The business is basically thirds last I looked. Windows, Office and Azure. Not sure how their purchase of platform companies they shouldn't have been allowed to buy plays into that. Thinking LinkedIn and GitHub.

It will be if your using MS tech for it. They will pull the plug on that too. Just not yet, it's quieter to do it separately later. On it's on disks you control in formats you can play with anything you like, its never yours.

always after the ever elusive profit margin. can't have a product that lives forever became there's no more profit after the market has been saturated. they then take all the IP they have and either license the technology or sell it for a profit or loss depending on what is needed. doesn't matter though, because the consumer always loses.

Sounds reasonable. The time and energy ive lost on trying very confident chat gpt suggestions that doesnt work must be weeks at this point. Sometimes its very good though and really helps, which is why its so frustrating. You never know if its going to work before you go through the process. It has changed how me and coworkers work now also. We just talk to chat gpt instead of even trying to look something up in the docs and trying to understand it. Too slow to do that now, it feels like. There is a pressure to solve anything quickly now that chat gpt exists.

Could be. I've also seen similar delusions in people with syphilis that went un- or under-treated.

Any level of UI element transparency is hard nope from me. Based on your screenshot, it looks like Apple was listening, on that front.

My big problem is banks and satnav. SatNav need traffic info and there is none, so their routes are bad. Banks require apps to even use their website for "secure codes". Those apps try to detect ROMs and refuse to run, not even really being Android is going to make passing that harder. Let alone random things like parking apps where the app is the only way to pay. This is a political problem as much as technical. Competition is basically dead. We need government to step in and make competition possible. But they are in big tech's pocket and the status quo suits them too. Voters either don't care or believe what big tech says. It's a mess.
