Number 3 doesn’t add up if we look at AWS. Some estimates I can find are AWS is at that number alone. Especially given that they supply resources to 3 of the other companies in the list. I would love to see other reports on those numbers.

I think OpenAI and LLM's in general are a victim of their user friendliness. Honestly, when was the last time that we got a new technology that was as user friendly as talking to an LLM for the average user? For most users, its magical

I am not saying who would benefit, the lawsuit seems to be focused on loss of sales. I am legitimately curious about the actual number of sales that went to those without something diagnosed by your doctor. I don't know anyone that act

Unless I am misunderstanding the article (or it is just not giving enough information), it isn't that Apple removed direct access to the hardware in watchos 5 but that they changed the algorithm. It seems the previous algorithm gave mo

I feel like there are some really important details about this missing. First off, are there really a loss of sales of heart monitors because of this? I would think that the only people who had real time heart monitors are those that were g

I have been pretty adamant about the privacy issues and stealing of content issues with AI... but this particular case seems, honestly I am on the side of perplexity here. Mostly... Once we get to the point of this AI running locally, or yo

Right which is why I acknowledge there is nuance, but I just strongly disagree with it being "barely less bad" when I would consider it "significantly less bad" or borderline not bad at all depending on how far things go

I have to disagree with anyone that thinks it is "barely less bad". I mean we make countless bad decisions as humans, many of them rash last minute decisions in a time of desperation. Given the ease of just making an account and t

It is worth putting out a very big caveat here that "piracy" in this sense is not downloading an Iso through BitTorrent when Microsoft provides the ISO for LTSC to freely download through your browser. The 'piracy' eleme

I have noticed that there seems to be a subset of gamers that want so badly for Linux gaming to be a thing that they ignore the problems. For the record it is great, they have done a very good job with proton and I am not diminishing that w

Most likely not, however I run LTSC on 4 different gaming setups. Steam Deck, Legion GO, and 2 desktops of various power for TV and desktop gaming. So I have a decent range of hardware to test these claims on.

I really really don't see prices changing more than before the store opens. Anything beyond that just opens up a lot of trouble with the price changing between when you pickup the item and when you checkout. It just feels like a lawsui

I honestly would not be too worried about that happening. LTSC is likely a small but critical part to Microsoft keeping Windows in control, being able to continue to deploy Windows in places that may have otherwise moved to Linux. Once an o

Which Forza and which LTSC version? I have not had issues with Horizon 5 or the new Forza on my steam deck under Windows 10 LTSC 2021. I believe I played both at or near launch. That is the first I have heard of a game not working on LTSC.

For me my windows setups are dedicated gaming devices, nothing more. Any general computing I do (with some random exceptions due to convenience) is on my Mac. So for me the number one priority is performance and compatibility. Which as far

As someone else said, in Windows 11 LTSC you do not need an online account to set it up.

It is interesting because a lot of people criticize Apple as basically you are paying for privacy. And that is very true, they have turned it into a marketing feature. But Microsoft is very brazen about it when it comes to Windows. The more

That is it! I remember something about the scheduler. Will need to do some more research and benchmarks on this personally and see if it is really much of an improvement or if the improvements are lost by any decrease in performance going f

Right, and I think thats why the article bothered me and I made this comment. We can criticize the timeline and the promises made to investors, that is incredibly valid. But "never" is naive. The only time I am really comfortable

I do not believe this is true. Windows 10 LTSC will continue to get security improvements at least until next year depending on the LTSC version you have installed and up to 2032. As far as it not getting a new cut version after the 2021 on

I think 10LTSC is perfectly viable right now, I still run 10LTSC on my Steam Deck. Right now on my desktop I have 10 LTSC, 11 LTSC, and 11 Pro installed and doing a bunch of benchmarks but still early on data (trying to be as thorough as po

I have yet to have any issues with it and I switched full time to LTSC on multiple devices for about 2 years now, the only minor trade off is if something you rely on is not installed automatically like the Microsoft store. So when you firs

I should have mentioned that, yeah Licensing is the key problem here but there is a github script that fixes this if you don't have any ethical issues with that. But personally if I already have a legal copy of Win11 I have no moral pr

A Mac Upgrade program doesn't have to be the same upgrade cycle, same if they went the route of doing an iPad upgrade program. It would also help minimize the need to try to future proof your choice. I know when I go to buy a Mac I oft

I would encourage anyone who is comfortable with reinstalling Windows (or knows someone, I am about to do this to my partners PC) to go with the LTSC version of Windows. 11 LTSC is even out now if you want the most compatible version for ga

I highly doubt it, Apple has not charged for Mac for 10 years. They have the profits from hardware and the upgrade cycle as new versions drop old hardware. I imagine if anything we will see a program like the iPhone upgrade program come to

As someone who has zero stakes in this (well beyond the planet) and limited knowledge in the biological sides of this. This feels incredibly dismissive? Sure I will concede that most likely the 9 year timeline mentioned in that article is i
