>> ..and your job is to allocate the resources you have been given. I can repeat things too! This means your success is not yours, that your job is to implement someone else's plan, so you're not really a leader.

Some of that is extremely bad advice and explains why MS is in the pickle it’s in. “Don’t come whining that you don’t have the resources you need. We’ve done our homework. We’ve evaluated the portfolio, considered the opportunities and all

That's the intent but most people know it's not true. It's right up there with "woke" and "progressive" as generic, shapeless, boogeyman words. No real meaning besides "something bad".

I know, I 'm just saying the RP would dominate the Z80 in literally every way. You could design a Z80 replacement with the RP as the CPU and it'd blow away everything.

The Z80 was a very powerful CPU for the day. Its still used here and there.

It would destroy the Z80. It's a 32bit, dual core CPU running at 133MHz. Even single cored it'll thrash a Z80. Heck, I bet you could create a drop-in replacement board for the Z80 using an RP2040.

Not now, no, he shuffled it around. He was quite close beforehand, however.

Yes but thank-yous are always good. Making sure the project sticks around is just smart.

Yep. I used SoftICE to do a few of these dongle-workarounds. Amazing and terrible software. :D

Exactly. The battery tech the EV1 had was never going to be a big seller in the US.

Yep, it's all just a shell game. He used xAI to move the Twitter debt so it couldn't be taken away for failure to pay debts. He's already been using SpaceX to buy Cybertrucks to prop ups sales and Tesla. Using SpaceX to gener

Doesn't matter if it was or wasn't, it was a failure that GM never followed up with. Why it was a failure is also irrelevant, because whether you feel it was a technical failure or killed by GM, GM never did anything with the proj

I saw them show up without explanation, but I don't think that's the reason they were unused. If you look at it, it says what it is and to just hold your hand over it to use it, so it's very easy to learn to use and enroll. I

You are 100% entitled to feel that way, but if they have a process that automatically deletes all of your data for you and you don't want to use it, don't complain.

Ditto, I get them all the time and just ignore them. I actually have a gmail rule that if it sees that phrase it marks it read and deletes it. Them not knowing if I read an email is not a problem I need to solve.

No, it was never a good product. It's always been the worst of the file sync apps. How they're so inept when dropbox has been around for almost 20 years is a real mystery. This is a solved problem

I'm afraid he might be a true believer. The more money and/or power one gets, the fewer people push back against fanciful ideas or simply being wrong, and one can believe one is right about everything.
