They just had to copy the walled garden approach of the competitors, and badly at that. They could have not pursued forcing users to a Microsoft account. They could’ve avoided the telemetry and ads business(/bloat). Google has them beat there anyway. They had the more open alternative to Google and Apple but they’re trying terribly to be second fiddle to them. And now Linux has become a good enough alternative to what Windows should’ve been. They are still the choice for business machines, but they’ve been terrible with consumer devices.

I’m a side sleeper. I can sleep on this bench. Given the other half of the government would get rid of the bench altogether, this is a good compromise. Now if you want to get rid of the divider altogether, the fascist side of the government needs to be thoroughly and consistently beaten. That’s just the system. You can make an argument that the “ideal” left is incompetent too for always losing.

If this were posted on reddit, I feel like you would’ve got more upvotes. I always wondered what type of people were here before the reddit protests. They do say Russia sows discord on both the left and the right, but I don’t think this is their doing. There is no listening going on and people are unempathically hyperfocused on just their topic of choosing. I’m checking out some subreddits…

If I’m building a PC for gaming, I wouldn’t limit myself to $600. Would you? I’ve never not had PCs or laptops since I first had one in the 90s. I’m building again now to go Linux. 7800xt and 2 Tb SSD cost as much as a PS5 Pro in my part of the world. I only started getting into consoles because I can afford it now, and for physical games. I don’t really get why today it’s PC vs. consoles. I was into PCs but never judged consoles as inferior, just different.

Is the value you’re setting your short to still higher than comparable stocks like, say, Toyota’s? You’re still ‘selling’ at irrational prices. Algorithms still sees these as market movement and you just serve as insurance policy for Tesla.

Gamblers. Shorting the stock is still a show of support. If you don’t like Musk, stop betting for or against the stock. Don’t be greedy.

I don’t remember in my 2 decades of working my work machine causing me to lose work due to a Windows update. In the last year, it happened to me 3 times. One was due to Crowdstrike. The latest update also recently broke my remote setup. Not completely their fault but still a crappy time. The one other time was due to an update (must’ve been the forced win11 one) killing the wifi and then Windows hiding any options to fix it, a bug from Windows 10.

I guess it doesn’t apply to you…

Whatever works…

Even you ignored the first part of what I said, but I don’t blame you. That’s how conversations go.

I’ve had my fair share of issues with not getting a complete response from e-mails. And so I changed the way I look at it. It’s not like it will take weeks to get all the information you need just because you didn’t get everything in one go.

Digital communication is near instant. It’s not like snail mail where you have to cram your letter with as much information as you can, or it will be ages until the next reply.

Even when we converse, we get across just one point at a time. You have to respect other people’s time and bandwidth (Okay, one or two points).

No, imaginary friends are cringe, so that too.

Not Abrahamic, still imaginary. Still cringe.

You have an imaginary friend, and you’re trying to defend him on the internet…

This is the new whataboutism strategy. This is the new “both sides”.

Value investors aren’t the ones investing in this stock. The gamblers and growth investors all think this is a good roller coaster to get into. When you think about it, it’s actually disgusting how much is invested in this stock. The funds and people investing in this stock are just greedy. They don’t care about ethics, as long as line goes up/moves.

And you are sabotaging yourself by letting a whole different party create a set of bigger problems because you’re focused on things that don’t matter right now.
