It's funny, because technically they are hurting themselves in multiple ways. They are investing loads of money in AI. Then using the same technology to produce crap that no one wants. People are starting to lose trust in their OS because of all the issues.

AI is now using up all the resources, making gpus and memory skyrocket. People are not going to be able to afford PCs for gaming. Most people that want to stay on windows are gamers. While Linux is getting better, it's still a shit show when it comes to Nvidia cards.

With Apple releasing a budget computer, this opens the door for everyone else. These devices are also fast enough and last way longer on battery life. They can also be more powerful in other ways as well.

Enterprise is another big user of Windows, but we can already see Europe and other places moving away from Microsoft products due to privacy concerns.

You can easily manage apple devices at an enterprise level. You can also do the same with Linux, albeit it's a little harder. The only other thing people are missing in enterprise are the collab tools. But tbh, Google stack is actually good enough for that. Then people use slack for chat, which is way better than teams, even if it's now owned by Salesforce. Then zoom for video calls. Even on this stack, it's typically around the same price, if not cheaper than Microsoft anyway.

Because of all these things, Microsoft is literally choking themselves out.

Personally, I already use a MacBook for work. It's a good balance between Linux and Windows and makes my life easier. I use Windows right now because of gaming and using an Nvidia card. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be using Windows right now. As soon as AMD releases their next gen gpus, I'm gone.

Microsoft dug their own grave and are slowly lowering themselves into it.

There are a few reasons for this.

1. Conversion rates are higher and the majority tend to prefer these over passwords
2. When you have to reset a password, you typically have to send an email anyway.
3. It's technically safer because they are short lived tokens and if someone's password gets compromised, their token cannot.

It's not a perfect system by any means, but it's better than the shit implementation of passkeys and it's generally better than passwords for most users.

I prefer passwords over links and codes, but I get it.

Nah bro. Just tell the agent to be a super duper distinguished software developer and write no bugs and keep the code maintainable /s

Forty is the only number when spelled out that is in alphabetical order

This is about the only right answer here. I am currently doing something very similar to this, but with some days where I eat more. But even going to this extreme, you probably won't be losing 50lbs in 2 months.

I am also exercising. Zone 2 walking and weight lifting to maintain and build muscle.

You could try a 3 day fast as well. A full 72 hours. Only water, coffee, or tea. No cream. No sugar. No nothing. See how well you can get through that.

Even with my modified diet, it can be very difficult at times. I am also being monitored by a doctor where I check in every 2 weeks or reach out if I have issues with anything. So, I am being heavily monitored right and would not recommend this method without a doctor present.

That's pretty funny. "Supabase-analytics will shit itself again sometime around noon."

My sides

There's something I saw one time that has always stuck with me. A conservative person once said that they believe vaccines cause autism, but that they would rather have an autistic kid than a dead kid. But maybe we can push more of this? If your kid becomes autistic, it's God's plan?

The amount of insanity we currently live in is just too damn high!

I was. You can't conflate what politicians do and what the government does as "this is what the country is all about". There are plenty of reasons to be proud of your country. The reason I am no longer proud is just the sheer amount of stupidity in people these days. It really feels like we are going backwards.

But here's the thing, America isn't the only country going backwards.

God I hate what my country has become. No country is perfect or will ever be, but I can no longer say I'm proud to be an American. Fucking sad.

They have had multiple leaks

There was an attempt to convert to decimal and use 100 minutes in an hour, but this failed and it was reverted back. https://somethingmarvelousblog.wordpress.com/2017/07/18/the-best-of-time-the-worst-of-time-the-failed-french-experiment-of-decimal-time/
