We have a similar mix, though I was referring to the underlying virtualisation providing their cloud hosting.

Azure runs on windows. Hosts run a modified version of Hyper-V.

At least, they did last I checked.

What we wanted: Alpha Centauri 2

What we got: Civilisation in a $2 shop Halloween costume.

The solution is to just buy a cheap Brother mono laser printer.

I just mix a buttload of chili powder into the pizza sauce when I make them

And if each did cost them money - they’ve been paid when the stupid thing was purchased!

I didn’t care for Last Kiss, but I did like that they released it for charity and made $10 million for Kosovo refugees.

They were relatively quick to pull the 1.13GHz Pentium III from the market when it turned out to have stability issues from pushing Coppermine too far.

Much heavier than petrol cars if they’re not on a bespoke EV platform or designed poorly. Slightly heavier than petrol cars if they’re designed properly.

AppleTV+, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+

Or:

YouTube but without ads

You’d probably like Prodeus, it’s certainly scratched that itch for me.

I threw Ubuntu 24.04 in a VM it’s been a few years since I’ve used it.

I was unpleasantly surprised.

I have a nasty feeling it’s going to be like Halo without Marty O’Donnell - bland music that is completely and utterly forgettable.

I’ve been with Tidal since. I miss the Spotify recommendation algorithm but that’s it.

Two to three times what Spotify pay artists per stream.

I tried Ubuntu again recently for the first time in years.

Between Snaps and having to create an account to get security updates, I quickly gave up on it.

iPhone has enormous market dominance in the US and no sideloading.
