Nah he cosplayed as a goth once when he was a teenager. Other than that, he has always been a failed nerd.

Edit: apologies, that is what he is saying in the tweet, yes

The cost savings will be immense, productivity and innovation will no longer be impaired by incapable self centred arseholes playing political games, … I can see that working.

This is not Trellix ePO as you can make exclusions. No, this reeks of Defender.

Thanks, bought a few too

I am very sure Trump does not actually think, at best he works based on instinct, but so does his chaotic band of mouth-breathing, blood-seeking raging insurrectionists.

Or it is protection money. “Nice apple you got there, would be a shame if anyone took a bite out of that”….

FWIW, you do not seem interested in an honest discussion, merely arguing in bad faith or trolling.

Yes, but solar cells are in the end very simple products made of very simple resources, with a limited task: concerting one type of energy into another. That said, there is still research in making them more efficient and cheaper, and the that research isn’t cheap.
But generative AI / LLM takes an insane amount of resources to train and maintain, is complex to create, with a very complex task, and a slight increase in quality takes progressively more resources (like, say 10% better would be 50% more energy use - I don’t have the numbers anymore but iirc they were even worse). A better LLM would therefore be much, much more expensive while people are apparently already underwhelmed with the latest models. With the growing competition, fast rising costs and meagre quality updates, while already unable to financially sustain themselves right now, I truly don’t see it. Honestly, this is why I think Microsoft is cramming their subpar Copilot into everything - to sort of justify all the money they pumped into this.

I am honestly very very curious: how?

Hahaha. April 1st is early this year.
They are never going to make enough money by selling licenses and subscriptions for the cost of their current models (smarter people than me have made good estimates), let alone the future ones. Those future models are at a much worse performance-cost ratio. Ads will at best bring in about 1 usd per user per month (estimated by Facebook revenue and number of users) - double or triple it just for lolz, and they would still be losing money.
So… how will this be pulled off? Only wrong answers!

I’ll leave it as it is now, but you are probably right.

Hard disagree: anything is a target for criminals like the NSO Group; blaming Whatsapp specifically for this muddies the discussion. Sure, you should avoid it - for other reasons, do a proper risk assessment please.

You mean because of Freedom of Speech? I think it’s not that hard; your freedom ends where someone else’s freedom begins. Propaganda and advertising for example are designed to force you into believing something / thinking in ways that you wouldn’t, so you are effectively cut off from thinking and believing like you would have been doing without that pressure.

I was pondering over Amiga Workbench, but Alma is nice too

Ahhh another Michel Lotito connoisseur!

Excellent

Probably confused with criminal endorsed Telegram

Because, as an example, some very important services communicate solely through Xitter. Emergency alerts, fire depart, governmental bodies, etc. Do I despise that? Yes. Do I ask them to move? Yes. Are they? Hell no.

A trashy website full of ads, that’s the most accurate description of Windows indeed. Nice.
