  • Yeah, sure.

    You sound like one of those people who are the reason why we find the following warning on microwave ovens:

    WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO DRY PETS IN THIS DEVICE.

    And on plastic bags:

    WARNING: DO NOT PLACE OVER HEAD.

    We both know that this is not what it’s for. And it (model S) has never been cleared ANYWHERE ON THIS GLOBE as an autonomous vehicle.

    (Adaptive with lane assist and collision detection) Cruise control/autopilot on, foot on accelerator, no eyes on the road, no hands on the steering wheel. That’s malice. There where visible, audible and even tactile warnings wich this guy ignored.

    No current day vehicle (or something from 2019) has in it’s manual that this is use as intended. As a matter of fact all warn you to not do that.

    And I get that you hate Tesla/Musk, don’t we all. But in this case only 1 person is responsible. The asshole driving it.

    I use Windows because

    My pc does not tell a story. It’s a thing I use for work and play. I can’t be bothered, it doesn’t interest me, what niri, alacritty cosmic de is. Why should I care? Why should I invest that time? My pc works already. My framerates are high, it’s stable and all the stuff I need for work, works. Out of the box.

    Every single time I tried linux for the desktop the system failed within weeks. Dependency error after an automatic upgrade. Grub killing itself. Again. X refuses to start. So many config files littered all over the place just waiting for you to fuck something up. Gpu driver bullshittery. Printer hell. Other peripheral shit. (Flightsim gear)

    And honestly, the last time i seriously tried was more then 5 years ago. In IT terms that’s a lifetime. So surely it will be much better now.

    But after the umpteenth fail to start X, I just thought: wtf am I doing? I could also next next finish my ass through a Windows installation, insert a pihole in my network to block the most obnoxious stuff and just do my thing.

    Which is what I did.

    Now, I do use linux. A lot. Just not for my desktop.



  • Not that guy but another: No. You? Because Microsoft is a lot of things but walled gardens is something out of Cupertino. Not Redmond.

    You can call MS shitty and I would fully concur but a walled gardens it’s not.

    You don’t need ad, Exchange/outlook, m365, entraid. They’re nice for most users but you can live without and use other services in their place on any MS platform.

    Now, iOS… Have fun with that.





  • I was in the same boat. Then I decided that the 50x0 was a paper launch and the leaks told me that the 9070XT would lower or have the same performance as the 7900xtx.

    Then the 7900xtx dropped in price, clearing the channel for the new gen.

    Then I bought that.

    Ever since I’ve been wondering… Why didn’t I buy this thing earlier?

    It’s more then fast enough. The RT performance is above the 3080.

    Every 9070XT I can buy now is almost 200 euro more then what i payed for the 7900xtx.

    What I learned? Buy previous gen in it’s “dying” weeks.

    From a musk pov it’s 100% logical. Money.

    Why? Win2k was quite stable. Stable enough to use it in warships.

    Linux/Bsd is not free. When you use it in your company you want pro support. That support comes free with windows enterprise licenses. So the cost difference there is almost non existent. And, MS being M$, they would’ve sweetened the deal. A lot. Just think of the marketing worth of this deal for MS.

    And lastly: Who is cheaper? A good linux admin or a windows guy?

    So 90% of the stability at 50% of the cost. That’s not a bad deal.
