I'm presenting the argument that information does want to be free but web as a whole is quite less free than its proponents would like us to believe. And I'm definitely saying web is bad over native for the consumer, maybe not for

MBR/GPT and BIOS/UEFI aren't anywhere in-depth as clock multiplier, bus master/slave or IRQ/DMA/IO. MBR/GPT and BIOS/UEFI along with SecureBoot are neatly explained in the UEFI and motherboard manuals

Internal communication on requirements hasn't been very clear either. I can see them requiring TPM2.0 but Kabylake and Ryzen 1000 cut-off seems unnecessary from my POV. IHV push back is the only reason I'd wager but then most of t

Exactly my thoughts. He builds a "custom" computer, mix matches parts but is unaware of the difference between CSM/UEFI or MBR/GPT? UEFI and GPT have been on the scene since Vista (2007).

Guy built custom computer but ran Windows 10 on a MBR disk with legacy boot (BIOS/CSM) and TPM disabled. Ran 11 compatibility check and was surprised that Windows 11 won't work with that. Also advocating that MS sells a version th

If by free you mean mandatory accounts, activity trackers, 50% screen ads, background crypto miners, 8gb ram for reading the news and email, abysmal performance for what is essentially displaying text, media and information, literally WASM

Basically Google woke up and decided it wanted to be Microsoft without actually dealing with hardware vendors so let’s just put everything on web and hey, let’s track and show you ads while we do it at .98 efficiency

Look outside of US and you'll know why.

Not really, or at-least as far as I'm aware. With Vista, they wanted to deprecate GDI and introduce WDDM with a desktop compositor so display and memory requirements were quite intensive for the day. No such major change with 11 AFAIK.

I did a quick bing (hah, jk I used google) but didn't find anything other than having to install some tpm2 packages to use the module. Also, if tpm2.0 is as redundant as people are making it out to be, couldn't they just disable i

Not sure how not supporting old devices is extinguish for Linux but okay. I work at MS so I have some background, but even I was vocally opposed to this. The real pushback for hardware floor came from IHVs and PMs. IHVs don't want to s

Well the reply was to a comment that didn't seem to have read the link so I felt it was apt but alright.

> magic carrots could be used as hackerrank/linkedin/hiring Please god no. We have enough terrible hiring practices as it is, we don't need to make every other tech company a sweatshop like Amazon is.

Because the mcdonalds was closed by the owners then "taken over" by workers before the govt. decided it's alright and they'll pay for it. I wouldn't mind the end but how they got to the end is not ideal as is being

That's not the same as "anyone but huawei" as the parent comment noted. Huawei is not being singled out here because huawei or china but because of a specific behavior that's being called out here.

Store managers are employees, the location is more than likely owned by a french person or business. Well from news reports, we can't really tell who made the decision to close down. "McDonald" can be either the franchise own

Hi Leizhen, and guys in the mail list, Recently I find one patch removing a debug OOM error message from btrfs selftest. It's nothing special, some small cleanup work from some kernel newbie. But the mail address makes me cautious, &qu

It's the govt's failure if the poor are not fed - not McDonalds or the store owner. Also, McDonalds is a largely franchise business so this store getting taken over probably hurt a french business or investor.
472.
by zeusk 5y ago
Because McDonalds is a franchise business and most locations are owned by a local owner. McDonalds provides the branding and frozen food/formulaes for some profit sharing. But hey, feel free to have a french revolution part deux.

Yes, the current store is a very janky UWP app written in HTML and javascript. I believe their original motive was to share the code base between the online store and the desktop client.

ikr, wonder if the responses would differ if any tech employee brings homeless people to cafeteria for that free food.

Well the initial version of Store (it didn't really improve in iterations of 10) was horrible UX and dodgy state changes. It's essentially just a webpage and a very bad one at that. The new store that I've been using in inter

Windows runs on ARM too, just that non-Apple ARM chips aren't as competitive in terms of pure performance.

Wouldn't that Duo2 then be the perfect point for Kindle and Surface to join forces? Just speculating - I know nothing about Android support at Microsoft.

Yes it works on any x86 cpu with nested virtualization and VT-d (anything post sandybridge?).
