My main concern with companies like Lenovo or Asus building such devices on Windows is support. I have more trust in Valve to do this right.

I mean the nice thing about the internet is that you can at least find videos documenting what the article claims. I mean sure… it could all just be propaganda. But somehow there is a little much of it from so many different sources.

Ich Wechsel sie auch mehr aus Hygiene statt Geruchsgründen.

But movie studios not owning their own cinemas is a very good thing. This used to be the case in the US and it was really really problematic for competition and the free market. That’s why this was introduced in the first place.

Does that mean that preventing direct sales of cars is a good thing as well?

This might hurt a little, but I don’t think most people today know who Prince is. I just know that he was a musician. That sentence is also a commonly used sentence in such scenarios, unrelated to one person.

Super easy. Especially since this is all under their control. So they could simply write those messages elsewhere if they wanted to. I’m not saying they do, but it’s technically possible and a walk in the park.

I would generally trust such a company to do it right. But that doesn’t save you when law enforcement and such get involved.

Yes you should. Because it’s not e2e encrypted then.

It’s also about the people though. Been living in the south for some time. Hard to talk to people, even harder to make friends, very rural for the most part. I even would describe a city like Stuttgart as rural. At work people approached me and said „hey you also aren’t from the south right? I noticed“ and were happy to have someone to chitchat with.

Just my own experience... I’m very happy to have made the decision to move away again.

Maybe it’s easy if one isn’t a German since there are kind of expat communities? I don’t know.

While it wasn’t entirely automatic they’ve showed ads for it in Instagram that easily fooled you into assuming, that the only way you can continue using Instagram was by creating a Threads Account.

No they didn't? My company just recently introduced it.

I just read about it in the news since I no longer use Teams. But having used it in the past and then have switched to a Slack+Zoom combination. My god. It's just on another level. Having two products that each focus on one thing and try to make it great kinda works.

Anecdotally Slack has it's fair share of issues once in a while. Zoom barely ever.

I'm unsure of many people know that StackOverflow also had enterprise offerings. Our company has their own StackOverflow instance with very specific content to our tech stacks.
