Fundamentally tying the OS to the cloud and AI makes me think this is really a pretense to move windows to a subscription model, and likely to end data privacy on windows as we know it, paving the way for ad supported OS. Two huge wins for

I can't see VR being a better home video experience for most people. For one thing, watching is often a group experience with friends, spouse, kids, etc regardless of content. But even alone I don't think most people want to feel

Funny but I have to say that satire has lost a lot of its appeal in these times. It is far too apparent how vulnerable we are to people who don't get it and who will walk away happily unaware and, in this example, MORE confident about

Thank you for this comment. I would like to add that social media and foreign manipulation thereof has been demonstrated to be spectacularly capable of affecting peoples' mental states and beliefs and by extension our stability as a co

The newer stuff (magni/modi 3) has fixed the Audio Science Review guy's complaints and he now recommends those models. I went through all this when I was shopping for reasonably (to me) priced gear. https://www.audiosci

This is odd to read because his chat moves pretty quick from what I have seen, in line with streams of similar size. Lots of memes and emote spam. But in general I agree with you, the embeds can be easily abused and distort the popularity o

I think the benefits of access to a nation-wide or world-wide market have been enormous and will become even more so in the future. Unfortunately we are realizing that the costs of this transition, if we maintain our current path, are grave
