Hate is a strong word.

I have a dislike for them. Especially in recent years. There was a time I thought they were the cool hip company with lots of cool innovations. When Google docs launched it was so revolutionary that two people could work with the same document at the same time.

Now I see them more for what they are: an advertisement provider. They’re only after our data. Once I realized that my dislike for them grew.

But my dislike for them hasn’t been enough to stop using their products. I’ve tried DDG a few times, but I’ve always been dissatisfied with their results.

It’s Poe’s law

I post my ignorant opinions somewhere. There’s always someone who will correct me with correct information.

Microsoft has nothing to do with this. This is entirely on Crowdstrike.

AFAIK, the documentation isn’t the main problem. I’m pretty sure PS3 is quite well understood.

The problem is how to translate the code to a typical X86 architecture. PS3’s uses a very different architecture with a big focus on their own special way on doing parallelism. It’s not an easy translation, and it must be done at great speed.

The work on RPCS3 incredible, but it took them more than a decade of optimizations to get where they are now. Wii U emulation got figured out relatively quickly in comparison, even if it uses similar specs to PS3.

It is hard. PS3 has incredibly specialized hardware. Even game developers had trouble making games for it at the time because it’s so arcane.

It’s incredible how an issue of this magnitude didn’t get discovered before they shipped it. It’s not exactly an issue that happens in some niche cases. It’s happening on all Windows computers!

This can only happen if they didn’t test their product at all before releasing to production. Or worse: maybe they did test, got the error, and they just “eh, it’s probably just something wrong with test systems”, and then shipped anyway.

This is just stupid.

That doesn’t solve anything. Linux is also subject to cyberattacks.

I think they’re mostly doing it to get the attention of investors. New products are exciting. It shows the company is growing.

Look at our new self driving car we will definitely release within the next year! Or how about these stupid looking glasses?

But now investors have become more concerned about profitability, so most tech companies are focusing on cutting the costs.

What’s your solution to cyberattacks?

Don’t worry. There’s a high chance at least one critical software has a shortened link somewhere in their infrastructure.

Yes. Massive link rot incoming

Not really. This isn’t a Windows problem. This is a faulty software problem. People can write faulty software on Linux too.

That’s why it’s called artificial, because it’s not real. Artificial intelligence is anything that gives the impression of having real intelligence.

Some LinkedIn lunatic has probably used this image for their daily motivational post.

PSX was a common abbreviation for the original PlayStation at the time. It has just stuck with me.

I haven’t played it myself, but Boku no Natsuyasumi is a game that recently entered my radar, which fits your description quite well. It’s a game I want to play sometime, but I have had other priorities. It’s for PSX.

It’s about a boy in a summer vacation with his family.

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any official English versions of the game, but hopefully you might find a solution if you think the game looks interesting enough to play it.

Yes, I’ve seen this resume before.

I think it’s ironic. The guy is quite influential in his field, so he doesn’t really need a resume.

In 2023, the two tech companies

The article is also about per year

Is all of this due to AI? I’m confident most of the energy is spent on other stuff, like data centers. Both Google and Microsoft are cloud providers.
