I can't believe I had to scroll this far down to find a comment that actually understands what is going on. If this DaaS is going to be rolled out then it will be primarily for enterprise customers. Neither in the linked article, or the one it basically steals from, is it asserted that domestic or small scale business users will be affected. And why would it?
But the linked article just reeks of click-bait bullshit, designed to get foaming-at-the-mouth Linux users to post in their indignant hundreds.
I wonder if this has any ramifications for misophonia (the hatred of particular sounds) or hyperacusis (increased sensitivity to sounds)? If I've understood the summary correctly, it leads one to think that some kind of CBT, meditation or similar that might control or reduce the volume of our internal voice might go some way to reducing sensitivity to external unwanted sound.
It didn't say 'inextricably linked,' merely noted a probability. A single, personal anecdote cannot be used to counter a large, long-term study like this.
We poor Slashdotters are now being asked to advise someone who wants a small Windows laptop? Seriously? Go to PC World (or your local equivalent), look at the laptops and choose a small one. How hard can it be?

Hackable satellites!
Hi Donny,
do you believe in Father Christmas?
I guess the sun ain't gonna shine any more for him.
I'd be really happy if it did 23.976fps so I could watch movies on Netflix without having to suffer judder from the pulldown.
What's it got to do with tech? Please don't tell me that even /. is now reduced to posting clickbait?
Again?
The real Scunthorpe problem is that it's a shit-hole in the middle of nowhere.
Yes, everyone should work from home.
We must ban children as well!!

My Austin Allegro is impervious to anything.
Yep, that's how I do it. I long ago stopped Xmarks precisely because Chrome did it all 'in browser.'
Of course all of this is mute
Moot, not mute.
Windows is becoming less and less usable and more and more unstable.
I'd be interested in seeing the evidence for your assertion.
Lesson duly learned.

You want a capitalist free market, but only for other people.

Aren't those things the reason I've been wearing tin-foil hats all this time?
Don't be silly, Microsoft have assisted Kodi in the conversion to UWP and then to XB1.
Is there a B. Streisand in the house?
I think it's more likely that Amazon will become so large and rich that they will privatise America by buying it.
Perhaps the more pressing question is, 'why does anime under-represent the number and complexity of power lines?'
But because they are by definition unidentified, it's unreasonable to claim they are of extra-terrestrial origin.
