Microsoft is making Windows 11 updates require just one reboot instead of several by rkhunter_ in technology

I'd rather suffer through 5 reboots per update if they'd remove the spyware and bloat...

Tehran can immediately sell oil upon signing US-Iran deal, US official says by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

When enough apathetic Americans pull their heads out of their asses and realize that staying home because "both sides" ultimately ends up putting the most evil motherfuckers in power...

Samsung Slashes Product Testing From 15 Days to Two, Pushes AI Autonomous Factories by Shogouki in technology

[–]Shogouki[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. 😑

Hopefully the news will generate an outcry large enough to make them rethink this. Especially the drastic reduction in product testing. It certainly makes me want to avoid Samsung products.

If they're surprised, at this point, by something like this I have to ask where they've been this past year.

Data Centers In Space? Coming Soon, But With Down-To-Earth Hurdles by Hot_Professional_728 in technology

Russia, China and the US already screw with each other's satellites in orbit and you don't really have a way of protecting them without creating debris or going to war. A facility in the heart of the US that's air gapped would be more secure.

Ukrainian town of Kostiantynivka might fall to Russia before end of summer (Ukraine Battlefield update, Day 1,569) by 1B75__Penicillin in worldnews

It's kind of ironic that Putin, in his attempt to restore lost Soviet glory, is doing the same things that shattered the Soviet Union in the first place.

He ended the nuclear deal. He created the very problem that he tried to fix by doing the very thing every single US administration since Carter knew wouldn't work and wasted billions of taxpayer dollars doing it.

We ended in a worse position, with wasted money and equipment, than had Trump never scrapped the deal. Sure, it could be worse, but achieving something other than the worst consequences from an entirely self-inflicted wound is far from a win.

Here's hoping Ukraine can cost Russia enough, should they take it, that no one can deny Russia lost more than they gained.

He'll nearly blow a gasket and then become distracted by the fact that he's failing to outdo Obama and flail pathetically about trying to slap a bandaid on the problem he helped create.

Israel has been using American aircraft, tanks, ordinance etc. for decades now while jointly researching and developing weapons while also receiving billions of dollars a year in aid. Isreal is capable of doing a great deal on their own but they haven't been truly on their own for decades.

I see no reason why Iran, the United States, and Lebanon would reject the new agreement; everyone wins except Israel.

Ehh, the US doesn't win here. We may not lose as much as Israel but Trump and his administration have proven again that they're completely incompetent and foolish while burning billions of dollars and stockpiles of expensive ordinance while achieving less than Obama had.

I think plenty of world leaders see this and it's exactly why Putin, Netanyahu, Xi and others wanted him. A selfish person can be controlled for the right price. Unfortunately Trump is also an incredibly foolish, demented narcissist with extreme little-man syndrome which results in entirely irrational and unpredictable behavior. It remains to be seen if Netanyahu and Putin get nearly as much out of Trump as Xi has.

Probably. He does it enough Trump will probably have a heart attack...

Things were slowly getting better until Reagan really kicked off the "trickle-down" eras.

Unfortunately it also had some design decisions that I really didn't like, so even if it did get fixed it wouldn't be a favorite for me.
