“look, Activision wasn’t cheap. We’ve gotta keep the lights on here”

I recently listened to the vergecast episode about all of MS’s recent announcements and was genuinely shocked to hear recall being compared to, more or less, the local caching that already happens while you use your computer (+ the normalized big tech tracking). My gut reaction was that that’s kind of an insane thing to think and I’m glad I’m being vindicated on that point.

I’m shocked I tell you! Shocked!

Isn’t the “trajectory” that these systems are incredibly unsustainable both economically and environmentally? I’d hope that a machine that uses a few thousand homes’ worth of energy to answer a single query would be more useful than “can generate boilerplate code for me” or whatever.

If they really have been working on it since it was teased a few years ago, then I have to assume it will just be Skyrim: Again (Again)

It’s a shame that it probably won’t even be that much of a visual improvement, if Starfield is any indication

The worst part about HP is that I already have one of their printers but don’t use it enough to justify replacing it 😔
