Been saying exactly that for years but it hasn't happened yet.... It will when the last people (like my age) want to use Windows at home, but by then Macs will have gone as well because the pc as we know it will be finished. I can see pcs as such being gone in say 10 years and it will all be mobile devices as such, and I include laptops in that. Wifey has just lost the last installed program needed for her work from home. All web/connected apps to work from now, and when they go down the whole company stops work(ing). Lost 3 whole days this year so far as the whole company couldn't function for various reasons

they do OK but services side including AI make way more....

they already have an their AI division earns way more than the Windows division. Matters little to them about Windows numbers dropping because in reality PCs as we know it are declining far more rapidly that anyone wants to say

transitioning away from raid but I do love zfs for flexibility. A lot of the data I have is important for someone or somebody, so zfs and a decent backup solution is in use just to make sure. I went bananas and picked up a used Supermicro 4-node server that takes dual E5 Zeons (V1 or V2) with 2xE5-2620s and 49 gig ram in each node for £80 (I'm in the UK). Plenty of power and next is to upgrade the cpus to slightly better cpus to reduce power as it currently uses 2 nodes and I am pulling around 300 watts most of the time. Backup solution is an old Ryzen 3200G with 32 gig ram that runs truenas and has 5x3tb spinny drives in it

It was minding it's own business and adding them... lol 😀

no issues with temps here in the UK, but the fans don't sound happy....

Cloudflare aren't perfect, but I still use them because for a free account the benefits outweigh the negatives like this.... However to say the worlds leading publishers and AI are on board is simply not true...

Seen plenty of people who think this is a bad thing, do they just want everything to be crawled. I mean I don't think this is the saviour but it has got to be better than wholesale theft

Try a few distros they all pretty much have strengths and weaknesses. Run Linux boxes here for servers and other tasks and a mix of uses

I must be in the minority but generally I like Win 11. Most of my clients still on Windows as well so I have to keep up to date...

Because plenty of people care very little about data or security but see all those people on there... so explaining how it is bad matters little as they've used facebook for over a decade

Not seen anything quite like that to be honest, but I do have a service running a pretty decent chat room system that doesn't keep any data after the room is nuked. Not quite the same I know... but it works well for me!
