Anyways - what's for lunch?

@GossiTheDog looked last night and the middling office PCs I had a customer get in December have literally doubled in price. These pricks are going to start trying to push people to cloud desktops next because all they can afford is terminal-level local hardware.

@GossiTheDog LMAO 'This product will fail if more people don't start using it.' That's how it works! You make a shit product no one likes, people don't buy it, you stop making the product (see metaverse).
McDonalds CEO: Our new shit burger may falter if more people don't buy it

@GossiTheDog Isn't a "boom" an instance of something gaining widespread adoption rapidly?
Is there an example of a "boom" where buying patterns stayed stagnant or went down?
"Fast adoption could falter without wider adoption."
Oh.

@GossiTheDog You know how Cory Doctorow talks about "enshittification"?
I'd suggest we label Satya's and other's warnings like this as "nadellafication":
"We built this shitty tech that's right 60% of the time, and now your IT staff spends most of its days desperately fixing what's wrong 40% of the time. Why haven't you fully embraced it?"
It's worse than that. The IT staff spends most of its time looking at 100% of the crap to determine *if* there's anything wrong, before they even get around to the fixing bit.

@GossiTheDog "falter without wider adoption" means its not a boom right?
@cy @GossiTheDog In the investor-friendly language, yes.

@fencepost @GossiTheDog You've not needed a new computer since 2017. I just set one back up, i5 @ 3.8 Ghz, can record, transcode and playback HD video without breaking a sweat. We've added more cores, slowed the machine down, added pipelines and memory timings no one will notice. Games? I may have missed a leap forward where they are now realistic but I don't think so...

So its our fault.... That we don't want.... Their shitty product?
What the fuck are AI tech bros smoking and why wont they pass the joint?
And are dead market economists doing somersaults in their graves? Let the free market work its magic to destroy companies who squander investor billions on failures. And let the investors lose everything because fuck them. Anyone throwing their money in with tech bro ass hats deserves to lose it all.

@GossiTheDog The frame rate when we play Quake on our data center is *amazing.*

@GossiTheDog "falter without wider adoption" means its not a boom right?
"wider adoption" than forcing it into Office for 400+ million users?
"wider adoption" than RENAMING your core subscription product Copilot 365??
Pretty much every customer on the planet has Microsoft's shitty AI installed whether they want it or not and he's talking about Wider Adoption. Amazing.

AI is a bullshit fountain -
@GossiTheDog I am so confused by those AI bros. It is like they have absolutely no clue how the world works?
They seem to be stunned that people don't like faulty, dangerous products. They have no clue that people have no money left for those nonsense products, which are causing chaos & more work, and who are also pissed that they are stealing data, human labour, destroying the environment and establishing a broligarchy.
And they are completely and utterly baffled that we don't love them.
@art_histories I must admit to enjoying this, never having used the bloody AI things that infect my Handy and also the FB. Effectively I use them as little as possible because the signs (which I am unsuccessful in eradicating) piss me off. Yippie that they are having problems

I have a 10-year-old laptop and I consider it fast and fancy.
Back in the '90s, a 10-year-old computer was considered retro, legacy, and of no practical use (aside from niche applications that specifically need a retro computer). Today, a 10-year-old computer is still perfectly viable.
There are faster computers available now, but we seem to have run out of ideas of what to do with the extra computing power.
