So the problem with thin margins on the hardware side is what’s stopping a user from just installing their own OS once they figure out they can do the same thing you’re doing on the same hardware?

I mean, if you’re making a conscious effort to read that totally wrong…. yeah, that’s what it says.
It’s not a war crime if it’s the first time……
Yeah, I love Linux and would use it on everything if I could, but the bottom line is, it’s cheaper to pay Microsoft for something that “just works” with the literal decades old software businesses have used without major issue than it would be to help fund development for a Linux based version.
It’s not fair, it’s not right, and you could probably make an argument that it’s not ethical, but the fact of the matter is, Windows does work. It’s got a whole boatload of quirks and every day I wonder why I hate myself so much that I chose a career that involves working on Windows so much, but it does do its job.
Plus, I know Canonical isn’t the most popular company either, but do people think them, Redhat, SUSE, and whatever other company isn’t out to make money?
I just came from another post where the user said they would love to switch from Windows and just needed someone to explain how to do it with a list of features and programs they always use and asking what the Linux equivalent would be.
They made the mistake of saying they needed Outlook for work and there was a commenter that basically said that that person was never going to like Linux and they needed to stay far away from it because the user “painted themselves into a corner.” The commenter even took the time to call it “Micro$oft” lol
Luckily for me I think I like her VP pick more than her! Keep him around all the time!
Absolutely it was better. But it’s hard to believe that Apple, who was a part of the USB-IF, didn’t know USB-C was in the works. My conspiracy theory is they knew an open standard was imminent and launched lightning to keep getting those MFI licensing checks and purposely made that long of a commitment strictly so, when regulators asked why they hadn’t switched to the new standard yet, they could say it was to “help the environment.”
And they promised to do so for at least 10 years.

This comment could probably work under any post about her.
Let’s be real, it’s in those companies best interest that we never know even if they are seeing that. As soon as someone got a DMCA notice because their Roku told the government they pirated Deadpool, there would be a massive amount of damage control required.
It’s a fucking chair. On wheels. The person using it can sit anywhere they want!
Why has the headline “The International Olympic Committee requires you to sign away your life like a fucking cult” not been plastered across every news organization yet?
Oh, I agree it’s definitely a good thing but it’s also good for kids to be without it as well and learn how to be bored. Because one day the battery will die or they’ll need to sit through something boring and not able to whip out their phone out.
I struggled quite a bit missed in college to pay attention without just getting my phone or phone out and zoning out (which I’m not convinced may have been from undiagnosed ADD or something similar, but I still needed to learn to keep my attention on something less exciting)
I think this genuinely valuable research. Attention spans in kids are nearly non-existent. My own daughter refuses to be in a long car ride without her tablet.
A small help/guide about how to use this great technology to my child’s benefit rather than detriment is fine with me.
I think that’s what sets this one apart (and makes it less expensive) from the other devices like this. This thing only needs a mic, an LLM and a Bluetooth radio. It won’t search the whole internet for answers or tell you what you’re looking at, but it will talk shit on that bitch Tonya in accounting with you.
Yeah…… for the people that will vote for Trump “used a slur in the 90s” isn’t the grand reveal they think it is.
I guarantee you half the people are here and got started self-hosting BECAUSE they wanted to start pirating.
My eyes were bad. Like couldn’t see something three feet from my face bad. I’m 6 feet tall, so walking without glasses was out of the question. The first night I got up to pee and didn’t have to hunt for my glasses was magical.
They could reveal the switcharoo in Doctor Strange 4: 2 fast 2 Dormammu
