The Windows ecosystem typically deployed in corporate PCs or workstations is often insecure, slow, and poorly implemented, resulting in ongoing issues visible to everyone. Examples include problems with malware, ransomware, and Windows botnets.

In corporate environments, IT staff struggle to contain these issues using antivirus software, firewalls, and proxies. These security measures often slow down PCs significantly, even on recent multi-core systems that should be responsive.

Microsoft is responsible for providing an operating system that is inherently insecure and vulnerable. They have prioritized user lock-in, dark patterns, and ease of use over security.

Apple has done a much better job with macOS in terms of security and performance.

The corporate world is now divided into two categories: 1. Software-savvy companies that run on Linux or BSD variants, occasionally providing macOS to their employees. These include companies like Google, Amazon, Netflix, and many others. 2. Companies that are not software-focused, as it's not their primary business. These organizations are left with Microsoft's offerings, paying for licenses and dealing with slow and insecure software.

The main advantage of Microsoft's products is the Office suite: Excel, Word and Powerpoint but even Word is actually mediocre.

EDIT: improve expression and fix errors:

I have a Lenovo X13 Gen 2 with a 16 thread Ryzen 5850U and 32GB of RAM. It’s about the most powerful you can get while still having a power efficient CPU under load. I spend all day compiling with all cores and battery is still around 8-9 hours with a 90% charging cap set in the bios to preserve battery longevity.

Linux works great on the AMD chipset but I had to replace the Wi-Fi card with an Intel AX220.

After buying the aftermarket Wi-Fi card and 2TB SSD, I spent about $1200. Build quality and dimensions are comparable but a little worse than the Carbon imo.

x13 amd is just about perfect. linux or ltsc both work.

Nothing says secure like proprietary code maintained by some guy's privately owned limited liability corporation with 20 wageslaves labouring for him.

The best kind of antivirus is the one that stays quiet unless you specifically ask it to scan a file. Did someone say Clam AV just now?
Darvon · 4 years ago
Why did you download an executable that you don't trust? Don't even scan it, just delete it and go find one you do trust.

Darvon commented on Toronto committee calls for ban on robots from sidewalks   cbc.ca/news/canada/toront... · Posted by u/neom

How do robots impede people with disabilities? People are just making up scenarios as an excuse to oppose something new and unfamiliar. This all strikes me as completely dishonest. If you want to avoid obstruction, just fine the owners of the robots when they obstruct the sidewalk.

If a wheelchair and a robot cross paths, the robot isn't trained to give way I assume.
