I hope they've been thoroughly cleaned, my trash can is disgusting from trashbags filled with dirty diapers being ripped open and they still happily dive into that hell whenever I forget to lock the lid. They are cute little fuckers, though, I'll give them that.

Iirc, tasks requiring elevated permissions wasn't the main complaint, maybe just one of the most vocal ones.

Even with good hardware, it was not optimized for performance in general. This was amplified by the fact they also marketed Vista as having a wide range of older hardware support, which resulted in many users upgrading from XP only to have their performance absolutely tank. I think there was even a lawsuit because of how they marketed some devices as, "Vista ready."

Regardless, Vista was still better than Windows 8.

Sadly, I believe you're correct on that... sigh...

$500,000 is nothing to billionaires, or even people who make hundreds of millions a year. It's a lot to average folks like us, but to them it's the equivalent of going to the casino with money they can afford to blow.

But I do think you're right about passing it on to the greater fool. They bet it'll be the next hot product, regardless if they know it sucks or not. Then some bigger bag of money will come in and buy it up, thinking they'll be able to somehow milk a sustainable profit out of it. You'd think by now that VCs would be smarter about the boom and bust of tech startups, but alas...

Iirc, didn't the article say that was one of many hypothetical scenarios they try to plan accordingly for? Like you said, it's been awhile since it came out, so I could easily be wrong. I imagine it won't be a problem any time soon, though. There are always desperate people, and simply changing policy to allow rehiring people that had previously been fired/quit would open eligible candidate pools back up.

Or, y'know, they could just make working there not be miserable.

It wasn't that heavily edited. Like I said in another comment, a quick Google image search shows tons of official photos that were shot with a similar style. It just looked like it had a long shutter exposure making the lights look a lot more vivid/bright than natural and the bottom had been altered in a way that seemed to try and avoid auto copyright detection. Anyway, people are welcome to believe what they want.

My man, it is. It's only slightly altered. Like I said, there's dozens of images online that look the same. I imagine the glitch at the bottom is an attempt to avoid auto copyright detection bots.

Altered photo, sure. But this is a famously known city and suggesting it's just an AI image is ridiculous. You can literally take 1 minute to search this city name and see countless night time images similar to this one.

I think the one buddy of his getting a $699,000 salary as the new school president speaks for itself. The rest is just theatrics while his allies grift public money.

Khajiit has wares if you have coin.

I get that everyone likes to witch hunt AI art as if it's the bane of humanity, but this is such an idiotic comment. You can literally Google the city.

I've been using a Steam Deck for almost a year damn near daily with maybe 1 OS crash that was largely due to a very unstable game. How is ArchLinux unstable, exactly?
