“The Register asked Microsoft for more information on this mysterious "compatibility issue", but it has yet to respond. The leading theory on social media is that the problem might be something to do with different CPU architectures.”
No it’s because the code is written by AI. Prove me wrong.

- Bill Duff said the company is "saving hundreds of millions of dollars a year" by using AI for customer support and reducing the need for human interaction.
Wrong:!They’re actually increasing the need for human interaction because support and product quality is that poor now.

Subscription services should be funded purely by the cost of the subscription, trying to get advertising revenue out of paying customers is double-dipping and pure greed. Something here in the U.K. that SkyTV have managed to get away with for decades now.

Microsoft has lost its way. Nadella needs to instigate a total change of leadership in many of the business units and product teams. Quality is down, support is next to non-existent
nowadays, or is simply under resourced and unskilled.

Isn’t it about time Nadella started firing people or resigned himself, and some competent leadership was installed through the various head of business unit levels now? We’ve suffered Win11 bypassing InTune blocks, unwanted automatic WinSrvr25 upgrades, and of course Crowdstrike. Enough is enough.

Can’t disappear those foreigners who no longer want to travel to the USA like me, and nearly everyone I talk to. Canada will get my tourist dollar instead.

Can’t speak for any of Europe except U.K. Republic of Ireland, Malta and Cyprus, where we drive on the right side of the car, which is the primary reason we don’t take Left hooker American cars.

Feel for you, for me fortunately only my most recent pot is negative (2 years worth of employer/ee contributions). Older plans from the past 25 years are still much better than what was paid in and the effects of inflation, including the 9/11 and 2008 so don’t panic it’s a long game.
