Suckers bet, I’m not taking it.
Why make money if you can make MORE money?
This sounds a lot like we all talked the first time Trump won.
When will people learned to stop underestimating the stupidity of the American population? They can and will elect this fuck if given a shot.
We need to have ownership our own products again. This needs to be enshrined in law.
This can be handled a few different ways.
- You can boot from a HDD and then just not ever write data back to it. This would be the most trivial solution, and it's something people do with their Pi's a lot to avoid SD card failure.
- You could network boot, pull the OS from the network at startup. Fun fact, this is how some rockets fly! No onboard persistent storage needed. Everything boots into and runs from ram the whole 10 ish minutes of operation.
- You COULD do a ROM as you suggested, but that's a LOT of ROM. Seems odd to do imho.
Aye, but forcing them to put a clear "We support this until this date" label will make that a mandated part of their marketed.
That or, you know, force companies to release server software when they sunset support for their product. That would also be nice.
They are somewhat common-ish if you know where to look. I fly by one a lot!
No, it was a cult.
I don't think that user was personally complaining, more pointing out that LW might be facing it's first crisis of resources. Good sys-ops people don't come cheap, and bad one often can do far more harm than help.
It's tricky trying to handle something like this when LW is foundationally not an enterprise or anything close to a business.
I suspect their issue is more the exploitation of children, not them carrying a beer.
The vast majority of consumers don’t care. They look for a product which is in their budget, and they think does what they want.
The market will select for companies which and most profitable.
The best thing to do is to pass laws that make this practice of enshitification illegal.
