Uh oh. Should I grab an iPhone now before those prices are raised?

Don't get your hopes up. The industry is well underway in migrating everything possible away from native apps to Electron.

Doesn't matter that's it's a myth, it's salient and has become a layperson talking point. This is an official post on nvidia.com that can be quoted: "The NVIDIA DSX reference design for AI factories has zero water consumption"

Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February

Cmon, it's in the article.

I expected some kind of fallout from Google nuking uBo. I've heard pretty much nothing so far.

They're working on it.

Thinking that Gmail thinks anything about you is giving them too much credit. The only reason for any of this is the desperation to juice their AI usage metrics.

More like a global economic depression

This feels like a sign of something very bad happening soon

For real. There has to be an RSS fan high up in the company, because RSS allows users to bypass the very thing YT are pushing so hard for i.e. recommendations and shorts.

Yes, it's very good. However, basically-every-current-multiplayer-shooter is a big missing category.

Coverage is still partial because some VERY popular games do not run on Linux due to anti-cheat

At the start of the year, Microsoft generated a lot of goodwill among Windows 11 fans when it announced its big plan to fix the operating system in 2026

The only thing generated was boatloads of incredulity and some laughs.

So why did they make taskbar bottom only in the first place? Too difficult to implement? Branding? No room for ads when it's vertical?

I'm in the same boat, have to use Windows at work. In addition to whatver MS is doing, every workstation is encumbered with various EDR and antivirus software.

For sure, but 11 is on a whole new level in my experience.

Too late, idiots. Just as Windows 10 was being retired, you ran the craziest anti-marketing campaign I've ever seen and successfully coaxed me into switching my daily driver to Linux. Until this year, I've been using windows my ENTIRE life.

Many problems in the world would be solved if people actually read Economics 101.

Author seems to enjoy writing posts that get lots of votes on site that I would describe as eye-rending, especially the "normal" yellow color scheme. It's aggressively unpleasant to read.

tonsky.me is a troll site that should be banned from being posted on HN

I'm raising my hands, you got me.

There are three browsers: FF, Chrome, Safari. I'm not on Apple so FF is the least worst option.

I use Firefox because I don't want to use a browser provided by an advertising company e.g. Chrome.

It's simple advertising. People have a higher chance to use a product if it is advertised to them. I don't think there is a microsoft app these days that doesn't have a copilot logo visible in it at all times (even Paint).

Windows itself is about to change in a really big way such that it already requires AI-specific hardware

The AI models that everyone wants to use are cloud based. What is the purpose of AI hardware on users' machine?

Nothing. MS decision makers are fulfilling their duty to maximize profit by utilizing Windows to funnel users towards their most profitable, revenue generating, services of Azure and Office Copilot 365.

This is often the case with Google products because the A/B testing is rampant.

Residential internets are now proxies for AI scrapers.

Windows struck the iceberg back in 8. It took until 11 for people to finally start to abandon ship in numbers.

De-googled Chromium? This does not compute.
