And likely 10-100x the quality and reliability, and without needing to sell every bit of your personal information. Has anyone stopped to ask, maybe we just don't need all of this software?
- icebraining 6y agoEheh, I don't remember the software in 1997 being all that good and reliable. And when it crashed, it crashed hard, all the way to BSOD. The selling of personal data is a good point, though. We surely could use less of that.
