didn’t another german state already try this and fail pretty spectacularly?? cost them WAY more money and then they ended up rolling back to m$??
given that, this is fantastic news! it’s good to see people learn from past failed implementations, hopefully learn from their mistakes, and try again instead of just blaming it on bad software

- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 2 weeks ago:
this seems incredibly short sighted… the current situation exists because there is a large amount of infrastructure and data centres being built. once that infrastructure is built, the demand will return to normal… OR once the bubble bursts, the market will be flooded with used ram from failed data centres… aliexpress will be selling ram at a dollar a gig when all these data centres flop

I talked myself out of upgrading to 64gb six months ago when I still could have grabbed 32gb of ddr4 for like $80… Kicking myself over that decision

- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 4 weeks ago:
Ps3 barely squeaked out a win in the last year or two, the 360 was the leading console for most of that generation.
Looking back now, I have a modded 360, and any titles that came out for both systems, the Xbox usually was the better version. The modding process for Xbox was a huge pain in the ass though, while the ps3 is super easy to run a software exploit and unsigned code (aka ethically sources ISOs)
7th gen was such a great generation of consoles. they hold up because hd and they are still super fun because no micro transaction bullshit

- Comment on My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse 3 months ago:
Remember the early 2000s? Updates would regularly add shitty bloat and break features. Upgrading to the latest version of anything was always a bad move.
It’s only maybe the last ten years or so that we have expected updates to fix shit and not break it…
