Kind of. If anybody signs up for that premium lite they’re fools.

For what it’s worth

“Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers,” says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. “We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time, but customers can be confident Windows 10 will remain up-to-date and power a variety of devices from PCs to phones to Surface Hub to HoloLens and Xbox. We look forward to a long future of Windows innovations.”

Current Lemmy will circlejerk about the end of any company or product with the smallest nudge.

Every slightly negative post above a certain threshold of views will have comments about abandoning whatever thing it’s about.

All good. I think we’re thinking of this from different aspects anyway. I’m thinking a company just subscribes as part of their office subscription and Microsoft is doing the heavy lifting of the cost and hardware. I don’t know how OpenAI makes money besides their little subscription.

(which you seem to do and keep on posting here)

I’ve only made the comment you’re replying to. I’m not whoever you’re thinking.

You keep mentioning cost, and in the grand scale of “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” there’s a large cost but for users, they’re just paying for a license from Microsoft to have copilot in their visual studio software or in M365 apps, etc.

So for helping with development, it’s really not that expensive for the users. Also, “they” make lots of ridiculous claims, and i don’t know who said it, but no developers in 5 years is a wild claim that no one should’ve thought was real.

Well, they did it just out in the open in some dusty warehouse. Comments I’ve read say that’s a pretty big deal.

Fair enough

Sure, but you know most people do not have to do what you just described.

That’s the meme

also not a fan of my search results being logged against me

What do you mean? That you have an account so your searches are “linked” to you?

It can, and it looks quite good. It doesn’t have the finger tracking that valve’s has but it still plays fine.

My Vizio has never done this.

Early or late, they’re hardly ever on time anymore. It also feels like they’re going the way of Google and starting to abandon projects.

So what happens to, for example, the HP reverb g2?

Normally sure, but maybe Microsoft shouldn’t have tried saying windows 10 was the last windows version, to then release a new version that a lot of people can’t even upgrade their current PCs to.

But that’s the only benefit of premium (on YouTube itself). I guess there are still YouTube originals but that kind of died as far as I can tell.

I remember they had a plan for around $55 where they promised no price increases ever. So instead what they do is create a “new” plan periodically. I went up to “magenta Max” because I wanted some of the features and now they’re doing “Go 5G”. They try to advertise “upgrade every year” but they’ve BEEN doing that since the “jump” program when I first signed up for them years ago.

Basically they create a new plan with minor changes to the specific details and claim it’s not a price change. They hadn’t been automatically changing people until this though.

To be fair, Someone that has “more orgasms than average” saying not to worry about it is like a rich guy saying money doesn’t buy happiness.
