turned it back on to waste its power on this dead-end tech, why couldn't it have been allowed to operate again (earlier) for reasons we actually need?"

I'm not putting the blame on microsoft here, even though it might seem that way. But it's not microsoft who need to give the go-ahead for this to happen. It's the higher ups who decided to give the capacity to microsoft.

Yes it was still going to be used, but they could have been paying out the ass for it, which could fund other projects.

we could use that extra energy to offset a bunch of existing carbon emissions now. This is still waste. If it's going to be started up again, and its energy used for something useless, it's waste.

computer graphics has existed for quite long. It seemed possible to do just last year.

I do have that extension installed. Never been bit so far. I don't copy and paste anymore than a couple of lines at a time.

notice how short all the clips you saw were? That's because it becomes incoherent after a short while.

because that's not how a phone is used.

But it is how any phone/desktop/laptop pollworks. So you're proving my point. Most can't even tell if the file they want is on the device in the first place, if they use stuff like cloud backups. To those people, the file is "in google". Not tech savvy
