It’s honestly impressive how many unattractive “features” they’re apparently packing into this.

Unfortunately, these are the only bright sides to this new OS. Microsoft’s Copilot, the AI assistant the company has been aggressively injecting across the ecosystem, will now be a core part of the next Windows iteration rather than a supplementary feature.

11 is bad enough, but it seems like 12 will be infected with copilot at every level of the OS rather than just shoehorned into every single app.

These AI features won’t come cheaply, with Windows 12 set to debut a new hardware requirement just as its predecessor did with the TPM 2.0 requirement. This time around, a dedicated NPU would be required, a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks.

Oh, great. Yet another new hardware requirement, this time for unwanted AI, in a marketplace with runaway hardware prices caused by AI. On the plus side, this will make it easier for most people to not switch.

Some features of Windows 11 might also be locked away behind a subscription model that are expected to be “advanced AI services”, but the core OS will be a one-time purchase only.

Ok, so not only are you charging money for the OS, you’re also taking away existing features and making people pay a subscription?

The modular aspect of the OS is Microsoft’s CorePC architecture project that they’ve been working on for years. It will redefine the Windows experience by allowing the addition and removal of components. This will help customise the OS for each build, whether it’s a lighter-weight system, a gaming-prioritized build, etc.

Can we remove copilot, the subscription model, advertisements, and spyware?

which implies they have a right to force their religion on their children.

Alito has pretty consistently implied that he believes religious freedom gives christians the right to impose their religion on others. Or that other people don’t things that christians disagree with is somehow infringing on their religious freedom.

And Thomas is just a piece of shit who has explicitly said he just wants to make liberals miserable. I don’t even think all the bribes actually influence his decisions, he would’ve been this terrible for free.

Jesus was super anti gay. You can tell by the way he hung out with exclusively men, rubbing their feet and kissing them on the lips like all heterosexual men do.

Treat your body like a garbage dump the night beforehand, too. Cheap Mexican, beer , etc. Nothing illegal about ripping some nuclear grade rancid farts in proximity to other people.

Some lessons I learned from Trump’s first term that so many people apparently did not:

• He’s not gonna learn his lesson
• Republicans are not going to swoop in and save us from what other Republicans are doing
• His supporters are fine with what he’s doing, and if they aren’t they’ll be fine with it after conservative media tells them to be fine with it
• He will not face consequences for what he’s doing

I would love to be proven wrong, but keeping these things in mind helps me to avoid unnecessary disappointment.

So do they just know absolutely nothing about RMS?

Ignoring how coo coo bananas it is that she even sang to ghosts in the first place, it seems weirdly self important to think your singing is capable of magically curing people’s trauma. Reminds me of all the celebs recording themselves somberly singing “imagine” in their mansions to cheer all of us peasants up in the early days of covid.

New meme format just dropped

-OP while posting a meme format that’s over a decade old

Me right after NNN ends: oh no, step-security guard! You caught me shoplifting! I need to be punished!

I get so pissed off when I try to play sudoku on the bus and it forces me to watch 30 seconds of ads between each game. And then during the game I have to ignore the flashing banner ad at the bottom of the screen.

“Hello, son. I am a massive bigot. Seeing anyone who isn’t a straight, white, cisgendered male achieve any amount of success plunges me into a white hot rage that burns with the fury of a thousand suns. After years of consuming raw, uncut, right wing fearmongering disguised as news I am incapable of having any moment where minorities do not live rent free in my head. I have allowed conservative talking heads to mutate my personality into something that can only be defined by my fear of those who are not like me. Even if minorities have absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand, my hatred of them is the only thing that I can imagine. I am deeply unhappy.”

Thank you for being a valued Beef Stroganoff Facts subscriber!

Did you know that after the fall of Tsarist Russia, the recipe was popularly served in the hotels and restaurants of China before the start of World War II? Russian and Chinese immigrants, as well as US servicemen stationed in pre-Communist China, brought several variants of the dish to the United States, which may account for its popularity during the 1950s. It came to Hong Kong in the late fifties, with Russian restaurants and hotels serving the dish with rice but not sour cream.

Did you know that beef stroganoff is named after one of the members of the influential Stroganov family? A legend attributes its invention to French chefs working for the family, but several researchers point out that the recipe is a refined version of older Russian dishes.

Withholding meals as punishment was one example I saw in a different article.
