My point was that defending the pissing contest over standards that gave us consumers six ports instead of one to do all the same tasks really misses the mark, imo.

Yeah.   AI may grind for a while but hardly anyone has put the current stuff to work, yet.   We will be feeling the benefits of what is released right now for a decade to come.   I am working on a very rudimentary application that will use ML at work and it won’t come out for 12 more months, and it hardly does anything but make the most obvious decisions 10m times faster than I can.   But it’s going to fundamentally change our labor model.

There are regular folks applying amazing technologies that go way beyond content generation.

The tech may grind but the application of that tech is barely getting its feet and should run hard for a decade.

That’s what prisoners say. You are so conditioned to it that you prefer it.

Look at all those ports I’ll never need

We should have had USBC 20 years ago.

Yes. Name one useful product Google has released in 15 years.

We need that connection to your brain in order to $urvive.

I think their point is that Microsoft literally had all the information they needed to prevent this from happening and they just didn’t because they were incompetent or some other human reason that had nothing to do with server capacity or or a missing Ethernet cable. There was nothing “unknown” here.

Scaling to meet demand is literally their job. Supposedly best, which is why they have been awarded military contracts.

They lost situational awareness, or they never had it.

So, a chart?

Old person thanks you

The corporations are people too!

I am missing something. Where else would you install Windows but the HDD? (I haven’t installed windows in 20 years so I don’t know)
