Sounds like bullshit, I'd rather bet that Microsoft wanted to make some Cloud OS, web friendly thing and expected it to be as successful as Visual Studio Code

Also, I don't think that integrating react app into Windows is trivial

On the other hand streaming is way, way more common nowadays.

That sounds cool and fancy in theory, but how do you find that information among the noise?

like if 50 ppl vote A, 45 people vote B and 1 person who actually knows their shit votes B?

How do you find it? By amount?

>Microsoft has also tried hard to push Edge, annoying nearly every Windows user on the planet, with no real success.

False, Edge is actually decent product and viable replacement for Chromium based browsers.

I use Firefox daily, but at work Edge is my way to go

Maintenance cost must be pretty fucking insane

This "Space Datacenter" sounds like biggest bullshit in last decade, which is pretty damn fucking high bar.

C# is way to go then

It sounds like conspiracy theory that they design TS/JS to convert from C# easier, huh.

The truth is that C# is probably the best designed mainstream language out there.

C# was known as a language with lowest amount of WTF per LoC

What will happen to the vehicle after such crash landing?

Is it possible (reasonably) to repair it? or it will never fly?

>China taking Taiwan will likely not result in the CCP getting any technology, certainly Taiwanese have "contingency plans" to vaporize all tech in the event they are invaded.

He didn't suggest anything like that, did he?

Well, to be frank - it's not even LNL, let alone PTL.

>and we haven't seen an indication that Intel has anything to leapfrog AMD chips any time soon.

PTL is such indication

They're good for exceptional situations where foundamental, core assumptions are broken for some reason.

In such scenario there's no error recovery, software is expected to shutdown and raise loud error.
