- Comment on Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs 4 days ago:
Apple has its own can of worms, but privacy usually isn’t the issue. At least in comparison to other tech giants.

I think that’s “pissed in”, which is different.

There are plenty of ethical things you can do with $1 billion. It’s the acquisition that’s questionable.

As I said, those are all 1st party applications. I don’t see it anywhere being OS-wide. And what’s “smartlook”? Do you mean Spotlight? I haven’t seen any AI in Spotlight, but I also haven’t installed (the janky) Tahoe yet.

On MacOS, at least for now, AI isn’t prominent at all. I’ve been using an M4 Air for a month before I remembered that Apple Intelligence was a thing and had to google how to use it. So far it only seems to be partially available in 1st party Apple apps which I don’t use anyway.

I always do that Neo dodge, but we all know how that ended.

Wtf is “whatnot”? How is it amongst such well-known stuff (except Instructure, too, I guess)?
- Comment on GOG: We’re thrilled to announce that the Crysis Remastered Trilogy has joined our catalog, and the original Crysis is now part of the GOG Preservation Program! 3 weeks ago:
I wasn’t talking about LAN but but playing online on public servers. And I wasn’t saying it as a bad thing, just tempering expectations. Iirc, you have to patch the game, then create an account for the GameSpy replacement. There were some stability issues, too, but if you find a decent server it was ok.
But after all of that the main issue was, of course, lack of players.

Warhead was like Crysis 1.5, actually. But I have tried playing the original Crysis online a couple years ago and it’s possible. Not super convenient, but possible.

I wouldn’t say it’s ugly per se, but it’s rather distinctive and we have developed an association with it.

The “slop” part they’re talking about is the logo itself. You can tell it’s made by Sora because of the font, and to an extent the proportions of items being off.
- Comment on effective advertising to boost your business 3 weeks ago:
And you can barely even tell this was made with Sora.

Shouldn’t it be “lie around”?
- Comment on Delivery time: Strong. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think users actually write those. You just pick the amount of stars and the term is hardcoded for the amount. It most likely is just a translation mishap.

Huh. Well, to be fair it’s been a while since I played it…

Hmm… I don’t remember that being in the original.

Why, exactly?

Umm… Is the joke that what we see is actually a very small part of EM spectrum and things that we’re unable to see is the vast majority? Or just that “haha rainbow gay”?
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 months ago:
I’m pretty sure most regular users will not even notice the charge, and find it useful down the line. Cause one day they will mess something up, complain to MS that they “lost their work”, will be pointed to the cloud where everything was synced, and rejoice. Most users don’t really care about the implications that their documents are in the cloud.

They aren’t trying to prevent regular people from using unlicensed Windows, it’s mostly for corporation. As mentioned before, they are better off letting ppl use it and gather data and stuff. Keep people dependent on the OS.

Some features and settings. Like, for example any desktop customization.

What they mean is that it’s like WinRAR, you can use it without a license forever, but you’ll have features locked and get constantly nagged to purchase license.
