Ubiquity is a US company, but all their stuff is made in Asia.
Linksys is a US company formerly owned by Cisco, but all their stuff is manufactured in Asia.
Netgear is a US company, but all their stuff is manufactured in Asia.
ASUS is Taiwanese.
I guess the router supplied by your ISP might be exempt?
Altman is a well known liar. He was even fired by the board of OpenAI for lying to them previously.
That helps against sparks jumping between the balloon and the ground, but things could still get zappy between the individual components of the balloon.
No worries, that only happens if there’s a spark, like for instance some static electricity. Shouldn’t be a problem here, surely this thing won’t generate any of that.
It’s admittedly been a while since last time I saw it, but I never mentioned chess. The suggestion to play chess in the screenshot is a callback to when the computer tries to suggest playing chess instead of global thermonuclear war earlier in the movie. The computer did not apply tic tac toe learnings to chess, and I never claimed it did.
You should! Actually a pretty accurate depiction of hacking. He spends weeks war dialing every phone number in the range in order to hack the computer.
I don’t know if we’re doing spoilers for 40+ year old movies, but
Isn’t this really its conclusion after being told to play tic tac toe against itself? Then it learned from that and applied it to its global thermonuclear war simulations.
Should be possible to make a compatibility layer. You can run android apps on PC now, according to constant banners on Play Store.
The biggest issue is hardware support. Mobile hardware still uses custom drivers for everything, so you wouldn’t be able to ramp up a new OS on existing hardware. You’d need to invest in making both a phone and an OS, and that’s a big risk considering only a small amount of turbo nerds will care.
I assume “destructively scan” means to cut the spine off so they lie flat, and that one copy of each book will be scanned? Isn’t that a pretty normal way of doing it in cases where the prints aren’t rare?
I discovered that there’s a separate application which just reinstalls Teams all the time. I don’t remember the name, but it had Teams in the name. After I uninstalled that it finally stopped popping up.
I think it’s more that they’re not really making money on Windows anymore. The money is in cloud services like Office 365. So Windows is just being used to push people towards what actually makes Microsoft money, disregarding whether they actually want those services.

Note that this article completely buries the lede. This is the last paragraph:
#Enterprise pushback is also influencing decisions#
Separately, enterprise users have pushed back against Copilot in managed environments, prompting the software giant to test options that would allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot more easily on business devices. This indicates that the rethink isn’t just about consumer sentiment but also addresses corporate deployment challenges.
The reason they’re having second thoughts is due to enterprise customers, who are the only customers they really care about the opinion of. If it was just home users complaining, they would not be adjusting course.
I imagine this is why MS is finally backtracking a bit on the aggressive pushing of AI in every app. They’re doing Clippy all over again, but OS-wide this time.
Just impressive how hard they managed to screw the pooch here. Have they forgotten that every other Windows release is universally hated? They had a good thing going until they discontinued Windows 10 before Windows 12 was out. Now they’ll probably need to rush out another version, because the name Windows 11 is forever tainted.
In this case “Doomer” is probably an alternate word for Gen Z. They are sometimes called the doomer generation.
You realize that the spam is not coming from the actual line owning the number, right? They can spoof the number, so they could make it look like it came from any number. If they put some effort into researching you, they could make the spam look like it came from your mom.
Mamdani has charisma, and Trump is extremely easy to manipulate. He usually parrots the last person he talks to.
They know exactly what they’re doing and how people feel about it.
They haven’t made money on Windows in years. Nobody has been willing to pay for a new version of Windows since XP. What they do make money on is cloud services. So Windows is a loss leader.
Just like the cheap rotisserie chicken at Costco is there to make your walk past and look at everything else they’re selling, the modern role of Windows is to funnel people towards Microsoft cloud services, which is what makes them money. Step 1 of that process is to make sure you create a Microsoft account.
Except if you’re calculating dates from a long time ago. It famously takes some liberties with leap years.
One of two things happened:
Or:
In my experience, tech companies, especially b2b, just don’t innovate. They coast on existing products, and just sometimes reactively implement things enough customers are asking for explicitly.
