Sounds like algorithmic surveillance (modern social media) applied to real life, which I think I’ve seen as a movie or black mirror episode

Ah, the good old days of PS1 and 2.
On PC, it was insert the disc, install (takes a while), keep disc in, run game, crash, troubleshoot, give up.

Money (power) corrupts and people with lots of money rarely want to part with it. Also, money protects money, so the rich often deal in the shadows to protect themselves from us.

They’re not taking high enough doses, unfortunately for us and for medical teams who have to spend resources getting them better

If you ever worked on any big corporation, it becomes crystal clear why things suck. Megacorps value money first, second, third, fourth and fifth. Sixth comes avoiding being caught by their crimes.
So, Microsoft doesn’t have a vision for Windows as an operating system, it sees Windows as a way to maintain a stranglehold in office computers the world over. It doesn’t matter that most people on lemmy will say “switch to linux”, they’re not companies, they’re not bosses - these are the vast majority of Windows users and South America + Asia + Africa make up a fuckhuge market. Sure, Europe and USA have more money, but the rest have sheer numbers.
Another thing that matters a lot is that many decisions come from the top and are enforced. If Satya Nadella or the director of whatever bullshit says something, those below have to comply. If the order from above is “cram bullshit ads in Windows Explorer, this has the highest priority”, that has to happen.
Regarding resources, having them and allocating them in a decent manner are not the same thing. The same could be argued about USA having trillions of tax dollars and having so many people living in poverty without healthcare or even basic education. Lots of that money go to keeping their armed forces. Microsoft is not too different, they have to pay people who keep their datacenters up, pay for the energy of said datacenters, maintain several other apps they have - oh, and the CEOs bonuses, because he’s such a great leader who totally deserves billions every year!!! Of those 300bn, how much are they diverting for Windows in general? 50b? 20b? 1b? Of that, how much is going straight for security, bug tracking and quality assurance?

Why do you think romance books are SO HOT right now? because they are pure fantasy and lots of ladies want nothing but a fantasy romance and they are addicted to daydreaming, and they compare the real world romance to and it and angry it doesn’t ‘live up’ to the storybooks they read.
The irony is that a bunch of boys got into incel culture because a lot of the media they consumed had women as a prize or “side effect” of being the hero or a “good guy”, but got blindsided by real life not giving them any.

- Comment on Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more 4 weeks ago:
The v2 launcher will supposedly open up 5x faster on average upon cold boots, while restoring it from the system tray will be 6.5x faster on average. That’s a huge improvement, but keep in mind that Epic got these numbers from a ridiculous test bench comprised of a 32-core AMD Threadripper, an RTX A6000, and 128GB of RAM. Not exactly consumer-grade hardware, especially during these times.
So, we can expect, at best, 1.2x faster reponse. I bet it will still be a piece of shit unreal app that’s little more than yet another electron

I loved the Mass Effect 3 fan explanation of the ending, tying together why Shepard saw the kid while fleeing Earth in the beginning, then again at the Catalyst while heavily wounded. Of the 3 choices, the red (destroying all the mass relays and the reapers) was the only one where he stopped limping to stand up again.
In Deus Ex Human Revolution, it’s pretty easy to forget the opening cutscene by the time you’re doing shit in China and get told to go to a clinic to fix your implants, in order to stop glitching. Said cutscene shows a bunch of shadowy figures planning how to control everyone with implants.
