It definitely wasn’t QE.

System76 makes nice Linux laptops.

Average people download gamed and apps and their phone is loaded to the tilt with bloatware. You think they care?

Or some rent seeking company like IBM that makes atrocious legacy code.

It effectively helps me destroy peoples formatting, with some hope our company moves away from Microslop software. Just open in teams and hit save.

Microslop I recognize, but who is this “Microsoft” company?

Linux Mint is very easy to use.

Pcloud has lifetime deals with encryption.

I’ve had it for a very long time and paid once long ago. It works on Linux as well.

Found the person reddit banned.

If anything it seems more like crony capitalism, when the CPI is understated and all investments are excluded it drives down borrowing rates and bond yields, which raises stock values and provides a stream of revenue to those with access to the most credit.

People like Elon Musk who avoid paying taxes by borrowing cheap debt, which who would lend to him their own capital when his collateral is Tesla stock and silly ideas like space datacenters. Which is entirely built on speculation and pumps to new all time highs whenever QE is unloaded into the market; they would be taking the risk that Tesla doesnt go to 0 for a small fixed income payout, if it was their own money and a bailout wasnt guaranteed.

Is it like xorg, or why X?

Late stage capitalism just means late stage fiat currency doesn’t it, since all the money flooding in is debt and QE, and every dollar created and placed into the market is new cheap debt issuance?

Then we bail all the bad debt out when it fails, so the perverse incentive to issue bad debt is always there, because its not capitalist and nobody would backstop this mess if it was their own capital.

I do sysadmin and hate all Microsoft software from Windows to their cloud offerings.

Thanks very much for the help, I appreciate it.

Thanks very much for the help.

The new manager of my building did it, and it was all unactionable garbage. My direct manager showed me, and he and the other managers used AI to generate the response to it.

Bios are becoming more and more locked down, that’ll be the next thing, at the tech lobbyists behest.

Google calls it a Chromebox.

It could just be irrational exuberance, and the perverse incentive to keep it going by the people running those companies.

In the dotcom bubble I’m sure there was shortages, same as the housing bubble, which destroyed peoples ability to buy a home.

Its really the Fed whose at fault, with cheap debt and QE, they now exist to create as much misallocated capital as possible. The entire financial system is fraudulent, to quote burry in the big short.

Chiplet designs and integrated GPU do benefit a lot from ram speed at least. So its speeding up CPU and GPU as well, providing a higher CPU core count and cheaper CPU.
