  • depends how the loans worked.
    I was assuming his majority shares of X (ex Twitter) collateral.
    And that that he could just go “yeah, go on, collect on your collateral, I don’t mind”, because it’s not worth anything anymore.

    But admittedly I have no Idea how the contracts were drawn up, if this is possible and if his other money would be available to collect on.











  • Rightly so, see this current Thread: Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud

    Windows 365 is a service that streams a full version of Windows to devices. So far, it’s been limited to just commercial customers, but Microsoft has been deeply integrating it into Windows 11 already. A future update will include Windows 365 Boot, which will enable Windows 11 devices to log directly in to a Cloud PC instance at boot instead of the local version of Windows.

    If Microsoft really wants to slowly kill “local windows”, Valve would be fucked if there is no way for gamers to game locally.
    It’ll be hard enough to compete with “performance on demand” anyway, at least until Microsoft pushes the pricing back up after luring everyone in.
    See Netflix, everyone loved it, no-one bought DVDs/BlueRays, and now everyone hates Netflix for raised prices, going after password-sharing, cancelling shows etc.
    I expect exactly the same with “cloud PCs”







  • you wouldn’t even relly need to find one consistent way, just identify the way servers do it, and have a list of supported methods.

    let’s say there are implenetations a,b,c, and d
    if let’s say google supported b,c and d, and apple b, and hotmal c and d, only hotmail-apple traffic would be unencrypted as they can’t agree on a common method.

    pretty sure that’s how TLS (i.e. https) works.
