When I moved to DDG, I had to go back to Google all the time.

With Kagi I never have to go back to Google. And on several occasions people who use Google asked me a question they couldn’t find an answer to and I found it in just a few minutes using Kagi. This saved the day at work once. We had 30 people on a call trying to solve some issue. They had been working for hours with no results. I joined, asked what was going on, did a couple searches in Kagi, and found an answer that was implemented and fixed the issue. 30 people on Google for hours couldn’t find anything useful.

Kagi factors them in, but then goes beyond that to produce much better results.

If someone offers you a meal of food for $5, or a punch in the face for free… do you think the punch in the face is a better deal too?

What’s needed there is diversity of thought. That’s not something a person can see or a box they can check on an application.

Why is anyone using gender as a criteria for hiring a tech employee? Gender has no relevance to the job.

When a woman shows up to a men’s event she is brave and courageous. When a man shows up to a women’s event, he is intruding.

Hmm…

It sounds like you’re choosing for them by not applying.

They do all this stuff for money. If it’s $2 for a phone, follow where the $2 goes.

If it’s just about who posts it, they’ll just hack an account and post the shit to some random account without a lot of followers. That’s how the Elon Musk crypto scams on YouTube do it.

The laptops are just Clevos, right?

I’ll only consider buying a digital movie if they remove all the DRM, like Apple did with the music in the iTunes Store, and I think Amazon sells DRM free as well.

I don’t understand how we’re going though all of this again with video. They have the model, but refuse to use it.

So OP’s article is clickbait nonsense. Got it.

Maybe I should write an article titled, “Windows Has a ‘Registry’ of All the Details of Your System and They Won’t Let You Delete It,” then watch people go crazy complaining about the decades old Windows Registry.

(I guess you can delete the registry… but not if you want a functional system)

You didn’t really answer the question on if it’s on by default or not. If it’s off by default, opt-in, and it’s clear what it’s doing… then it shouldn’t be stealing any data with inactive code just sitting there. And assuming they are blocking any 3rd party backup software, aggressively pushing their backup in the OS, or doing anything like they, I don’t see the anticompetitive argument.

At least. The paid users will need to compensate for the free users. Not everyone will pay, so they need to ask if the user base will drop by 80%, what do we need to charge the 20% to maintain their revenue.

That’s fair. I guess I figured after over a decade since Windows RT first released, and with the popularity of ARM starting to ramp up, Windows would be in a better position, with hardware and chip makers working with them to ensure support. I suppose most of the ARM devices have been hobbyist devices using Linux.

With the success of Apple Silicon, it seems like a lot of companies are looking into making their own chips. If Microsoft isn’t careful they might miss this boat, the same way they missed mobile.

Does it automatically back things up, even if you don’t have a Microsoft account or turn it on? That wasn’t clear from the article. If it’s just a feature that a user can choose to use or not, how is it any different than anything else in Windows, or any other OS, that may or may not be used by the user?

This is the page for Windows on ARM. It’s locked behind the Windows Insider program.

People aren’t building ARM system like they are x86 (yet), but I’ve seen people who want to put Windows on something akin to the Raspberry Pi, and they have to go this Insider route.

macOS is only licensed to run on Apple hardware, so you can’t just install it on generic hardware without a lot of hoops and extra code to support all the hardware. Windows is positioned much differently than macOS. Windows on ARM actually seems more like macOS, where it just comes with the hardware. That being said, the official release of macOS can be installed on ARM (Apple Silicon) or Intel. It’s not a lesser version of the OS.

I’m actually curious to know if my nephews even know radio is a thing. Everyone complains out the costs of streaming services, meanwhile we still have music and TV shows that are streamed wirelessly all over the place for free. It doesn’t even require a person signs up.

Sure, there are ads, but the free streaming services have those too.

I went back to Firefox about a year ago and it’s been fine. There are some things I don’t like, but I don’t want to use Chrome or anything based on Chromium. That leaves me with Safari and Firefox. I used Safari for a long time, but wanted something that could sync between macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Ive was the software design lead starting with iOS 7. He did away with all the skeuomorphic design and made everything flat. It was probably the worst looking version of iOS. I’m not sure what the last version he worked on was.

iOS went from this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7d/IOS_6_Home_Screen.png

To this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a4/IOS_7.1_homescreen.png

I know people gave some of the more over the top skeuomorphism a lot of shit, but it was very easy to tell things apart and recognize basic UI elements like buttons. iOS 7 would just throw in a less than sign… < …. There’s your back button. It was just bad design they put form ahead of function.

I like his hardware, but am less of a fan of where he took software when given the chance.

On the hardware side, I’m also a bit tired. While he seems to come up with the inevitable designs that eliminate all the fluff, very much in line with Dieter Rams, it has made much of design feel rather boring, as the whole industry is trying to replicate it now. Bring back the G3 iBook and more out-there designs like that. I’m a little burned out on the glass and aluminum everything.
