"You are holding it wrong", maybe it's intentional and Apple decided that you should use Siri more

That's saying something a bit different, though yeah I agree.

And btw, I have "auto-correct" disabled and this stupid bug still happens. Which is to say, yes, I agree, Apple is user hostile.

Not sure what you are babbling about but, It's about ethnicity and not race. Plenty of third generation Turks still don't consider themselves German, then someone with black skin adopted as a child might consider themself German, it's about culture not race, we're not in last century anymore. Proportion of young people with immigrant background is high in many Westeuropean countries, if they don't integrate into society they won't be willing to defend it.

You seem to exactly know what I'm babbling about. Parent commentator somehow confused "looks like" for "is citizen of", something you seem to grasp perfectly well.

For all we know, 100% of the people the parent saw were actually "Young Germans", as you cannot tell people's nationality by just looking at them. Unless of course, "Young Germans" is actually referring to something else, not people's nationality.

It's plain to see that it's the racists who aren't integrated and properly socialized, not the people "with a background".

Just one more reason to boycott Apple products

Unfortunately identity theft is common these days, most people don't even know that they are victims of it.

But is it sold enough to regular Windows Home users? If MS brings an ultimatum: "you need to buy AI services to use Windows", they might get a bunch more clueless subscribers. In the same way as there's no ability to set up Windows without internet connection and MS account they could make it mandatory to subscribe to Copilot.

Not true. They're clearly unwilling or unable to remove this code path fully, or they would have done so by now. There's just a different workaround for it every few years.

There’s probably some compliance requirement that it’s technically possible to set it up without an internet connection, so they leave it there, but make it unreasonably difficult for a majority to do it.

I wrote about Windows Home, they sure can divert the code further and lock it down completely. The same probably can't be done for Pro version unless they want to break Group Policy

I think Microsoft's long-term plan is exactly that: to make Windows itself a subscription product. Windows 12 Home for $4.99 a month, Copilot included. It will be called OSaaS.

I think you wrote Ass OS wrong :)

Imagine subscribing to an OS when Linux exists.

Memory chips are divertied to registered server RAM and those will not fit most workstations

Nothing stops you building an EPYC based workstation. For the last socket you could even get mATX boards from Asrock Rack which were kind of ridiculous - I was very tempted to build my PC around one.
