I'd love to know why people working in this space assume we don't know these things.
There's not enough ad revenue in the world to whole hog support AI as it is now in the foreseeable future when people already can't afford to buy things.
When you consider that we as humans do follow around our dogs and watch them go potty, it totally makes more sense that they would reciprocate by following us into the bathroom.
My understanding is they already made it more annoying. Your devices have to connect to the home accounts "home" wifi within a certain amount of time or that device gets locked out.
I quit Netflix when they announced the pilot program for removing account sharing in South America, and I stand by that decision to this day.
Anyone else feel like they are only floating this idea so that data centers in neighborhoods driving up the cost of electricity and polluting everything looks better by comparison?
I use Voyager (and boost, and sync before that). I like Voyager (now that I'm used to it), but I wish the medium sized thumbnails in compact mode were slightly larger.
I have never not been able to call them and threaten to cancel if they didn't lower my rate though. That's the crazy thing. I don't have them anymore (thank God) but I had Comcast for close to 15 years and did this repeatedly.
I'm curious how they're going to implement controls on this at my job. All the tech data I use, literally,. Is considered to be privileged/proprietary information. They literally make us dispose of any printed copies in secured containers.
I don't think the IT department is going to let this ride. Especially after they only just got windows 11 up and running with the software we need to use.
You're forgetting people going to college who's colleges require certain software or even permissions for all kinds of things like turning in classwork to taking proctored quizzes etc.
Even highschools and middle schools do things like this now. Sometimes on hardware owned by the school, but yeah even on hardware owned by the individuals.
I actually mostly really love Linux. I think if all you do is surf the web, stream, and maybe use chat services or email, Linux would be perfect for you.
But then again, so would a Chromebook.
I use Linux for gaming but I'm not trying to play games that have kernel level anti-cheat, and most of the games I play are indies, or retro games.
I fully recognize that my experience with Linux isn't everyone else's and while I agree that a majority of non-business windows users can probably switch to a Linux distro and be perfectly happy, most people use windows because it already came with their hardware and they don't have to do anything to keep using it.
There's still some barrier to entry, even though with every change like this one that MS makes, that barrier is getting flimsier and flimsier.
And for every great guide to fix a Linux issue that I find, there's an equally bad guide that assumes that someone has a base knowledge of a certain level and doesn't give step by step instructions.
Windows guides give step by step instructions with pictures and terminal/command line commands that you can copy and paste. Almost never ever see an article with "just open up the terminal and run " blah blah blah" on windows. But I see it all the time from Linux users.
If we want people to switch, we need to make content for newbies. We need to lower that barrier to entry. Not just with guides on how to install either.
Even Comcast will allow you to sign up as a new customer with whatever deal they are running if your previous account is closed. That's saying a lot because they're an absolute dogshit company.
