On: Phil Spencer is exiting Microsoft as AI executive takes over Xbox

[twilo]

His successor seems to have zero experience in the industry

[galkk → twilo]

It feels that they’ve finally got understanding that Xbox is total mess and try? To reboot completely. Because “Xbox president” seemingly is booted too

> Alongside him, Xbox President Sarah Bond is also exiting the company, who many suspected would be Spencer's successor in leading Xbox.

Phil Spencer entered with Xbox in a total mess and he was never really able to get them out of the mess.

I like Phil as CEO of Microsoft. I think Microsoft's corporate strategy never really made sense for Microsoft and I think Microsoft has a massive and worsening culture problem. It seems like leadership fail upwards, which tells me that at the executive and junior executive level the job is internal politics.

Their cars today are much better than when sales were at their peak.

Getting politics to get in the way of good engineering is a real shame.

I do not consider removing redundant sensors like lidar or infrared from the comprehensive Tesla sensor network and pretending that cameras can do FSD perfectly a good example of engineerring.

Totally agree, let the guy do his nazi salute, who cares about politics?? Car go vroom!

The cars are much worse today when you compare them to the competition.

On: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11's AI overload

[twilo]

Died? It’s been working perfectly fine for me for years now.

On: Building a macOS app to know when my Mac is thermal throttling

[twilo]

You can just ping your CPU usage to the menu bar and monitor that. I have CPU and total system wattage up there so I always know if something weird is going on.

Yeah! That's how I initially suspected that it was thermal throttling because I saw in iStat Menus that my wattage was going down for a constantly high CPU usage

On: I can't upgrade to Windows 11, now leave me alone

Why bother with Linux when there is MacOS? You get decent hardware to go with it too

[chocochunks → twilo]

Actual control over my computer? Apple might have less ads, but they really go out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable doing anything they deem not the happy path. And they're still plenty willing to push subscriptions and their software.

[MarsIronPI → twilo]

Because some of us would rather not have to buy new hardware just because Apple says no more updates for your machine.

[canyp → twilo]

Because MacOS is just as insidious? Recent versions will bring up the iCloud pop-up on every boot. Won't go away until you comply.

Both Mac and Windows are for suckers.

[timbit42 → twilo]

You're only delaying the inevitable.

IMO Mac eco is good hardware plus meh software. Some built ins are really in bad shape — but I guess people have different opinions, although I think calling Finder a beta version is an insult to “beta”.

AMG One did it in 6:29.xxx

They can do better

This chassis would be perfect for the 2nm chips next year

On: Family of MSFT employee who died warn tech companies not to overwork workers

[twilo]

I dunno I’ve been seeing more of these stories ever since sars2 started circulating but it’s probably “just stress”

[andai → twilo]

Hush now. I come here to numb my emotions, not contemplate death.

On: China is eating the world

[twilo]

China still burns more coal than anyone else by the way

[triceratops → twilo]

It has the second most number of people and next to no natural gas. What do you expect? And why is it relevant?

[thombee → twilo]

They're still leading the green revolution. You're criticising on of the countries doing the most for climate change because they aren't perfect. Seems might unfair
