lead to Russians running into Narva

I have bad news for you

Yeah I’d much rather take that over any sexuality. It’s a much deeper insight into my personality than just “straight”.

I’m saying they might send people the bill and then these people (well, companies) are going to have to fight it in court, where they’ll be right for sure, but Microsoft can make a lot of stupid arguments to prolong the whole thing, to the point where it’s cheaper to pay the license fee. For one they could say that continued use of the operating system constitutes agreement to licenses and pricing.

Either way this is server 2025 not windows 12. We’re talking about companies here, not people.

It is, but they never forced anyone to take the update, so that might save their asses, or it might not

Ah, but did you read the article?

MS didn’t force it, Heimdal auto-updated it for their customers based on the assumption that Microsoft would label the update properly instead of it being labeled as a regular security patch. Microsoft however made a mistake (on purpose or not? Who knows…) in labeling it.

It would help your point if you told us what these virtual spaces being bulldozed are.

And who’s going to buy anything for this local currency if it starts appreciating? It’ll be the death of economy.

productivity increase will pay for that over the next month or so

It’s like a YouTuber apology. “Oh I done fucked up, I am so sowwy” while sitting on a cozy couch in a multi-million-dollar home

When COVID hit, the management team at the company I worked for, took temporarily salary hits. The rest of us were told our quarterly bonuses would be frozen. Nobody would be laid off unless it’s an emergency.

Company pivoted in just a few months thanks to smart executive decisions and hard working engineers. The quarterly bonuses were paid out anyway. Nobody was laid off. We saved a bunch of our B2B customers’ livelihoods by offering solutions that helped them continue operate during lockdowns (and our company’s income was directly dependent on THEIR income - if they suffered, we suffered, if they prospered, we prospered). Of course, the CEO was also the founder of the company and at that point, there had been no investors or anyone involved. It was truly a family-run company that had made it big.

THAT is accountability. Doing whatever you can to keep your staff employed and your customers happy.

That company has since enshittified because of management changes and I’ve left for greener pastures, but if I’m ever in charge of my own company and the financials look bleak, I’ll take the hit myself. It’s easier to replace money than it is to replace good, hard working people. And good people will help you pivot if your business model is no longer working out.

The problem is that if I have bitcoin, I can’t fucking spending it as currency, now can I? I’ll hate myself tomorrow when it’s gone up 2x.

So if everyone has bitcoin, everyone HODLs, no currency changes hands and the economy just dies because nobody buys or sells anything.

The minor inflation in EUR or USD accomplishes the exact opposite: Money keeps changing hands. The rich, obviously, want to keep everything they have. But oh look, if you just hoard it, it keeps slowly losing value over time! Now these rich assholes (along with anyone else who has significant savings) have to invest their money if they want it to keep value or even appreciate in value - and when it’s invested, that means someone else can actually do something with the money.

Might very well be, look at the username.

I sure as hell hope so. My generation, myself included, seems a bit lazy in comparison. I suppose the oldest of us millennials got hit hard by 2008, but I personally didn’t, I was a teenager. So really, we’ve grown accustomed to living in good times and that makes people lazy. I reckon Gen Z and soon Alpha are going to pick up where we’ve failed and I’m ready to grab the popcorn.

This might be different in my country where we don’t have a potential upcoming Trump presidency, BUT we’re still affected by American politics. Last time Trump got elected, we had a huge surge in right wing Christian family values politics. We’re an atheist or at best pagan nation at heart so this felt so fake from the get-go. Wdym “back to our Christian roots”? We used to fight Christianity with pitchforks and stuff!

£20 should still get you a meal of some kind until the credit cards and cash machines are back, hopefully within a few hours or next day at the latest.

Can’t really say I even have that much on me most of the time though - perhaps I should change that, keep a minimum of like €50 that’s only touched in an emergency or something. Swedbank has had several outages in the last few months here in Estonia and it affects many stores’ payment terminals too.

Hmm, but did they say the last version of Windows, or the last version of Windows you’re going to buy? And if it’s the latter, is the upgrade to Windows 11 free? If yes, then technically it’s still correct.

I doubt they want my fun and safe math optimizations either tbh

Yeah, but Elon’s self-driving cars aren’t self-driving, nor are they necessarily as safe a good driver.

There are people out there who shouldn’t be able to drive, and in sane countries many of them don’t manage to get their licenses. But in the US for an example, apparently you can’t get anywhere without a car, so until the public transit situation is solved, drivers licenses need to be given out like candy :/ Exception being some cities with awesome public transit. The only one I’ve been to is NYC, where most people don’t really need to drive. I’d say the transit there is better than in my country.

And the worst part is that even once real SDCs exist and can be bought, not everyone can afford them. Or maybe they’ll be more like Uber or Bolt in that you hail one from an app and it picks you up - but then people in rural areas are still fucked without being able to drive themselves.

It looks to me like the center part is thicker than the edge so the corner might not be flat against the desk. But I’m completely sure if it’s enough.

So does anyone’s desktop PC that they’re too lazy to power off and I can guarantee those will waste even more.

It IS an 8 year old game at this point though - many games don’t get fixes beyond the first patch or 2.
