What the actual fuck?!

😥

You could absolutely install software on Windows 3.5 that would crash the system.

A better comparison would be an iPhone. Apple has locked that down so much that it’s impossible to install something like CrowdStrike falcon, thus it’s not possible for something like this to happen.

Microsoft is saying if the EU would let them, they too could lock down their platform enough to prevent this from happening.

However, I would prefer to maintain control over my device and do what I want with it, instead of just what Apple/Microsoft want; even if that means I might break my device.

It’s unfortunate, but AI image generators will make exactly what you want, royalty free.

That depends on what your use case is. If you’re after gaming, I’d recommend Bazzite

I mean, their official discourse forums have a fair bit of documentation.

But Bazzite’s goal is to make things work so that people can spend their time playing their games instead of reading documentation.

Mann… the real world is way crazier than most fiction.

IIRC it wasn’t legal action from Nvidia, but rather AMD pulling the funding that killed ZLUDA.

False.

I work for Microsoft and I can assure you that any effort I make to increase code quality or reduce jank (or pretty much anything other than shoving more AI in our products) will not positively impact my bonus next year.
