They're looking for subsidies it seems, they're getting some pretty generous benefits from the Canadian government so might as well take advantage of it.

This article feels like it was written by an AI trying to get to a word count.

Intel's current CEO is Pat Gelsinger, he's an engineer who was the chief architect of the i486.

It's not just who's at the top, the issue is that the company has gotten too big. There's a reason why AMD with such a lower staff count has managed to leapfrog Intel.

Yeah it's annoying as hell, wish they'd stop killing their own OS. I honestly think the first few builds of Windows 11 were a decent step in the right direction in terms of actually getting everything feeling relatively cohesive again. But the AI push and everything that happened right after release has started to let the rot creep back in again.

Next GPU I get I'm just going to run Linux as my main OS and have a VM with a GPU pass through so I can stop losing my mind.

I think this is likely to be what I saw others mention on earlier posts. Lots of enterprise or business software that hooks into the control panel.

So even if Microsoft does migrate all the Windows options over to settings there's still going to be software that uses control panel to manage their own settings.

Unless Microsoft is going to make it possible to hook into the new settings app just as easily then they're going to have to keep the old one around even though they keep crippling it.

They're just going to push people to the cheaper units at this point.

I was looking at sous vide cookers a few months back and was considering ANOVA but they were too expensive. Opted for a generic one instead.

The fact that they're more expensive and require a subscription for what's essentially a set of presets that my cheap unit has for free is just ridiculous.

Wasn't aware of his history before Megaupload really.

You ignored the adware distribution, if you want to see him spreading misinformation feel free to check his Twitter. It runs the gamut from antivaxxer to literal Russian propaganda.

It's hard to feel any sympathy for the guy at this point, he went from odd eccentric file sharing site founder, to adware distributor, all the way to misinformation spreading conspiracy theorist.
