Doesn’t surprise me that a developer from Microsoft doesn’t understand this. To this day, when I select “Update and Shut Down” in Windows, it only actually shuts the computer down about half the time.

There are some tasks that only can be done when the majority of the system is not in use. Windows prepares the files, reboots, does its thing in a preboot environment, then it actually shuts down.

If you squint at it the switch says “cuck”.

The forced day-night cycle timer perhaps?

Matthew Bye, Google’s head of competition law, will be leaving as well

Huh, wouldn’t that mean that Theo is almost 3 metres tall?

To be fair they called a lot of their “intelligent” features AiSomething wayyy before the LLM explosion happened. Their overclocking tool for Z97 motherboards (around 2014) was called AiSuite.

Except the sims and pets themselves those were 3D models

NK sent back kpoop instead

Before that, we need to talk about the latent heat and the refrigeration cycle

His mother must be very proud

Also wouldn’t that pull in major antitrust violation cases especially in the EU?

I pay $2800 a year to this company for Internet and TV - and I still have to watch commercials.

Wait. You’re paying $230+ per month for internet and tv? Even if I was currently living in Western Europe, a fully maxed out package there wouldn’t cost half of that and that’s without the time gated discounts.
(For comparison: tested with ziggo.nl, largest tv and largest internet package with landline phone comes out to ~€95/month)

Better still they had actually taken it and put in into production in place of the code that CTO had written, and which was the basis of the “correct” solution.

The test was just a set-up for free work.

It’s owned by MS. Just to give you a view how important do they think it is, if you’re on Windows press Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L on your keyboard.

Modern phones do a thing called “race to sleep”. If they’re awake every other background process also runs, so it’s beneficial to do the task as quickly as possible then go back to sleep.

From the description he put on the per track pages he just added a bunch of equalizers, compressors, stereo imaging shapers and increased the BPM because why not. Oh and also he added “audiophile grade” to the title for good measure.
