We used to recommend people to run the newest stuff possible, but we came to a point that maybe it’s better for us to keep with older tech for a good while

Well, there are already a couple of prototype laptops out there and there’s a growing geopolitical pressure for investing in alternatives to usa tech. I’d not be surprised for a robust release appears in a few years. Besides, op seems to prioritize moving away from amd/intel over other things.

Do you need a new laptop right now? I’d advise to stay with what you have and wait for risc-v to mature a little more

forced to comply.

The language I’d expect from a villain in some fiction aimed at teenagers, not from a real person. This is so bizarre, and the amount of people ok with ceos saying those things is disturbing

As datacenters engulf more and more resources, corporations are now pushing a lot of them to third world countries under the excuse of giving us digital sovereignty, and we’re falling for it

That meme never gets old, and often gives me a good laugh. This was the one that gave me the best laugh… so far

The headline subtly implies we were already stupid lol

We tend to overestimate people’s skill in tech. The average user uses what came installed, doesn’t like installing and experimenting apps, uses a browser while logged in to google, taps yes on everything, will install apps when sites ask for it, without even noticing, and will register in every site or app that asks for it, and even give their real email, name, etc

was this research leaked from xcom?

Works, but if we think about it, it’s just a win for big tech, because we’re using their oppressive system and even buying an additional phone

Yes. They have been turning more and more restrictive

Next, they will stop allowing to register with random email without confirmation

Edit: jut found out they already did it lol. Then next step will be to require phone number for all new accounts

Suddenly?

A 5yo phone can absolutely be high end, but definitely not mine lol. It got a cheap soc, low resolution and 2gb of ram

It really looks ai-generated. It even contains mistakes like saying that my 5yo phone model with low resolution is a high end device. All the text is pretty “generic” and sloppy

There are many cases where we don’t pay and we’re not products. The phrase is false in any way.

And that’s why I dislike that popular saying. People don’t stop being products by paying for services. You’re always a product when using big tech. Only small businesses, nonprofit organizations and community services allow us not to be products, whether we pay or not for it.

One of the few things that give us hope these days is that those companies are pretty dumb and delusional, so they can fall by themselves

Just pointing out that even if OP ends up using torrent or soulseek, it doesn’t exclude the possibility of uploading the older stuff to internet archive
