90% angry nerds fighting each other over what answer is “right”

It’s only a crime if YOU do it citizen.

Corporate law breaking is just a cost of business.

Now stay in line peon.

As an asshole that deserves the highest price hahahaha

Someone is running a smear campaign on Firefox, and I don’t know why.

The tech doesn’t track you, it’s very clear on that but the misinformation about it keeps popping up everywhere.

I always give “companyname@personaldomain.com”

That way datasets are harder to correlate and I know who leaked 😝

You don’t get to being the CEO of a large company without being an asshole of one type or another, and outrage drives views and clicks.

Soooo…. You get what you incentivise.

I didn’t say great, just “has more than one redeeming quality”

I’m very aware of the Facebook shit list, that’s why I’m so shocked.

As a user, and great fan of the llama models….

I did not have “Zuckerberg saves us from ai” on my bingo card.

…… nor did I have “musk threatens and then pussies out from fighting Zuckerberg”

Or even “Zuckerberg becomes less despised as an individual”

Like…… have I switched timelines and universes?

Search engines are rapidly becoming a thing of the past.

Google decided a few years ago that quality doesn’t matter (and they’re right, the monopoly they have means that their quality doesn’t matter for a good long while) but over the long term that’s sitting themselves in the foot.

This is just phase 2, installing fences around your market.

Phase 2 is often legal, so I’m waiting for some patent battles or something like that too, but the effect is the same.

Fair, charged is the wrong word.

But please explain how you see the fiduciary duty then?

A CEOs job is literally to serve the financial interests of the shareholders.

In fact a CEO can be fired or charged for not doing it.

How is that not legally compelling a company to make the most money possible, when to have their top employee by the balls like that?

And jokes about meatball Ron

It absolutely does

It absolutely is.

Slack must have this for compliance issues, or they would be locked out of many industries (like banking and insurance)

That’s just it…… they are building it out properly, their goal is just not what you think it is.

The problem is the same as with the telephone answering trees.

If they’re used to help you get where you’re going, then they’re great. But that’s not the best financially motivated decision. Solving your problem costs the companies money. Pissing you off and convincing you that your problem shouldn’t be fixed saves money on support.

So making you go round in circles is the machine doing EXACTLY what they want it to do.

Not just for 2 years, XP removed it in sp2.

And even when it supported it, many versions wouldn’t let you use it, or would let you “see” it but not use it.

For basically the life of XP.

I’m not overly worried about a few random Linux distros that did strange things, nor raspberry pi’s. I mean I don’t know why you’d use 32 bit on an 8gb pi anyways, so it shouldn’t affect anyone unless they did something REALLY strange.

For the average user, neither of those scenarios mattered, especially back when the problem was at its peak.

2 years was a long time to wait to use the extra memory that Linux could use out of the box.

I honestly don’t even remember XP having PAE, but if you NEED the validation, sure, Microsoft EVENTUALLY got it.

Except that Microsoft removed it in SP2 LOL!

And all the home use versions of XP still maxed out at 4gb.

There could see the memory but couldn’t use it, oh I’d forgotten that!

Wikipedia was a fun read.

Yeah I acknowledged the shortcomings in a different comment.

It was a duct take solution for sure.

Intel PAE if the answer, but it still came with other issues, so 64 was still the better answer.

Also the entire article comes down to simple math.

Bits is the number of digits.

So like a 4 digit number maxes out at 9999 but an 8 digit number maxes out at 99 999 999

So when you double the number of digits, the max size available is exponential. 10^4 bigger in this case. It just sounds small because you’re showing that the exponent doubles.

10^4 is WAY smaller than 10^8
