You’re right about domestic production but I think the situation is much worse. We’ve tried to make advanced chips domestically and we can’t do it. Taiwan has had decades to perfect the resource allocation, supply chains, knowledge, and work culture to make those damn things.
It should be an executive order to make them domestically, and put up with the years of failure and low output. It’s a matter of national security to be able to create and maintain computers and other advanced tech.
They’ve been phasing it out for years.
How does this work:
He’s not yet granted access to the US, so laws don’t apply to him.
He destroyed evidence, so laws do apply to him.
How can both of these statements exist at the same time? Why not just turn him away?
Even if they turned him away, he could get back in line with his clean phone and give them a working password.
Since this snuck into a bunch of folks index funds a whole lot of people just paid Elon musk.
Win95 was trash for a while. ME was always trash. OSX wasn’t great on release. Every Linux distro has had its time in the darkness.
I think 11 is going through some significant structural changes at a faster pace than before, while at the same time the natural greed of capitalism forced MS to get rid of things like large QA teams and support.
If MS were really interested they would begin open sourcing a lot of the things that don’t make them any money (calculator, clock, notepad, UI) and focus on the major items.
Outlook classic is one of the better examples of a legacy app with tons of integration capabilities that should have been overhauled years ago. The way plugins work is probably related to your issues.
The modern Outlook app is significantly more reliable but has its own quirks that are pretty painful when coming from classic.
Print out my campsite instructions since it’s supposed to be outside of internet service.
If you’re working on a manifesto it’s a good idea to print it out so it’s easy to find.
Because they really should be failing. These companies are leveraging against themselves and getting propped up by the government.
They will get bailed out just like 2008 to avoid a cataclysmic global financial meltdown. I won’t be surprised if other countries chip in to bail them out.
Apple is very litigious when it comes to their products, and has the capital and the best lawyers in the world available for them to call on.
The legal fees on this will cost millions.
Why won’t there be unbridled demand for these too?
It’s because your utility power costs go up at that time too. Since they didn’t prepare for the eventual home solar uprising they now have to find a way to make a profit somehow, and papa sing the cost through to you is the only thing they can think of.
They used to have agreements to make it difficult to do so. I don’t know if that’s still the case but it’s pretty awful. I think OEMs had to pay licenses for every machine shipped regardless if it had a windows license.
The other issue is that oems have a large amount of compatibility and support built up over the years for windows. They also know their customers can deal with Microsoft for “support” and ignore driver and support costs for whatever distro of Linux they were to choose.
Sure an OEM could lead the way and show everyone else the path to freedom but think of the shareholders
