Internal builds barely work with millions of dollars and man power invested. I can’t imagine anyone else outside of Msft being able to build Windows lol

It was acquired for the IP, not its earning potential, which in turn Hyundai would be able to monetize.

People said the same about solar, but alas like always, innovation kicks in the costs improve. Every piece of tech starts off expensive.

This sounds like privacy fear mongering What part of Apple’s business model would make them monetize user data through ads?

You can easily buy class 3 and 4 lasers which can permanently damage your eyes. I have one for astrophotography alignment. So yes, the protestors are definitely using harmful lasers, as well as the police I’m sure.

It’s a massive money drain out of Australia. Look at how aggressively China protects its businesses by blocking Facebook etc from operating in its borders.

That’s like saying paying for a trainer to help you run 10 miles is like paying someone to tell you to run in around a track N times. There’s nuance at all levels: safety, motivation, guidance etc

It’s not. When I first walked into the workshop yoga center I was like none of these people have their heads screwed on right. I proceeded the breathework workshop, mostly out of curiosity, and it was transformative. I’m a convert.

tozeur — Fri, 22 May 2020 17:42:15 +0000

I feel like the continual development of MacOS is making it worse and worse. Similar to Windows, where every extra feature causes more and more complications.

But alas the 1000s of engineers gotta be put to work somehow.

Microsoft is incredibly anal about GDPR. I doubt they’re committing a violation here.

Living overseas I noticed that other countries are much more family oriented. Here in the states (at least on East/west coasts) people seem to prioritize work and career more.
