I hate to say it, but it’s past time for armed militias to assemble and run these sick fucks out of there. They need to know that the people won’t fire the first shot but if one is fired, they and their dumbass buddies all die.

I’d love to see the numbers for computers with it immediately uninstalled.

Step 1: Start with lots of money

Step 2: Find a bunch of other rich idiots willing to invest their money.

I guess that’s one way to get me to support bombing Gaza.

There have been mass shootings in churches, they have caused substantial concern, brows were briefly furrowed and thoughts and prayers were solemnly ctrl+v’d.

I know history is full of nasty little dictators and their lackeys but have any of them ever been this fucking childish?

Maybe build something useful that solves a real problem?

That’s the problem. For now at least, we’re at the end of “new tech make line go up”. Crypto wasn’t it, neither were NFTs, LLMs are no different. All the low hanging fruit was picked a while back so they’re stuck trying to make us believe that there’s a Next Big Thing just around the corner when, at best, there’s some fairly niche and difficult to monetize tech requiring vast resources to work.

Corrected, thanks!

We even have small nuclear reactors that can use spent fuel from the larger ones, thus solving in part the disposal of it.

Do we? Last I heard there aren’t any in service.

Furthermore, significant advances have been achieved on fision power.

We’ll need a hell of a lot more advances before fusion is even close to powering a grid.

The C suite and management of these companies want two things - for the stock to go as high as possible, and for them to be able to sell at the top and leave a bunch of bag holders wondering what the fuck just happened.

I heard that police are supposed to be trained not to get their bodies in front of moving vehicles.

Fucking hell. Do they need to be trained not to look down the barrel of a gun to check if it’s loaded or to make sure their dick is in their underwear before they zip their pants?

That’s what happens when gun ownership is a right. It doesn’t matter how fucking stupid, irresponsible, or psychopathic you are, you still get access to firearms and there’s no pressure to learn how to handle them safely.

Hmm, the only barrier to upgrading was that the i5 processor wasn’t supported, no complaints about TPM/motherboard compatibility and a fresh install worked fine on the exact same hardware. Oh well, it’s done anyway.

I just went for a new installation. Why would that work? Just curious.

Thank you for this. I already did a fresh install but it’s interesting that your link is to the Surface subreddit just to rub some more salt in the wound. The processor is officially supported for upgrades only if it’s in Microsoft’s hardware. I hate them so much.

A cyberpunk style, tech-worshipping doomsday cult doesn’t sound too far fetched these days.

Given that he talks like an LLM trained exclusively on MBA bullshit, he’s only adding to the problem.

I detest this company for many reasons, it’s like they go out of their way to make dealing with them as painful as possible.

Here’s just one example I discovered today. I have a Windows 10 VM I needed to upgrade to 11 but the “PC Health Check” app says no, the i5 processor isn’t supported.

I can, however, create a new VM and install 11 on the exact same hardware, so that’s what I did, along with a whole bunch of extra work to get the new VM set up the same as the old Windows 10 VM was.

Why? Because fuck you, that’s why.

Assholes.
