  • 30 years ago? So 1995. As one who was there: fuck no. The 90s where cool, everything seemed fixed, osties travelling through Europe in their Trabant 2 stroke miniature cars. (That was fun on the Autobahn) Only Saddam was jerking around and that was far away, internet was brand new, everything seemed possible. No terrorist threat of the RAF, IRA or the bask separation front. There was even hope for peace in Israel.

    But if you would say 40 or 50 years ago? I would say fuck yes. It’s much better nowadays.The cold war was wild. The recession of the 80s was bleak af, Thatcher, Reagan. PLO, RAF, IRA, Basks. No man, there was a reason behind films like aliens, Terminator and punk music. Why they resonated with society at that time. Contrary to current popular belief the 80s was not a decade long neon party. Many people lost their jobs. Youth unemployment was at it’s highest ever. No jobs, no houses available. It was dark. Darkest time of my life. Everyone thought nuclear war was inevitable. We would all die of radiation or in the cold harsh nuclear winter. Yup. That was the Outlook at that time.

    70s was the all time high of the cold war, oil crisis, something else i’m forgetting. But I was a small child back then so everything about that era is hearsay.

    But for me? The 90s where good. 80s sucked hard. (End) 70s also had a lot of downs.



  • The issue with Musk is the very clear meddling in EU politics first, second his insane behavior and third, his Nazi salute.

    If he kept in his lane and just kept his MAGA insanity stateside the Fallout would be a lot less worse.

    But the moment he entered the EU political scene he murdered his brandS in the EU.

    they will never recover. The damage was done at the worst time possible, when kia, Hyundai andthe entire German automobile industry went all out with EVs and China (byd) entered the EU EV market.

    Tesla is done.

    SELL. don’t HODL.




  • 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.








  • As an oppo user I can only say: you’re wrong. You’re very wrong.

    Samsung one UI is a godsend compared with this… This … shit.

    Popups, tracking, insane ui choices. Half of the shit doesn’t work behind a pihole which in itself is damning enough. Everything feels bolted on. Everything feels like its only there to check boxes. Nothing feels natural. Gestures here but not there. Apple style features in Android so half of the time you’re totally lost: does this option still use standard Android logic or is this rewritten as an apple clone?

    I really feel tricked into buying this phone. Excellent reviews but the user experience is very lacking. Maybe all of the reviewers are apple users and are happy to see all this shit in Android but I for one am lost. I use Android because i hate the apple way of doing things. If i wanted an apple device I would’ve bought an apple device.

    I kept it because i thought it would get used to it. I did not.

    We’ve done that already a few times. After over 3000 years of empires must we really? Again? The Greek empire, the roman empire, the spanish empire, the holy roman empire, the dutch golden century, the British (largest globe spanning empire ever) and French empires, Austria Hungaria and I’m quite certain even Portugal had its day. And let’s not forget Germany. Or the Soviet union and tsarist Russia. Also nice as far as empires go.

    Anyway…

    Sigh.

    Fine.

    But dont come crying if you dont like the outcome.

    Pax Americana only ended because you guys voted for it. We where fine with it, hanging out, buying your shit. Using your tech.



  • 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.
