How old are those machines?

I thought this was just a US thing, but it appears that idiocy is on rise just about everywhere

So what the fuck are we supposed to used them for ?

Some of you will be laid off, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

As if the old outlook app wasn’t as …. Oh Shit! This is more egregious

A dream job is still a job. As someone who has been in the work force for 11+ years in a pretty cushy gig, this has never rang more true.

Exactly! I’m at a stage in my life where I just want my stuff to work. A decade ago, I would be installing betas the moment they were available . But that version of me is gone.

Also there has been nothing particularly blood pumping about OS update for good few years now.

Let me see if I can find it. LMG pumps out tons of videos

Yup, there’s a Linustech tip video about this. HDD prices have kinda been set in stone for a good while now

We can pile on Google for all their issues, But I’m not sure AR/VR is going to the next big thing.

AR/VR is a thing, and it will be bigger as the technology improves, but I think Google, Meta, Sony, Microsoft and Apple are looking for the next multi-billion dollars blowout tech, but it’s not clear if that’s gonna be AR/VR.

I know we are still early in the 9th gen console era, but this seems to be the trend.

Take a game that the gamers loved from the 6th and 7th gen console era, and heavily rework the graphics and the games mechanics.

A good deal of time has passed since gamers last played those games. So, they are combining a healthy dose of nostalgia, modern graphics and game mechanics into a potent blend to make the gamers pay up for what is essentially an old IP, just reheated.

From the dev / publishers perspective, is a very low risk and decently high reward undertaking. A no brainer essentially.

They won the battle, but they haven’t won the war. What u/spez’s actions have fomented, much like Elon Musk with Twitter is to create an opening for other platforms that would have never really had a chance at growing and competing with them.

It’s one of the reasons facebook moved quickly with threads(yes I know we dislike the likes of facebook), but Elon gave Zuck a freaking wonderful gift.

Hopefully, Lemmy picks up some serious steam.
