I wonder what favor the government traded for this. Or maybe what threats were made to Microsoft…

Probably none; don’t forget, the majority of Lose11 is vibecoded

“but it could make you high dood!” - some nitrous dumbass

CoD emblem ahh coin

but had to go through an AI support bot that kept closing the ticket

In general, that practice is absolutely disrespectful towards customers and should be met with complete rejection

That’s the worst heart gesture I’ve ever seen

Thanks, but I don’t own a smart TV - hopefully dumb TVs are still gonna be around when it’s time to upgrade

Does this have any impact towards the consumer?

I don’t think so, but to be fair, I’m not using Ubuntu so I can’t tell you first-hand

It snaps off your ram sticks

Sounds like a fanclub for Donald Duck 😂

Even North Korea doesn’t do that

Kudos, that’s an even better metaphor.

Yeah, because those devices have age-inappropriate content already pre-installed amirite???

Honestly though, how the fuck do they keep justifying the mental gymnastics behind this, from a judicial standpoint? If you were to never set a foot on the internet after buying the device, there’s no need for age verification; and even if you do, as long as you don’t visit any site that hosts inappropriate content, it still doesn’t warrant an age verification.

It’s up to the content platform to ensure that no child visits inappropriate content. Think about it: a store IDs a person when they try to buy alc/tobacco, NOT when they just enter the store.

I can’t believe this passes legislation just like that.

but I’m glad it exists as it means software/OS will have to support 8gb ram for years to come

Electron/JS/TS would like to have a word with you

Would’ve been great tech if they didn’t place fucking cameras into it

Fair point, I haven’t tested that yet

Avoid Wayland (especially with nvidia GPU), avoid Pipewire

Why? I have multiple devices running on Wayland (incl. 1x NVIDIA GPU), as well as Pipewire, and they run fine; what was your experience?

“You’re absolutely right! That was a children’s hospital, not a military base. Let’s try that again!”

because our AI will read all your messages and decide if you’re 18

What the fuck that’s even worse

Looks promising…

but why is it always electron?
