14% of people can’t do anything more complicated than deleting an email on a computer.
26% can’t use a computer at all.

So right off the bat, 40% probably don’t even know what a chatbot is.
Human-driven cars can be crashed with a brick, or a quart of oil.
Microsoft makes its money with Azure and M365 licenses for enterprise customers now.
Windows as a consumer operating system is a loss leader. The only reason it still exists is to breed familiarity with the MS ecosystem in all future employees.
This strategy works until a certain amount of really big businesses do the math and find out how many millions they can save each month by throwing their weight behind a Linux-based solution. Luckily for Microsoft, most CEOs and CTOs of these major corporations are forced by the shareholders to prioritize short term profit.
Rebuilding your infra and retraining your entire staff on a new ecosystem would be really expensive in the short term, even if it pays off in 5-10 years. And a high one-time cost is always harder to justify than a monthly amount that’s already budgeted into your operating costs and product prices.
So it’s still safer to stick to what you know, for now.
By the way, MS hasn’t been fighting against Linux for a long time.
They’re among the top contributers to the kernel, integrated Linux into Windows as a subsystem, run their own Azure backend on Linux servers, and post help articles on how to install Linux.
I know accounts aren’t transferrable, but what are they gonna do? Ban me after I left their service? Ban the account? That wouldn’t be worse than just letting it sit unused.
Ah yes, because in our economic system, people with no job can just relax at the beach all day.
Yes, but you’d still have twice as many cars on the road at any point in time, grinding everything to a standstill.
If you think a step further, it would double traffic.
I wonder how that’ll work in an urban area.
Thanks for the correction and clarification. Looks like I’ll have to return my degree from KSP academy.
The re-entry burn is the burn to slow down your spacecraft below orbital speeds, initiating re-entry.
Every spacecraft that wants to land back on earth after orbiting it needs to do a re-entry burn.
The only exception, theoretically, are spacecraft that return from outside earth’s orbit. They could in theory re-enter by steering towards the atmosphere at the right angle. I don’t know if they actually do that in practice or slow down to orbital speeds first, though.
The feature will obviously just be disabled on machines that don’t support it.
THIS IS AN X-PARROT!
I find the wording weird: The neuralink’s threads have retracted from the brain.
The threads can’t move or disconnect on their own. Neither can brain cells. All that can be measured is a loss of connection.
The far more reasonable explanation is that the brain cells at the connection point have died.
Oh shit, the sun came out and I forgot to put my Cybertruck into “Sunlight Mode”.
It’s bricked now, but it’s really my fault.
To a new social media platform where you have to send in a DNA sample to create an account.
They got certification from the authorities, and in the event of an accident, the manufacturer takes on responsibility.
Watching this right after an episode of Fallout hits different.
"Hey Janette. Switching to Linux will save the company $$$$$$$ per year.
Your options are:
If that’s the price to pay…still better than using Bing.
On Linux, all those drivers are already included in the kernel out of the box. Linux has much better hardware support than Windows in general, the only issue are proprietary drivers from third parties that don’t support Linux.
