This seems like complete bullshit.

Ive worked for them and seen how things run. Its pretty normal and non ominous. The government it department was very well run, efficient, highly skilled, good worker rights. Nothing to complain about other than salaries being a bit lower than private sector.

My mum works for a welfare department and she also echo’s that its just people doing their job and everything I said except the efficiency aspect because its a lot of face to face empathic type tasks you can’t optimise it without making it souless.

As for the political parties themselves they are directly a representative of the population. The fact that some parities are incompetent and racist is exactly what I see reflected from half my country. I look at what they say and what they vote on and it tracks pretty closely. These people all seem to think they are improving the country even the ones who are fucking it up (looking at you David Seymour and Rawiri Waititi).

But I’m lucky to live in a country with low-ish corruption.

The older I get the more I trust it. The government is generally pretty large and reliable.

Seeing random scandals and over indexing on is a common issue. People love to make shit up and lie because they have no interest in the boring truth.

On one hand this is the death of independent sites funding themselves off organic traffic. On the other hand these sites were shit and should have died a long time ago.

They’ll still exist just moved off to social media instead.

Headphone jack is ewaste at this point. I know all the people here still cling to them because they brought a pair of $50 earphones 15 years ago. But all wired earphones have been usbc for over a decade and most people have wireless ones.

They have no choice but to move on. The aws outage took most things offline and everyone moved on. Half the people in this thread say their internet goes down weekly. 99.99999% uptime is a meme that very few companies actually require.

Im sorry to hear that. Maybe this is a product aimed at 1st world countries. Expected downtime for 1st world countries is normally under an hour a year and I think people can live with that.

If your internet is shit you do not need to buy this.

You realise that windows already does this and you can still work without internet. The way the sign in tokens works does not require 100% internet connection.

I hate the idea of a cloud OS but I also dont care about society collapsing as an argument.

Ok your internet goes down for a few hours and life moves on. Its not the end of the world.

im sorry your ISP is dogshit. I dont think anyone in your area will want to buy this product.

You do realise power outages affect regular PC users and cloud PC users all the same.

I understand and expect down votes. I am on the same wavelength as most people here. I am just trying to offer some commentary that isnt the same 100x repeated X bad perspective.

I actually asked for something exactly like this at my work a few years ago. I was like why the fuck are we buying 1000 machines when we can run all these desks as VMs off our servers. We didnt end up doing it but I still think its a decent idea for business.

For consumers its a very good value proposition but a horrible trap.

If thats happening you got bigger problems

I have no idea how you put up with that. I would not accept that from any ISP router. If my ISP router has any issue I can ship it back for free and receive a brand new one a few days later. There should also be options for bringing your own router.

This product is aimed at people who live in places with reliable infra. (no offense intended)

yes but how often does your internet go down? I agree with the sentiment and I hate this but we should think about this from an average user perspective when we make our argument. Internet doesnt go down, I’ve had more electricity outages than internet outages in the past 5 years. if you live in a city its a rare thing.

The reason why people shouldnt want this in my opinion is not because its day to day worse but because its worse long term. These companies will offer it at a low price to entice you then yank the rug out from under you. You will never be safe with an option like this because at any time it can be taken from you and one day there might not be an alternative market of computers to purchase.

Wow a 4chan user has a job.

Massive props to this guy for getting this far. I remember when he made the video saying he didnt want to be the leader and wanted to quit and just play games. Then people said yeah it sucks but youve been given this opportunity and we need you to seize the moment and he has.

We should be movinf the fuck away from the us in our integration. Dont do it national, dont like the palantir boot.

“A secret postmortem of Harris’s performance by the DNC found that her major issue with voters stemmed from Biden’s poor handling of Israel’s massacre in Gaza and her own refusal to break with him on it, a policy choice that fundamentally soured support from progressives and young voters.”

This statement and seeing who posted it disregards the entire article. This is an attempt to undermine a solid democratic candidate to help the right win in 2028 nothing more.
