The numbers are frankly meaningless... as long as Microsoft supports Windows 10, it will of course have it's userbase.
Once Microsoft stops supporting Windows 10, then they'll have to choose to run unsupported, upgrade to 11 or replace the OS.
When that time comes, we'll of course see Windows 11 be the leader...
Microsoft controls the numbers, so they don't mean anything.
Carry on! ^ ^
"...documents from USAID showing the agency paid $1,500 per Starlink terminal, while the standard price for consumers is $600 for the kit, and $110 per month for service.
So... USAID has paid for terminal and some 8 months service fee for their 1500 stations. Excellent. Though I wonder why they accepted to pay over market price?
Anyway...
We order another 15000 terminals (or whatever the requested number was) and include let's say a year service for each plus for the ones delivered.
Struggling with the math, but isn't it 15000x600 + (15000+1500)x110x12 = $30.780.000 ???
That's peanuts! ...but where the heck does the $400.000.000 come in?
Please enlighten me, or is that the price when we talk charity?
Hope deal goes through so we finally can spread "free speach"!
Then Musk, Trump, Waters and Putin more quickly can solve this world's problems...

A spokesperson for the actor told the BBC that he had "no partnership or agreement" with the company.

Deepcake fake...
I don't code anymore, but my tiny distro now has two rust compilers. For Mozilla products, fwim...
One user comment
"That Mozilla's two most popular applications target different versions of Rust is telling. One would expect an organisation of their size to have standards to cover which version may be used in production code."
And dev commenting on this...
"Also, this demonstrates that Rust has something of a backward compatibility issue, making it a poor choice to develop in.
The name seems fitting, as Rust code quickly develops bitrot. I can't wait until we need to keep a third version of the Rust compiler on hand for the kernel."
Except for certainly not liking this, what do I know... ^ ^
“The conduct outlined by the SEC is contrary to our core values and clear policies, and if we identify such behavior, we will take appropriate action.”
Like getting better to hide it better?
Sometimes I wonder how those specially bred yada-yada spokespersons sleeps at night. No bad taste in mouth?
Panic before closing time?
Cisco... said it would "potentially have an adverse impact on our business."
I'm sure it will (roll eyes), but the day with enforced global wide transperency is getting closer. Those moving billions from place to place without paying tax anywhere will be stopped...

No one's forcing you to install or run Chrome on your non-ChromeOS desktop, for instance, so we surely must do it under our own free will.
This!
Using a #/%& stupid Android tablet, a Windows pc and a Linux laptop and absolutely nothing prevents me from installing and using Firefox on any of them. *)
It's my deliberately choice not to and no matter what Mozilla say or how much they wriggle or moan, there's no chance I'll ever use Firefox.
Sorry. But have spent too much time digging old archives and do not like, what I've seen. Plus that stupid bookmark handling....
There are other reasons besides Google, Apple, Microsoft etc that Firefox have such a small user base...
*) using #%&# stupid Chrome on stupid android, Vivaldi on both laptop and pc, btw.
Phoronix had a bit last week, here https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-LPC2022-io_uring_spawn
Includes John Tripplett's presentation and a pdf slide deck...
I belong in the group "Most people don't know the first thing about Linux under the hood but nevertheless enjoy following the devs work through the kernel changelogs as well as the public mail lists.
A privilege I did not had for my past +30 years with Microsoft... two very, very different worlds.
Ellison said at the time [1:15 onward]: "It is a combination of real-time looking at all of their social activity, real-time looking at where they are including, micro-locations..."
Yes, yes, but what about health data? Not included?
Ah, they're in the planning...
Oracle is planning to build a national database of individuals' health records for the whole United States following its $28.3 billion acquisition of electronic health records specialist Cerner.
