I mean there’s no sources cause (as far as I can tell) Microsoft isnt planning on nuking their market share.

But with 365, you get the cloud subscription. So that means OneDrive and Office files/emails being accessible in the cloud. Which, to be fair, is largely a really useful thing and besides OneDrive being a piece of shit program I don’t hear any complaints about that being available.

Then when you install Windows it grabs a bunch of hardware IDs. This is things like what memory, CPU, graphics, drives, etc that you have installed and creates a “hardware key” that allows you to activate windows. When it does this, it sends that information off to Microsoft. According to Microsoft, it’s to stop you from using a license key multiple times. But in my experience it doesn’t really matter anymore.

But theoretically (and I really can’t stress how far fetched this really is) Microsoft could mark your account as inactive which would cause you to lose access to all of your cloud files, and could theoretically (again, i can’t stress how unlikely this is) brick your OS install. Then if you try to reinstall, it would already know your computer and prevent the installer from continuing.

And again, I know I’ve beaten this horse, but the chances of this happening are so close to zero, they may as well be.

Graphene doesn’t support any of my banking or MFA apps, at least last time I tried it.

Aren’t all Xbox games on windows now? Either through steam, the Microsoft store, or gamepass?

why do you apply

You make a lot of money and if you’ve been in FAANGs for a while then it’s a natural transfer.

But to back them up, one of my buddies interviewed at Microsoft, Google, and Meta all at the same time, and then was able to pit Google and Microsoft against each other to get a really really cool job.

Yeah I have and saying that kinda just makes you seem uninformed.

Like the people who call the US “a 3rd world country in a Gucci belt”. It just makes it super obvious that you don’t understand how high quality of a life the average person has in the US. Especially globally.

until it’s better we should simply ignore this

That seems like a strange comment to make. How will it get better if we don’t spend the time and effort to make it better?

Its the year of the linux desktop steam deck!

I’ve been talking about this for years! I got the idea from razer but I’m imagining the laptop chassis adds a nice screen, enormous battery, better IO, and then it just uses the touch screen as the track pad.

It could be so cool

Can you tell me more about these homemade android TV boxes? I built a really shitty front end to “turn” my Linux based mini PCs into a media streamer but it lacks things like Chromecast and reliability haha

$1000/month? Really?

Google Docs (and their online office programs) aren’t even the only valid option anymore. I mean even Office is only $6/month if you only want the web version, or $12.50/month if you want desktop apps.

someone will scrap NASAs current human space flight plans to promote their own plan, which in itself will be scrapped when a new administration comes in

Kinda like how each administration switches if we are going to Mars or the Moon next based purely on what the previous guy said haha

Because I read the article I actually know the answer! It’s the first time this technology has been used in a human, and it’s been a huge success so far. Quote from the article

The BiVACOR total artificial heart, invented by Queensland-born Dr Daniel Timms, is the world’s first implantable rotary blood pump that can act as a complete replacement for a human heart, using magnetic levitation technology to replicate the natural blood flow of a healthy heart.

I guess it depends on what you define as “basic SQL”. Because most people are already used to working with desktop apps, and familiar with the office programs specifically.

You’d essentially have to teach them programming. Its like when people say “terminal is better than GUI” (it’s me, I say that) but then you forget about all of the people who don’t know the difference between a desktop and a modem

To be fair I think Excel is faster to get a novice up to speed than teaching them to program

Source: Manage SQL database infrastructure for a living

Still probably not. The code also deleted files, deleted accounts, and created infinite loops which took down large chunks of the network and infrastructure.

You could take your code, but you can’t take down the company.

I only use chrome for my work stuff, and that’s because I work with g-suite a lot.

Chrome fucking sucks

Boost is why I’m here too :(

They have a Lemmy client but I haven’t been able to get it to work reliably for me. Which client are you using for lemmy?

1930 is chosen and is generally recognized as the cutoff for vintage cars

By who? I’m a big car guy and have never heard someone say a car has to be near 100 years old to be vintage. Most laws here in the states say 30. This is the only real source I could find that agrees with you but then it goes on to disagree with itself so idk.

Personally, I’d say “vintage” is 1950s and into the 1960s. I would say the C1 Corvette is “vintage”, but the C2 is “classic”.

Man do you remember how heated the “PlayStation vs Xbox” arguments used to get ?
