...attracting criticism from lawmakers, who warn it could...

Oh my, if only there were someone with the resources and authority to do something about it.

I'm more concerned with the transformations from customers to product.

A lot of unpopular "features" and behaviors used to have DISM, policy, or registry workarounds. And MS seems to love to kill those workarounds during later updates.

If MS isn't letting people uninstall it, there's a reason for it, and I'd be willing to bet that users will one day find that it has been magically re-enabled by an update.

They don't care as long as they can get in, make a few bucks, and get out. Long-term stability isn't the priority anymore, just quick profits.

 

I was presented with this captcha before completing an online purchase this morning on my phone. The window is too small to see all of the images or the "Verify" button.

I did eventually realize that I can swipe upwards to scroll down a bit and see the rest, but there's no visual indicator to do so. It took me a bit to figure it out.

I love this way of thinking about it.

I haven't been interested in AI enough to try writing code with it, but using it as an interactive rubber ducky is a very compelling use case. I might give that a shot.

These two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Oh my, what a throwback. Nicely done.

Your analogy is very incomplete. No one is saying that Intel's products or technology is "moving backwards", but rather that their market share and performance as a company are declining.

Take your person "standing still" and imagine they were previously in the lead during a marathon and suddenly stopped before the finish line. They're not moving backwards, but their position in the race is dropping from first, to second, to third, and they will eventually be last if they don't start moving again.

It's only a matter of time before it's not an option anymore. Every shitty new behavior they put in is an easy-to-use option at first, then a registry setting or policy, then even that goes away and it gets baked in.

From the hovertext: "I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I'm leaving you."

After years of a dozen other languages, I finally tried Perl the other day.

Never again, if I can help it.
