hey guys its riley from the video speaking to you from inside the Windows 365 Link PC device thing. Sure enough it is empty as heck in here and very dark.

Do you think a cloud based OS will replace Windows 11 or later down the line worse if they require you have to pay a subscription per month just to use your own PC that you bought could be possible they put that on next update to all computers that will be the final nail in the coffin seeing the Microsoft 365 link to be will happen to others computers as well.

350$ for a thin client that only works with a 30+$ monthly subscription must be one of the worst deals in computer history EDIT: Since everyone here seems to think I'm stupid and don't know that this is meant for enterprise users: Yes, I do, in fact, know that. But the funny thing is: For buisness, this just seems like an even worse deal. For 350$ per device, you can get a PC that's perfectly reasonable to do office work, and you won't even need to connect to another PC for it. And to the people saying that enterprise customers will negotiate a lower price: You know they do that with other vendors as well, right?

[@bayanzabihiyan7465]

If that comes with the office subscription, then that’s not really that much of an increase for enterprise customers.

For their intended use case in enterprise solutions ThinClients are actually really good.

I for example use an old one as a home assistant host for my smart home (cheaper than a similar raspy and with about the same power consumption), I know of others that build cheap nas or Media PCs with them etc... so they actually can have a ton of use, just not as a stand alone Desktop Workstation. That said, this m365 cloud thingy sounds a bit ridiculous, especially as there are a lot of cheaper options already available.

They were pretty much at the end of the line when he became CEO, in the 10 years since then the stock has grown by about 1000% compared to compared to the -14% growth from 2000s to 2014. If I was an investor I would be happy, the only problem is that most of us aren't. Don't blame Nadella, dude just saved his company by selling it to the devil, blame the devil.

Investors LOVE subscriptions, because that’s predictable and stable revenue with 100% margins. Thus everything is switching to subscription. Cloud is essentially amortizing and centralizing hardware usage as the typical laptop or desktop is idle like over 90% the time and could easily be shared. Latency is constantly getting better and is “good enough” for desktop use already. Microsoft’s enterprise customers whom want the office suite (most of them) shell out monthly subscriptions per user to use that software. And Google docs while decent for most new age companies, can’t fight the versatility of having offline applications instead of browser ones. Microsoft does this stuff for tue enterprise, consumers are a bit harder to crack.

Kadokawa is so much bigger than just gaming. They are a massive publisher of manga, light novels, and owns multiple anime studios. They also own light novel and manga publisher/translator J-Novel Club. Sony already owns animation studio Aniplex/CoverWorks and anime streaming site Crunchyroll (and Funimation, which they merged with it) This acquisition would be an effective monopoly on all IP Kadokawa owns, shutting down much of the competition in the anime/manga space

[@Montisaquadeis]

If Sony gets their hands on Kadokawa they will have control over the MAJORITY of Anime, Manga, and Light Novels in the west which is a BAD thing

[@Rainoffire]

According to some sources, it seems like Kadokawa went to Sony for help, as Korea's Kakao was gradually increasing shares. So they went to Sony before falling into the hands of Kakao.

I really wish that Linux developers had realised earlier that if they'd all worked together on ONE solid distro/kernel instead of muddying the field with hundreds of them, they could have actually properly rivaled Windows and MacOS by now - and had a huge rise in new users of late looking for an anti-AI operating system. Even in the corporate world, where they could have promoted their platform on the grounds that, unlike Windows, theirs isn't a massive corporate espionage risk with all that "AI in everything" actively scraping all documents and Excel spreadsheets etc and sending that data to Microsofts servers for "training".

[@techheck3358]

that would be antithetical to everything linux stands for - freedom. if youre looking for a corporatised version of linux, thats what macs are

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

@techheck3358 I'm not saying have NO alternative ones, but to actually be a PROPER rival to Apple and Microsoft which I'm sure the creator of Linux would like it to have been. And that's my point - we need an ALTERNATIVE to Mac, not just say "well just get a Mac hur-dur". We need that third legitimate option to stop the monopoly both Microsoft and Apple have - and they are monopolies both cos although there is cross-over, it's not as much as they like to pretend it is.

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

Imagine if instead of creating yet another bloody distro just to have a few different features, they instead ADDED those features to the single distro making it even better, have more options and more FREEDOM to use that single distro in different ways? Be so much better than barely scraping a 4% market share and having the nightmare of distro choice that will always put off the average computer user.

[@techheck3358]

@@DavidStruveDesigns Distros are created individually, by different people. Anyone can create a distro - just take the linux kernel and package it with the off-the-shelf software you want built in. Forcing distros to include certain software is not freedom - that is compelled speech. You could create a distro with alllll of the software available on it. im sure it exists already somewhere. but people wouldnt use it because its bloated. You could create a distro with all of the software easily available for download. that i know already exists - its the arch based distros, like arch, manjaro, endeavour. all developed by different people because those people want different things. arch users want the newest and the latest software, even if it may be buggy. manjaro users like a more stable system. endeavour users like having more software pre-installed. you say a 4% market share, but that isnt entirely true. linux is used on most servers, datacentres, and embedded computers. Thats precisely because of that freedom that linux provides.

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

@techheck3358 I do get your point, but it still would be easier for the rest of us that don't have a clue to just have one OS to use just like in the case of Windows or Mac. We don't have to choose between 100+ different versions of Windows or MacOs and that's what the majority likes. I'm talking about purely domestic market share, I'm well aware of the server and data side of Linux and it's much bigger share of THAT market. Like I said, in regard to being a VIABLE alternative to Windows or Mac, it will never happen with the current way Linux is treated because it's greatest strength IS it's greatest weakness when it comes to the vast majority of domestic computer users. Hence why it's been struggling to even get to a measly 4% market share despite the 30 years it's been around for.
