BestBouclettes , 2 months ago to Technology in Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone

The choice is hard to make when Microsoft's garbage has been shoved down your throat for decades, it's the default pretty much everywhere and the only viable alternative, for 99% of the population, is Apple.

Governments have been way too lenient and passive towards Microsoft for far too long

BestBouclettes , 2 months ago to Technology in 'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I suppose that depending on the location you might not want to have stray bullets landing at random, also depending on the size and the speed of the drone it might be hard to target.

Yeah my company enabled the use of copilot with our corporate Microsoft accounts. I don't understand how you can open such a massive can of worms to ALL your users. It's pretty much begging for information to completely leave corporate control. It's absolutely insane.

I always read that people were angry at the execution not at the idea itself. It was pretty obvious that she was gonna snap and go genocidy, but the way she did was dumb and nonsensical imo.

I kind of agree with the idea but it's absolutely not enforceable in any practical way. What we need is more awareness and parental control, but other than that, I'm not sure what else could be done that wouldn't screw everyone over. (Like identity and age control, which would be an absolute nightmare)

Is he one of the "thinking he's the Master Race while looking like a rat" kind of person?

BestBouclettes , 3 months ago to Technology in Microsoft to separate Teams and Office globally amid antitrust scrutiny

The problem with that is when a company like Microsoft has used and abused its position for such a long time that the only possible competition is another megacorp. No real choice there, only an illusion of choice.

BestBouclettes , 3 months ago to Technology in Microsoft to separate Teams and Office globally amid antitrust scrutiny

From Teams plus office 10 euros a month per user to
Office alone 9 euros a month per user and Teams alone 5 euros a month per user.

Microsoft would never do that now, would they ?

BestBouclettes , 3 months ago to Technology in After 114 days of change, Broadcom CEO acknowledges VMware-related “unease”

Well that was my point, moving to the cloud requires drastic changes in the way your infra works. You cannot have full fledged VMs running at 10% of capacity 95% of the time like you do on prem. You need to be able to scale up and down on a whim with containers/micro services/whatever you call it. I've worked with a lot of companies that never understood that and bitterly regretted moving to the cloud.

BestBouclettes , 3 months ago to Technology in After 114 days of change, Broadcom CEO acknowledges VMware-related “unease”

A panicky move to the cloud might be extremely expensive too. Especially if you don't have cloud ready applications (old on prem apps, full fledged VMs, etc. )
