In just 10 more years, it’ll only be 40 more years!

Only ten more years, and we’ll have it!

Do no harm (to quarterly earnings)

bundled a game pass subscription

Most of the money MS gets from Office365 is from business users, not home users. I have a feeling that trying to sell game pass to corporate clients isn’t going to be a huge hit…

Is there any case where cynicism is helpful?

There are insufficient funds for a meaningful answer.

Nobody is seriously looking for ‘habitable’ planets because they expect humanity will someday inhabit them — this is all about the hunt for other life out there in the universe.

To astronomers, “habitable” just means that the planet gets to correct amount of energy from its star that liquid water could potentially exist on its surface. Liquid water may not actually be a requirement for life, but since we only have a single data point to work from, it makes sense to look for the preconditions of the kind of life we’re familiar with on earth, of which liquid water is a big one. (Another is carbon chemistry, so finding lots of atmospheric carbon isn’t necessarily a bad thing when searching for other life out there.)

It has to compete with: Climate change

That’s the fun part, it doesn’t! The data centers that make modern “AI” possible are so energy-hungry that we have to dump megatons of carbon into the atmosphere just to power them!

AI can destroy civilization and cook the planet simultaneously.

Synergy, baby!

because IT sector wouldn’t have all it’s eggs in one basket that might break if one guy leaves or dies.

Whooooooooboy, that has not been my experience in tech!

I think the self-censoring was moreso out of concern for upsetting the Reddit admins than it was for companies like Nintendo.

Rad. Do Microsoft next.

I saw one the other day painted neon yellow. Believe it or not, it actually seemed like an improvement.

Hear hear!

It’s time to stop taking any CEO at their word.

Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

This community desperately needs some better moderation…

I hate to break it to you, but our meat brains don’t even have continuity of consciousness. We become unconscious all the time. The only real constant is the “hardware” our consciousness emerges from, but even that is always changing.

Really? Back in the day even Charon took his cut.

It will certainly be gratuitous…
