Or just paying attention and buying a laptop with AMD instead of Nvidia. I know it's unacceptable to make people actually look beyond the color of the laptop when they buy it, but it really needs to be done.
Only because it checks for it. you can install a lot of the MS updates and add ons without SP3 if you break open their installers and get at the delicious gooey insides.
"XB1 Platform team MASSIVELY screwed the pooch" No the XB1 executives that neutered the platform to increase profit margins are at fault. There is NO EXCUSE for the platform to not be 1080p and enough horsepower to easily handle everything at that resolution. The platform team had their hands tied by a bunch of idiots in suits telling them they need to make it cheaper so they can make more profits off of the device.
1/3rd the cost? I know people that live in homes that cost LESS than the price of one. hell I bought my very nice home 5 years ago at the bottom of the market crash for less than the price of a Model S and I'm on the edge of the $5,000,000 mansion neighborhood. so it's considered upper middle class land.
You cant call california home prices normal, they are ungodly abnormal.
That makes no sense because Security is far tighter under a Linux than any windows you can buy. so a company that actually cares about security will be all over Linux/Unix.
Xubuntu. Nice tidy and easy to maintain remotely. You can easily make a standard deployment from it and easily deploy new software or updates without ever touching the machine.
But it is easy to keep off your system. http://www.foolishit.com/vb6-p... completely neuters it before it is ever launched, and it also makes changes that blows up 90% of the trojans infection vectors out there.
Mechwarrior Pods, they went out of business and all that is left is a handfull across the country still played by a small rabid fanbase. (I luckily have a bunch near me) NASCAR Experience stores... Again died off rapidly, had a small but rabid following. Price to play was so high that barely anyone played them.
The Sony/Toyota venture will also be a failure. Everyone before them failed badly because it was done half assed, and horribly overpriced to play. If it costs more than $2.00 to play for 10 minutes, you are overpriced and need to stop now.
No, noneeks hate them as well. Overcharging for Internet and Cable TV, Bad service, bad Customer service, refusal to listen to customers, refusal to fix customer problems if it costs money (Cables are under water and causing major problems...)
Even the employees that work there hate the company.
The males of the species are completely insane until age 25.
I keep telling my daughter, "boys are not only incredibly stupid, but they are complete idiots until age 25... and then only SOME of them will grow out of it. Some will stay completely stupid for the rest of their lives."
I also let her know, because she is so pretty and is very well endowed on the chest, that boys will go extra stupid the closer she get's to them.
"But what caused the decline in American manufacturing?"
Unadulterated GREED.
Allowing rich assholes to move manufacturing offshore for free dramatically increases profit margins. The ones that stayed here, those are not assholes.
They screwed up the CEC control protocol so bad that nothing is compatible. They had a chance to spell out the CEC and then DEMAND that in order to use HDMI they must fully support CEC.
TV and device makers are all ran by major retards that think they need to have special "secret" command codes. and it's complete BS. a LG tv set should be able to control any HDMI device hooked up to it.
The blame lies at the feet of the idiots that Designed HDMI. They are the ones that need to be beaten with a sack of hot doorknobs.
Kids should be given FULL copies of Visual Studio. and a decent set of books that explain to kids how to use it and write software.
Many kids started with a home computer that did nothing but drop you into a basic interpreter prompt and they ramped up fast on their own.
Sadly Visual Basic is just C# lite so it has as steep of a learning curve as C# and C++ does directly. so there is nothing that a kid can get right into fast.
Except it makes it even easier to bully people in court.
I crash my car into your house, I then show up with 500 lawyers and sue you for 22.2 million dollars for building your house in my way. you are looking at $10 million if you lose, How about we settle out of court for $150,000 instead? you cave in because your lawyer states that I can bleed you dry in legal fees and you really should take the settlement.
It already happens today, but now I can financially MURDER you easier. What is needed is a LIMIT or CAP on legal fees that can be spent in a court case to 10% of the lowest income persons total income, so if AT&T sues you, they cant spend more than 10% of your income, thus keeping them from bleeding you dry.

This is MCSE's we are talking about, using the keyboard like that is not a part of their training.

Current Gen does NOT aim at 1080p XB1 is not capable of 1080p.

I want large steel spikes in the middle of steering wheels. a lot of drivers need to be impaled.

Sherman tanks can drive through walls without catching fire...
If I do that and compare it to Volvos, the Tesla is far more dangerous.
Picking and choosing data is FUN!

FTFY
Electric vehicles are NOT zero emission, please stop spreading this marketing lie.

That right there is one of the retarded males. He was cast out by everyone else and he sits in his basement sulking.
Ladies, that type of male you must avoid at all costs. You can identify them by the smell of Parmesan cheese that wafts from them.
Yes, if they closed up most of the plants in Germany and Japan? They absolutely are assholes.
No, noneeks hate them as well.

Yup. Ask Gary Indiana how the 90's were to it. Gary is still a smoking crater of what used to be the largest industrial cities in america.

"Experts" are shown to be alarmists, news at 11.
Honestly if the computer is used by someone that has at least some REAL knowlege about computer operation and safety it really is not a problem.
Sadly this does not help "experts" get paid, so spreading fear is far more profitable.
