  • 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.




  • 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.




  • Although i think you’re right, you too where once a kid.

    And. Tell me. What did you do with your money back then? Everything you bought was well thought out? You still use day to day everything you bought back then? Or where you just a child and did you buy candy, fireworks, some comics, that game console you sold 2 years later for not even half the price, that cheap rc car which broke after 1 day?

    Its a slippery slope. Just because something doesn’t have value to you does not mean the same applies to someone else.

    Stuff like this can give kids a certain social standing in the brutal world of the classroom. That’s something to consider also, group pressure, wanting to fit in. The need to be part of the group.

    Allowance is a learning experience. My son did the same, for years bought only fortnite skins with his allowance. Like you i warned him against it. But i never forbid it. He’s 14 now and regrets it.

    He doesn’t buy fortnite skins anymore. That’s the end goal, isn’t it? To learn and move on?



  • 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.
