My bet is that consumers still care because it equates to dollars, so either the manufacturers will advertise it themselves, raitings websites will measure it as part of their assessment, or some non profit will pop up to do it.

Is that in 1985 dollars or inflation adjusted?

If you left the country would you still be stuck with it? If i had that albatross around my neck i would serioualy consider building a new life somewhere else

Its big becauae people consume. How many people gonna consume when its tonexpensive to live?

How does one even do that?

There are a large number of people who voted for her and trump on the same ticket (they were both up for election this year). Her and people like her would do far better than any middle of the road dem could. Im convinced of that.

For some reason we keep hearing the same thing for the last ten years, yet dems cant denonstrate a consistent ability to beat Trump of all people with "moderates". This "playing it safe" approach isnt working long term. Its embarrasing really.

Shes my congresswoman, and i can say her and her office are genuinely great. Very responsive, religiously communicates with the district, etc. Basically do their job year round instead of just around election time.

That being said, id rather see her run for senate first. We need to see she can win across red and blue districts. I personally think she can, but we need to show that

Its not nearly that easy. They are dealing with personalities behind all of this, investors they made promises to, etc. What you are describing is the right thing to do, its just very complicated with a ship as big as microsoft to turn on a dime like that. The bigger the org, the slower it is to react and the harder it is to course correct

I think it might actually start coming to fruition now that a lot of games have native support.

One of the only things stopping me from taking the plunge at this point is laziness to soft through all my data and make sure what i need is backed up before firmatting (i know, i need a good backup solution; open to suggestions here)

They are even worse in the business space for sure.

Windows 7 was peak windows. Its been downhill from there

Quality degredation and Disjointed experience comes to minds. Microsofts tech is such a mess right now i dont know how they come back from it honestly. Too many competing frameworks, bad schemas, broken tooling, bad documentation.

Im not even factoring in windows 11.

I used to be a windows dev guy, but with this landscape I dunno why i would do it to myself. Developing for linux systens is such a better experience. At least there are standards and ubernerds who adhere to them.

It shows

I hate that you are right about that.

The cultists at jonestown were perfectly fine to die. The magas will die for him at well without complaint.

There are up days even in a depression. You have to look at trends over months (at the least)

That only goes so far. If the company ceases to exist because it cant pay its debts, its gonna get delisted from the exchange.

There is only so much they can do to prop it up. If noone is buying them, and noone wants the stock, its going to go down short of the govt literally buying the stock and handing it over to musk.

That unfortunately would not surprise me. How sad.

Thank you for clarifying. Stillnjust as outraged though. A legal guest of the united states.

They dont fight for American citizens. Let that sink in.

Or he could just go back to an OS that works.

Thrse are real issues that block adoption of linux on the desktop. The answer isnt buy different hardware, its "how do we improve on things like this?"
