Not buying on announcement.

But if AI "module" can be not installed (at all, preferably) and it run games as good as W10 than maybe.

But of course that MS will not sell "modular" os :>>>

Container ships passenger ? You mean as some form of bystander and not in the actual container ? ;)

> They found the isolation allowed them to focus on their tasks better

Isolation in that context is just form of work. But to focus / be productive on something you need to have a lot of expertise and also knowledge of concrete "domain", eg. knowledge of code base. So you need to learn a lot before you can be productive.

> since the internet was limited when away from port

So maybe management is constant and unneeded distraction for proficient workers those days ? Meetings was probably invented to destroy productivity...

Or just average Joe Worker is helpless versus Internet ? And that is the problem called "reality"... Moust peoples are not 1000x programmer that can be left alone for some time and then BOOM some magnificient piece materializes...

Workers just can't be proficient in extended isolation periods. Even management is needed for moust of us... "Work from home" actually is "work less from home". And all that assumes good worker intentions what is naive especially after longer periods of time.

Imagine joining IRC channel and all messages are as meanningfull as reading base64 strings aloud aka all are somehow encrypted messages.

Now you can cryptographically check to who you are talking.

No other party can read your plain text.

You can pick any cryptographic property you like future proofing or deniability, etc.

Becouse IRC is just very nice transport.

And clients can be very easily scrypted to encrypt and display just human readable text.

You can even relay messages to wherever you want, HR lady, video player, anywhere.

Try that with Matrix or Discord ;)

That is indeed how Matrix works already. And Discord is also doable with https://gitlab.com/An0/SimpleDiscordCrypt

O, didn't know that. I think I had in mind triviality of adding client-side encryption to IRC messages.

However server side... :) Looked probably twice to hosting Matrix server and Java part was fat no no. And Discord one-click "servers" ? :)

Edit:

Ok, can't find any Java in Matrix servers context... Must be I messed it with Signal server.

You see, advice like that are "guidelines" - good advices that not to be taken without checking they apply. Really the same as invoking "high horse for too long" case whenever moral advice is encountered...

Life is not only black or only white but staing in "viper nest" destroy you just by learning "doing" methodology by unintentional osmosis.

And "bad" people often do, sometimes consciously, terrible or naive business/tech decisions.

But someone will say good people sometimes also do terrible or naive decisions. Sure, but continuation of such decision (even acquisition/selloff) is most likely to not be a disgust.

Yay, on-premise llms are what is recomended for serious use, at least US gov thinks that :) But rest of us need to pay subscriptions for 3r party businesses passing back and forth our... everything ?

In old days ppl was saying: "I have no secrets" and now we evolved into "I know how to not upload important docs" ;)

Mr. Carney could be a bit more specific... Which one "order" ?

- post WW2 countries self-governance is old now ?

- or pre WW1 imperiums is that "older" ?

- or maybe ancient cities-countries are not coming back ?

But returning to common sense always is good proposition :)

> Google/ms/aws...

Meh.

EU need to start with own PC hardware factories first. And PC compatible designs. What is unlikely - on first sight of troubles they will buy everything from US. As all good 3rd Word countries do.

5-10+ min HN too. But that comes with links attached... ;)

LOL

All that years (decades?) Python had build-in code executed on install ??? That's functionally adequate to MS autoexec.bat viruses spreading mechanism!

Just LOL...
