Technology

I'm just curious how much more shitty they can make it. I laugh every time they announce some new "feature". Makes me appreciate Linux Mint more and more each time.

I convinced my wife to dual booting Linux Mint. She uses it every now and then, but she primarily still uses Windows 10. I hope she will abandon it once she sees this. She absolutely detests ads of any kind.

Why in the world did Sun make such business decisions that it killed itself?

FFS, instead of open sourcing this and that, and banking on high-end servers, they could have at least tried at desktops.

If anybody remembers what Sun's perception was in 2003, they could have been selling desktop machines for Apple prices and nobody would bat an eye.

If Sun were still alive, this wouldn't happen. I think.

EDIT:

LOL, I've just stumbled upon another Bill Joy's interview where he too says that Sun should have gone the consumer way as a priority.

Just imagine having a Solaris PC in year 2024, that is, now. ZFS with snapshots, Zones, and as easy to maintain as OpenBSD while insanely functional. Probably SPARC hardware without Intel bullshit.

And I like to think that Java applets would still be a thing, instead of HTML5 and stuff, with security problems solved and a more elegant Web.

And it's worked on my brother in law who's announced he's buying new PCs for the whole family specifically to upgrade to 11. jFC.

Many people speak about security risks because there will be no updates, but the solution is simple, you install Linux on a new partition and do all your networking from there, I use Windows for some programs and games and that's it

I don't need a new motherboard. TPM got accidentally turned off and I keep forgetting to turn it back on. Darn.

I recently installed Linux because windows pissed me off and I laughed out loud at this..

Has anybody found a way to turn Microsoft's ads off yet? I'm tired of dismissing their prompts to switch to Edge and Office 365 every few months.
