“Failures of the wiper motor shouldn’t come as a surprise,” said Sam Abuelsamid, an analyst at Guidehouse Insights.

“This is the largest individual wiper ever used on a light duty vehicle with a 4-foot-long (1.22 meter) blade. That exceptional long lever arm puts a lot of stress on the motor and there have been a lot of anecdotal reports popping up since early in production of failures,” he said, adding that the overall build quality of the Cybertruck is “quite poor.”

especially not when you’re developing for Windows.

Well, obviously. Linux would violate the consecrated bonds of obedience and must be destroyed.

Also there’s the issue of NVidia drivers

Yeah there’s that.

and also a lot of pro audio stuff isn’t available on Linux.

Mmmm yes and no, but wow you’re wedged in there good, huh. Well . . be safe!

To be fair, they’re usually actually good at legally fucking everyone into the ground. The rest of the company they don’t really care that much as long as the money printer goes brrrrr

I mean - I’ve hated them since the 90’s. It’s not a speed run so much as a philosophy. The principles of BOGU.

What’s the big deal? Microsoft security is top notch. They totally didn’t get p0vvN3d by russia basically twenty minutes ago and have their source code stolen.

It’s why the US gummit is so happy to use micro$quash services.

And y’know even then, who cares if all your data is stolen by state-sponsored cyber crime groups, y’know? M$ has spared no expense to ensure all that data is secured end-to-end with unbreakable encryption even microsoft can’t read! (snkk) Even if they wanted to!

It’s not like they’ve tricked everyone into being data cattle for their giant cloud-ranching operation, to shovel everything into AI and sell the results to anyone at the highest price possible. I mean. We’d have heard something about that if it was the case.

All things considered it’s probably the least of the bad options

They’re trying to salve their conscience for their role in the ongoing disaster that is the demented orange rapist. Maybe.

I mean . . . It’s a different kind of spin. The facts reported - such as can be verified - usually are real facts.

That’s more than a lot of other “outlets” have. After that though, it gets a little slant-y.

That’s just science.

I just had this conversation about throwing soup on paintings to protest ahh . . (checks notes) oh - “Big Oil”.

Apparently I’m a grade a moron for not knowing that’s an excellent way to spread an important message and not at all a shitheaded everything-i-do-must-be-filmed idiot act which only serves to weaken legitimate efforts.

Who knew.

Ah, well that makes sense too

What a fucked up headline. Was he there? No. Was it in DC? No. Perhaps he’s giving a speech nearb- No.

Could the governor be quote-appalled-unquote? Apparently not. Could the mayor be quote-appalled-unquote? The police chief, the rabbis, or possibly anyone at all on god’s green fucking earth be quote-appalled-unquote except Joe Biden for this headline?

AP sez: “No. We’re attaching Joe to this because we can, and any further inference your own mind declares is not our responsibility. Just because we’re hoping to juice the horserace a little, for the roughly $50 million worth of clicks we want. Uh, don’t quote-unquote us on that.”

This is the actual, real, subpoena-the-emails-you’ll-find-it answer.

When you realize that micro$quash has never not been incredibly scammy and skeezy from the get-go, the modern business landscape makes more sense.

Also, every day is a good day to leave microsoft behind forever.

or the entirety of India turning into a huge volcano etc.

Er, I’m . . what?

Huh. Well I’ll be danged.

Yeah, I just wanted to “see them all” so to speak, thinking the language setting could be an input for auto-translation

russia says a lot of things. Oh, and fuck them, btw.

Yes, they’re evil. Was there a question?

Gimme gimme gimme that transparent shell

To be fair, you can be their Platinum Ultra Tier Level Partner or whatever, and they’ll still not reply to you for a week. And when you get the reply it looks like it was written by ChatGPT anyway, and says nothing.
