This is good right? In Europe the eurocheque was already on the decline in 1982 (!), almost not being used anymore in 1998 and finally phased out in 2002. For a country with so much tech, being the proverbial mother to so much of the tech w

On the other hand you have transient failures in the cloud (at least on Azure - this behavior is even documented) so does that count towards the 99.99999%?

It might. I'd wage a TCP/IP stack is installed: https://winworldpc.com/product/microsoft-tcp-ip-32/tcpip-32-... But the value in malware is not having a single system crash, but having a worm spread. I w

Parts of ASML machines are also made in the US. It is more of a globalised supply chain than you might think. And there are patents, etc.

So MCP to an application is like how a WebDriver interface is to a Web browser?

Yes, at the cost of the desktop experience - it seems. And at the cost of customization.

I feel like at some point Microsoft deliberately decided not to want to maintain "old stuff" anymore. You see this with many other products as well. Desktop is bad, web is good.

Well, older versions of Outlook actually used MSHTML/Trident as a render engine: the engine of Internet Explorer. They could, if they want, use WebView2 - embedding MS Edge.

I've yet to see a LLM asking any critical question, in order to understand the problem better. Without this, it can never be a good programmer because good programmers ask questions.

Okay so you're saying this is, without nuance, nothing different.

I'm sure we could annex some from Microsoft. You know, for security reasons. Also, data centers from big tech have a large environmental impact and cost a lot of energy, yet do not bring any jobs.
