The point is that is was included in Windows.

Already enterprise approved on the MS stack.

I know HN is all startups with macbooks on local admin, but in bigger companies even devs cannot just install whatever they want.

WiFi is always a compromise. Wife factor maybe, but for now, cable.

Modern LED lights really draw no power at all in the grand scheme of things

Yes but LED lights need to be connected to some electricity source, which is inconvenient in some scenarios.

They’re pretty incredible, 200+ lumens per watt for LED lighting vs 16 lumens per watt for incandescent, 12.5x more efficient. Commercial LED fixtures have rated lifetimes of 50,000+ hours.

The residual problem as ever being the rebound effect, AKA Jevons paradox. Let's hope that humans find a way not to want everything 12.5x brighter.

The pain experienced by looking at bright source of light seems to be fairly effective?

I guess it's unlikely to be 12x, but people probably do consume more light, by way of being less worried about switching them off.

Have you seen modern car headlights?

I try not to, on account of the pain.

Who are you and what is this about?

Who am I? Given that I've been reported as dead, that's a good question...

Is burning man still the hot cool rich tech thing or have you people moved on?

I think the next upswing will be forests, lakes and such.

Where?

I feel like logos are 100% done now.

The best clothes here in Sweden, from our own Swedish brands, have no logos. And have not been for a long time. Scandinavian minimalism and quality is the best.

Asia is the one obsessed with brands. Europe is not. We care about quality.

But quality is strongly associated with brand. Showing off the logo might be taboo, but everyone can tell the difference between an IKEA kitchen and a Funkiskök.

Yes, but one is obviously better than the other.

I actually like this as someone with a big logo gucci bag is easy to frame right away as a terrible human.

>Setting up custom email filters is beyond the capabilities of most students?

Yes. And most of the general population. They can do it once they know it exists, most people just are not aware it is a thing at all.

>What are they learning?

Here, their "major" as you say in the US. Someone in econ, biology or even CS is not going to learn Outlook rules. Maybe IT or business will have a sentence on it.

>Where will they be qualified to work?

Any office job. Any job really.

Do they? I've not seen that.

Hasan & Mandani is bigger than ever

communism means taking everything from regular people to give to the elite.

Funnily enough capitalism is trying to do the exact same thing!

I guess communism was more efficient at doing it!

(bit tongue in cheek of course - I guess capitalism is better at pretending/leaving enough scraps for the masses so they don't notice as much)

Capitalism is just really good at telling people the reason they are poor is because they just don't work as hard as the elites

Yet people want to live in capitalist countries the most. Curious.

what other options do you have?

capitalism can work with say 99% tax on estate on death. No trust funds. Tax on wealth above a certain point. Rule of law with sharp teeth. Proper investment in education. Proper anti monopoly so all large corporations gets broken up to avoid their power consolidation...

communism is dictatorship in disguise.

then you have old style feudalism with aristocracy.

anything else?

What are the top countries to live in the world?

you tell me

western/nordic europe, japan, singapore, usa, canada

All capitalist.

Source?

Or are you merely arguing that it means that in practice?

I‘m sure if people want communism, they want the idealistic version.

>I‘m sure if people want communism, they want the idealistic version.

That is what I mean. They don't want to live like the Soviets or Venezuelans or Cubans. They have a madeup idealistic version that is not real, never was and never will.

what do you think?

now ask yourself, who are the true communists in the US?

I think the algorithms have determined that you'll engage with videos about people who want communism.

Hasan & Mandani is bigger than ever

I think the algorithms have categorized so correctly, my green-named friend.

Because communism isn't synonymous with marxist-leninism. And even as a leninist, the USSR had several problems that aren't inherent to leninism. The entire way they managed the economy completely ignored the material conditions of the country and attempted to brute force a jump to communism by bypassing both capitalism and socialism to different extents. That's why china started working after Deng, the party realised that the productive elements of capitalism can be useful in building socialism when there wasn't the creation of excess by capitalism as assumed by marx

"Soviet was not real communism because bla bla"

The best is when you guys say you want to be like Scandinavia. None of us are communist, we are a market economy like you.

The soviet union objectively wasn't communism though, they didn't claim they were either. They had the goal of developing communism, but failed

Even if we accept that, the millions dead and incalculable human suffering incurred by the attempts is more than reason enough to stop trying.

There was no greater cause of human suffering in the 20th century than the worldwide attempts to build communist governments.

Those are all either massively exaggerated, coincidental, or are painful side effects of revolution

If we stopped trying to build capitalism for the same reasons we'd all still be serfs

I don't know, trying to stop communism also accounts for a lot of human suffering

Honestly, this forum expects you to differentiate between socialism, communism, and the Soviet Union. Whatever your views might be.

Yes, that is what I mean.

The issue with communism is if it never happened for real you can imagine all sorts of good amazing things from it with 0 pushback. Look atleast at the states calming to be communist. Would you rather live in Soviet or Western Europe? Ask the balts and poles...

btw Sweden is not socialist

Why is that an issue? Would you like discourse to be less grounded in ideals? Or is it that these particular ideals are a harm disguised as benefit?

? Because then you can just make shit up to put it bluntly.

any idea anyones ever had comes down to that. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong, and sometimes they need to be refined

But we can see what the best systems already are... Where do people want to live?

> attempted to brute force a jump to communism by bypassing both capitalism

USSR had NEP for several years.

> and socialism

This is incorrect. USSR policy was to build socialism, and then, when it was declared to be successfully built, "developed socialism" in 1961.

> That's why china started working after Deng, the party realised that the productive elements of capitalism can be useful in building socialism

You mean they completely abandoned the whole idea? It it is 2026 and China still doesn't have some basic things like free healthcare or a state provided housing (things Soviet people enjoyed for most of USSR existence). In fact, looking at China objectively for a moment while ignoring how the ruling party calls itself it appears to me quite authoritarian capitalist state.

> wasn't the creation of excess by capitalism as assumed by marx

What? Owners of major enterprises in China enjoy exceptional luxury created as an "excess" from their businesses fueled by cheap 996 labor.

Overall, you might want to reconsider engaging in such discussion on this forum that is full of people born in actual Soviet Fucking Union.

> USSR had NEP for several years

they did, and it was good for them. Stalin ended up gutting it and it would end up shooting the country in the foot

>You mean they completely abandoned the whole idea?

I won't deny that they are authoritarian, I disagree with them on a lot of things regarding how they handle political freedom. They don't have free housing or healthcare, but the average person is doing fine. The healthcare isn't expensive and people can afford to "own" (they don't own it in the capitalist sense but own it in the "it's mine, I can do what I want, and don't have to worry about rent" way).

> What? Owners of major enterprises in China enjoy exceptional luxury created as an "excess" from their businesses fueled by cheap 996 labor.

I also won't deny that. It is a problem that the chinese government is currently trying to deal with. Meanwhile, the production of the goods they got rich on has built up chinas economy and created industrial capability that wouldn't exist otherwise. It's kinda hard to redistribute wealth when there isn't any to redistribute, which is ultimately (when combined with other factors) why the USSR failed

>Overall, you might want to reconsider engaging in such discussion on this forum that is full of people born in actual Soviet Fucking Union. Although it is kinda entertaining reading champagne socialist opinions of western hipsters fancying themselves left-wing (because they read couple of pages of wikipedia and voted for Bernie, who upon returning from his getting-drunk-in-a-sauna-with-party-aparatchiks trip to Soviet Union in 88 was telling you how good of a country it was when Soviet Union was actually completely falling apart by then).

again, I'm not denying your gripes with the soviet union. It was objectively falling apart and was managed very poorly. I dislike your categorization of me as a "champagne socialist" who "voted for bernie and read wikipedia" as those are both objectively incorrect (aside from the wikipedia bit, as it is where I started unraveling my misconceptions about marx and socialism before moving on to actual theory). I didn't vote for bernie and while his reforms are undoubtedly good for the working class, it's putting a bandaid on the gaping gunshot wound that is capitalism. I'm also not a champagne socialist, I don't have a lot of money and don't really like champagne anyway

I run Windows 11 on my gaming PC powerful desktop and a good work laptop. No issues.

No idea what you guys are doing.

I can also now run and install over cmd powershlle with choco, scoop and winget.

Get Firefox, VLC, MPV and all that.

Get Powertoys.

Run Christitustech utlity for tweaks.

So even less usage for Linux imo.

> No idea what you guys are doing.

A friend of mine has been running the same Arch install since 2009. Does this mean Linux is problem-free and people who struggle with it are doing something wrong? No, it doesn't. Same with Windows.
