What‘s more amazing is the chronic anti-Apple stance of many Android/Windows fanboys and fangirls. It‘s like the Steve Ballmer iPhone-release-interview all over again.

Apple and Microsoft are just two very different companies as they always have been. One is a software company that regularly fails with its hardware products and has now turned towards using its users to harvest data at a nightmarish privacy scale, massively investing in a „fuck copyrights“-AI company.

The other is a company that has perfected a hardware-software ecosystem and is more and more creating huge turnovers with services that complement said ecosystem. What you‘ve missed to mention is Apple‘s SoC that still leave the competition in panic mode because of power and power efficiency. MS has tried to establish ARM as a hardware basis more than once and is failing miserably again and again, while Apple has eased everyone into a promising ARM future. This is also the reason for the MS-Intel-Copilot partnership. Two failing companies (in certain areas, for MS) don‘t make a success.

Why can‘t both companies be successful in very different ways?


Just don‘t go there. Country‘s been a mess for a long time anyway.


Nah. Most Americans probably think this is communism.


Maybe it‘s linked to streaming resolution and bitrate.


No thanks. Mastodon has been there for ages and its background is not another VC funded startup company first burning through money and then finding no real way to sustain the platform, finally turning to ads and selling user data.


Wow. I hope, I‘ll never have to fly in a Boeing plane again. As a European, I‘m happy for Airbus.


So monopolies are OK but only when it benefits Europeans?


"I don't want to fly company A, im happy with company B."

And from that phrase you took that OP likes B to be a monopoly? All that because he expressed... choice on the competitor?


Well, at least that monopoly won‘t kill me. Can‘t say that about a Boeing flight.



You feel hurt because you work at Boeing?


Please read what exactly has been discussed in the meeting which has been the reason for the current protests. The government has just passed new policies on deportations so for the AfD it‘s not just about deporting criminals.

As they‘re basically Nazis, just look up how everything was building up back in the 1930s-1940s. Then you‘ll know what the people are demonstrating against today.


Not nearly as many. It looked big because it was tractors instead of people. And it was very well covered in all media. Don‘t try to spread false information here.


There are not that many farmers, though, and tractors are relatively slow. If you consider that, the impact of those protests was quite high.


> tractors are relatively slow

You're assuming "with a tractor" was the only way for farmers to show up to these protests. It was not; many of them showed up in plain cars.

> impact of those protests was quite high

Indeed, mostly because they were very disruptive. Despite prior assurances, they even hindered emergency services in performing their jobs.


I absolutely agree. I was also very disappointed by the many far-right statements and symbols I saw on signs. Sure, it might not have been the majority, but I can't understand how you're able to join these protests if you don't agree with the others' statements.


You can thank Intel for artificially segregating the market by limiting ECC to their more expensive W680 chipset. I went with AMD and ECC RAM at the cost of power efficiency. However, CPU and Motherboard alone would have cost double compared to my AMD config.


It‘s called UPS and is an external battery box that you connect to your server via USB or Ethernet.
