I'm happy paying the modest fee for taxact. I do agree America has such an annoying tax system though. Why am I filling out forms if the irs already has this information!

Couldn't they do libreoffice as a service? Doesn't that already exist?

Well tbf they didn't need Google back in the 70s to remove Whitlam

>they've successfully demonstrated that they both have too much power and don't give a shit about their end users. This is the fundamental problem with Google, period.

On a slightly related note I really wish that Microsoft would have done with mobile what they did with edge. A Microsoft branded aosp with Microsoft services.

Interesting that Microsoft says they're ready to go to replace Google.

So when is Amazon going to create their own office suite?

I just need a gt 1030 for an old pc and the prices just seem outrageous for such a low end card. It's more expensive now than it was at release almost 4 years ago!

Honestly for little stuff like that I'd rather go straight to the source from aliexpress than bother with Amazon as the middleman

Man I would love to get a physical pico 8

I mean, I don't think that Minneapolis, Detroit or Chicago are missing in basic quality of life facilities but enough people disagree to make them a lot less expensive than NYC or sf and, imo, that's their loss not mine

Yes. Here in the Midwest it's perfectly within reach of even a modest tech salary to own a home in a nice suburb. The coasts are just so detached from reality

That's my sense too. There's gotta be some big muscle behind this.

I think there are serious concerns about Qualcomm's commitment to competitive performance instead of just being a patent troll. I think if AWS Graviton is followed by Microsoft[0] and Google[1] also having their own custom ARM chips it

I'm sure amd could make a monster arm chip but without an oem who would put it in a laptop or desktop and without killer arm apps for windows whats the point?

Why would amd be screwed?

don't they still make Z80s? I doubt you could still get a 286 or 386 new though

Does Apple still maintain open Darwin? Can you run it on an m1?

Does that change with the China eu trade deal?

Microsoft, with the almost unlimited $$ they have, decided against their own browser engine. That made quite a statement.

Exciting to see another browser engine in the wild.

My understanding is that chromium is about as open source as Android is.

> I've seen saying for years that I think Firefox will eventually do the same, or suffer the same drift into irrelevancy that Microsoft had been experiencing for so long. Man, that would be something? Firefox forking Chromium to rep

Netflix?

What's scary is that even Microsoft has essentially given up on an independent browser engine

History doesn't repeat, but it certainly rhymes
