Yesterday my spouse was trying to figure out how to set up copilot. I was trying to show them how I use AI to automate some of my flows, and tried to set it up for them, but turns out Copilot is different under every area of the company. Github Copilot != Office Copilot != Windows Copilot. They are all different and require different subscriptions! Horrible horrible user interface. Even the shit they’re trying to push everywhere on everyone is convoluted to hell. Why in the hell is would there not be one subscription that gives you access to everything?

Microsoft is bloated and bureaucratic, and this whole thing proves it. They never think out of their divisional lines and it shows so hard. “Why would our subscription need to be linked with X or Y division?” _Because to a customer, there are no divisions, it’s just Excel and Visual Studio, it’s all just microsoft.

As someone who had to care for their SO as they vomited multiple times after they were roofied at a bar, from the bottom of my heart, go fuck yourself.

I remember the guy who did it, fucking coward saw my fiance, even saw the ring, and did it when she set her drink down for less than a minute while I was in line for the bathroom. As soon as I walked back he immediately walked away, and I had to care for my fiance while she vomited multiple times, INCLUDIING IN HER SLEEP, she was confused, scared, and in the morning was horrified that she didn’t remember. She had only two drinks that night, and I remember almost calling 911.

Fuck everybody who even thinks about doing something so horrible, and I shudder at what could have happened if I had decided not to go out with her and her work friends that night. Fuck guys who roofie people, and the right after fuck guys who think joking about them is funny.

Nothing concrete, but their stated goal is to play any pc game on it, similar to what steam did with the deck. That was enough to scare off sony

They made such a wonderful bug beautiful world and filled it with fetch quests and chests. I swear ubisoft should focus on making worlds, then hand it off together studios who know how to write stories and fill those worlds

So, not defending them because it’s still a stupid choice, but their reasons were not because PC bad, but because Xbox announced their “Play PC games on the next Xbox”. Meaning Microsoft’s next console could play PS games now (if they bought the PC version). Sony doesn’t want their rival console to play their games, so they revoked it.

I still think it’s stupid, exclusives are stupid, but that’s the actual reason before many more people claim that sony hates PC players. (I mean they do, but not for the reason you think)

It was Xbox. Their “You can play anything on the next xbox” made Sony pissed, and that’s ultimately why they scaled it back.

I’ve never seen it put so well. Yes it’s a monopoly, but unlike most bad monopolies it didn’t get there from being predatory, or anti competitive. Ironically with the Deck I’d argue by allowing other launchers and stores they’re surprisingly pro-competition.

It’s that every single other store (except GOG) has done everything in their power to be as anti-consumer pro-business as they can and just have destroyed themselves. EA’s Origin from the start was a buggy mess with bad DLC. Ubisoft was just an Assassin’s Creed store and pissed everyone off by forcing it and not giving a single reason to be over there except “You can’t buy Valhalla anywhere else”, proving how little PC players needed to play Valhalla. Microsoft had a strict 5-install limit of installing games over the lifetime of the purchase, and you had to use their shitty “I solidly work 15% of the time” microsoft store. Everything other store was just hot garbage made up by MBAs who had zero interest of serving the consumer.

But now “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”

Phenomenal. They chose the buggiest operating system for a spacecraft. Amazing.

I think we’re both right in a way. They won’t care about Windows specifically, but Windows to them isn’t the product anymore. It’s the entrypoint for users to Microsoft services, which is why they advertise so much in Windows now for OneDrive, Office, Copilot. You’re essentially already in their store just by using Windows. So the real loss isn’t that people aren’t using Windows, it’s that people are cancelling OneDrive and Office subscriptions. That is what is going to be noticed.

What’s really interesting to me is these numbers:

From this, it’s roughly that Windows 11 + Linux = (-) Windows 10. So people really are pissed about migrating to 11, and leaving in droves. 5% of the market is huge. This is not being ignored my Microsoft. Rough number I see is there are 14M Steam users in the US. 5.3% of that is 742,000 computers. 742,000 points of entry into OneDrive, Office, Xbox, and of course Copilot that will never be exposed to them. That’s millions in potential revenue lost.

It’s fine. It’s not going to get any better with age. Look people will say it’s crap, it’s shit, it’s horrible. It’s not. It’s just, fine. It’s not amazing, it’s not groundbreaking, it’s just plainly fine.

The real issue is that they obviously had a lot of really cool ideas that were all left half finished or cut it out for the sake of simplicity. We can’t have advanced mining, that’d be too complex. We can’t have too many story lines, it’d confuse people.

So, treat it as it is, it’s an okay game, it’s fun, it’s just not going to be RDR2 or Cyberpunk. I’d say it’s solidly worth 30-40 dollars. Pick it up if it’s on sale.

I think that’s the neat thing, that science doesn’t ever full know anything. Religion is the opposite, they “know” something and then try to prove it. Science is like “Evidence points to this, but who knows? If new evidence comes out that contradicts it we’ll look into that too”

oh man watch out, you might be posted about here on mildlyinfuriating

Christ, you’re offended by me saying it was a joke that no one got hurt by? The most you were inconvenienced was hitting delete, and that offended you? That’s your bar for offense there. One joke ad hitting your inbox one time offended you. This is why we’re made fun of, this right here, why people say we can’t joke anymore and this gives them credibility in that statement. There will always be someone who cannot simply move on. It always has to be a big thing that personally offended you. It’s MildlyInfuriating, not I’m offended by a soda can.

The joke I’m pretty sure was “Wouldn’t it be weird if we had ads here”, it’s cool man, no one got hurt, it was a joke. If it happens tomorrow I’ll be upset.

Yeah not in the best taste, but everything today should be taken with a grain of salt

LOL no shit, I have two separate threads going on, one about Tim Sweeney here and another in /c/movies about Sydney Sweeney! That is amazing, I did not understand why you posted the image but damn, that was stupid of me. I don’t care it stands, and I stand by my opinion of Sydney!

God she’s just not likeable. I’ll admit that she was great in White Lotus, but it’s because she was seemingly just playing herself! She did a great job at being an unlikable brat!

We just watched “Anyone but you” as a joke, and man what a shit job she did. Ironically she did really great at the beginning of the movie, by the end it was just a trainwreck. Funny enough, I also dislike Glenn Powell, but that movie made me like him more. It was a shit script and he honestly did a pretty good job with it. While there are many better than him, it does take talent to take a shit script and try to make something of it.

But I mean, her boobs were nice in it. So I guess that’s enough for Hollywood to say that it was in fact a movie.

And then they bitch. All. The time. About it.

We keep choosing the worst possible choices for the customer but the customers are going somewhere else! Why?!?!

Gonna need captain big brain over here for why Valve has a monopoly.

Hollywood’s formula continues. It had mild success, gotta make a franchise out of it. And people will pay to see her boobs.
