I’m glad I don’t use that piece of shit.

Firefox or nothing.

I really think every package repository should be opt in and every publisher should be required to verify their identity and along with checksum verification for the downloaded files.

I mean programming language package managers are just begging to be used as an attack vector. This is why package management should be an OS responsibility across the board and only trusted package sources and publishers should ever be allowed.

I meant the car’s AC and sound system but okay.

Anywhere in the modern era basically

Honestly at this point just make a mobile app to control it.

Intel is the only US based and owned foundry that is on the leading edge of fab process technology. That’s what the government wants domestically. Defense isn’t just military and certain intelligence and similar functions need high performance hardware. I somehow don’t think the NSA is using CPUs made on Northrop Grumman’s 180 nm planar CMOS process. Army radios might use that shit but the highest tech defense and intelligence agencies are using modern hardware. Intel is the best option for manufacturing it.

TSMC could be an option now with its US based GIGAFABs but it would be a much more complex deal with the US government where chips made for it would have to be made entirely in the US and possibly by a US domiciled subsidiary instead of TSMC’s main Taiwan based parent company. The same goes for Samsung.

Intel is too big to fail. And the defense sector needs an advanced domestic foundry. Uncle Sam will bail it out with our tax money.

Intel already laid off thousands and is still getting CHIPS Act taxpayer money.

Not to derail the discussion but this makes me wonder if anyone here in the US actually uses .us or .co.us instead of .com, .net, .org, .edu, or .gov.

What an absolute masterstroke for a software company.

The fact that it isn’t open source and costs money to use. I actually like Windows over Linux even as someone who has written Linux kernel drivers for a living, or maybe because of that but the fact that I can’t poke around the code and improve the system is annoying to me.

It’s also why I’m working on a project to develop my own OS from scratch that has a better design and programming interface than POSIX and Linux respectively and is easy to use like Windows. It’s not an easy task but certainly a worthwhile one IMO.

Has Microsoft never heard of testing and QA?
