There are black holes that travel at the speed of light. If one were to pass through our astronomical neighborhood we would never see it coming and it would end our existence so instantaneously that it would be like our species and planet never existed.

And you have your head stuck so far up your ass you think climate change is the only threat to the habitability of the Earth when one solar flare gone wrong or object striking the Earth or black hole travelling at the speed of light passing sufficiently close could erase humanity from existence and we would never see it coming. None of these things are fiction and all of them are completely within the realm of possibility. Modern astronomy has documented examples of all of these things happening. In fact the leading theory right now is that the Earth and moon existing as they do is the result of the collision of two objects typically referred to as Gaia and Theia. Theia broke off pieces of Gaia and those eventually came together to form the moon while the rest became the Earth.

As of right now the only thing preventing our species from going extinct due to any of a very large number of astronomical events is luck. But you have no guarantees that that luck will last forever and humanity needs a backup plan.

No matter what you do the Earth won't stay habitable forever. So we either learn to expand out into space as a species or face extinction eventually. Not to mention putting all our eggs in one basket is a terrible idea. Any cosmological event could wipe out the Earth at any time. The question is are you okay with our entire species going with it?

There needs to be a backup, ideally multiple.

Both.

And have 3 wifes.

What an absolute masterstroke for a software company.

The fact that it isn't open source and costs money to use. I actually like Windows over Linux even as someone who has written Linux kernel drivers for a living, or maybe because of that but the fact that I can't poke around the code and improve the system is annoying to me.

It's also why I'm working on a project to develop my own OS from scratch that has a better design and programming interface than POSIX and Linux respectively and is easy to use like Windows. It's not an easy task but certainly a worthwhile one IMO.

Has Microsoft never heard of testing and QA?

Like: It's not Reddit.

Dislike: The userbase is too small and there are way too many circlejerks in some communities and you get bashed to hell if you dare to disagree with them.

TSMC's best decision was to never compete with its suppliers or with its clients. Intel unfortunately competes with both and now that has come to back to bite it.

Coincidence?

10% of what market? It already has more than that in the server and embedded markets. In the desktop market, that will never happen. It's just not user friendly enough and probably never will be.

They just laid off a ton of them instead.

Once the fad dies down there won't be.

ChatGPT can be useful or fun every now and then but besides that no.

When Think Different turns into differently stupid.

And this is why elder vampires are so vengeful.

I prefer it.
