Maybe, I started a new job 9 months ago going down on the evil scale, but I was meaning in general not specific to now or anywhere in particular. It might not be a great time to get a new job as a dev, but you still almost certainly have more freedom to do so than a janitor.
More, but not much more. Presumably the developers have more capability to get another job elsewhere and are less constrained by economic neccessity. Even then though their amount of “guilt” is tiny compared to those in decision making roles.
It’s not, to provide 2 weeks of storage (a reasonable amount to cover a period of no wind in winter) for the UK would cost about 2,000 Billion USD at current Li-ion prices.
Intermittent renewables are great as a component of energy generation but storage costs become prohibitive as you get to large fractions of intermittent power generation.
“Let me help subsidise a company paying below minimum wage” totally normal not batshit insane idea.

and then the same amount of energy is used in just burning gasoline (never mind diesel and kerosine)
Yup, you can download as many youtube videos, news articles and images as you like!
Its so American to make your own-brand Christmas a month early then call Christmas food a knock off of that!
Gosh you’ve certainly got them there, no way they could spot that and its bound to ruin their whole model with that 0.00001% of input it represents.
FWIW doctor comes from the latin for “I teach” and has been used by acedemics since the 12th centrury. Its usage meaning physician is a lot more recent.
Ironincally using older AI instead of current.
Looks like they’re getting a bit nervy that this forced obsolescence might actually push some people away from windows

That’s a reasonable stance to take when said company is just one competing in a marketplace. But when they are a monopoly operating a quasi-utility that should be public its not good enough.
Ok I’m done here if you’re just going to start making shit up. No they did not announce that they would record peoples screenshots without their permission and start uploading them to their servers.
I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding what I am saying. I’m not saying they “wouldn’t do this, they’re not that bad” I’m saying “they wouldn’t do this as it would get them little, they’d get caught and it would have bad blowback for them”.
They’re also not stealing peoples bank accounts or blackmailing people with personal information. Again, just because they are shitbags does not mean every bad thing you can come up with no evidence is true.
No I don’t need to “pick a lane”, just because Microsoft are awful does not mean any claim about them doing a bad thing is sensible no matter how far fetched. Microsoft do care about how windows is perceived by businesses (as opposed to you and I think about them, which they do not care about), and the risk of doing what you are alleging is very high for them (easy to detect) and would have severe negative consequences for them (oops, cant use windows in healthcare as its leaking PII). To add to this the only evidence you are presenting for it is “windows is slow”.
Saying “new windows is slow as hell” is not evidence that they are capturing and sending off screenshots (which is far more intrusive than even the first fucked up proposal for recall before they walked it back significantly). ME and Vista were both slow as shit too but they weren’t doing this.
Again windows is spying on you, just not in that particular way which would be very easy for security researchers to discover and would be catastrophic for businesses trust in Microsoft if it was discovered.
Yes I am aware of recall, and that it is only available on specific AI focused PCs (copilot+). Dont get me wrong its a been a complete clusterfuck in they way they have done it, but if windows was using regular windows installs to gather screenshots and then phone them home it would be both incredibly stupid on Microsoft’s part (for a huge amount of companies that would be a deal breaker) and be very discoverable.
Yes, I’m sure random commentors on the internet know better than the NSA what an appropriate use of AI is when it comes to cyber security…
