I am I missing something but is the feature only on the newest ARM cpu that you can not even own yet.
Everyone is losing their minds over something that is not even in the wild and will not even work on any of the computers we own. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I keep checking to see if it's been installed via Windows Update, I'm on current versions and don't see this feature. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Logic pro is Apple, so that's a bad example. A few DAWs will run okay (not as good as Windows/MacOS) but the kicker is getting low enough latency on Linux in *any* DAW. Ubuntu Studio and the low latency kernel was still nowhere near good enough for tracking. It's just not viable for anything other than goofing off. Professional work, never. You'd be a fool to try it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

I think it's something like "security baseline package", but I don't know how one would go to acquire it or install it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Most people want their computer to just work. I'm the only IT guy in my family and I witness this regularly. Regular people get frustrated if ANYTHING is not entirely intuitive and/or requires two clicks more to get them where they want to go. Linux absolutely is not there.
I see this almost daily... You can build software that may be a marvel to behold under the hood, but if you feck up the usability for the average, non-specialist user, you're dead in the water.
A Mac would actually do fine for most people because it hides even more than Windows does (yes, I know about Terminal, but we're talking regular people, remember). But most people to whom a computer is a tool, not a way of life and expression of their personality won't spend the amount of money required for a Mac. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I finally made the switch to Linux this week. So, I guess that was my unintentional solution. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I’m pretty sure thats what i was thinking about. It looks more like a set of packages for mandatory access control and related zero trust security packages.

It’s the same with other apps resetting your preferences.
I noticed the other day that that LinkedIn app for windows has made a few changes since the last update.
The app now auto runs at start up and has granted itself access to the camera. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

> Where did I say it was terrible for everyone?
Well, the rest of us have been arguing about whether the average person could legitimately switch from Windows to Linux as a daily driver system. Sorry for thinking that you responding to someone in that discussion meant that you wanted to participate in that discussion. How foolish of me.
> So instead of making things up to get offended by, you could have just said you don't know how to solve my problem, or better yet you could have said nothing at all.
Me mocking your mostly irrelevant-to-the-discussion comment is not being offended.
This is not a tech support thread. We are not, at this particular moment, interested in solving your particular problem. There are plenty of subreddits and other forums that do cater to that, which you should be aware considering you've said you've been to one. This is a discussion about the viability of using Linux as a replacement for Windows, so that people don't have to deal with privacy-invading BS like Windows logging and storing screenshots of everything you do, and how a large number of Windows users could make the switch with little effort or alteration to their daily lives.
The problem with people making the switch is that most people who COULD easily switch don't know that there IS an alternative. It's not available on a machine they could pick up at their local computer shop (or it can be done but only at special request). Some of them still link Linux is where it was 20 years ago, where you kinda did need to be a bit of a hacker to install it and get things running properly. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I'd wager you're grossly underestimating the number of computer users who do little else but use web browsers, email clients, word processors/spreasheets, and some basic games, or use web-based equivalents. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
It's pretty obvious this is the case at least 95% of the time. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
> So your solution to the problem is to get another distro?
To troubleshoot, yes, and in general, yes.
> This seems like it would be the nuclear option on any other non-Linux OS
You wouldn't install LTSC Windows and expect updates from newer builds either. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Oh shit I’ve just realized I’ve got a Dell Latitude 9450 for eval and I’ve just built it with W1123H2 + May patches. This has an NPU and even a copilot key on the keyboard.

You're missing the point.
Of course a bicycle isn't as powerful as a motorbike isn't as powerful as the car, but if people suddenly stop buying cars and go for the bicycles, bikes or even just walking more solely because the car manufacturers have gone way too far, then perhaps the car manufacturers might start to panic and actually listen to your demands so you can all drive fancy BMWs again with no more dumb subscription fees.
Temporary pain for long term gain, take that analogy and apply it to Windows and angry mobs.
It might start with angry gamers (seems like it might), it might start with angry privacy aware folk (x to doubt), it might start through a joke, maybe it starts from corporate cost cutting. There is a threshold for tolerance, eventually some group will flip and kick off the trend to just try to cut Windows for literally anything else.
Recall is clearly bad for everyone. Every Windows customer should send a message to m$, one way or another. Failure only results in leaked passwords to everyone's bank accounts, no big deal right? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-06-06 |

Exactly one year ago UK spot price was 79 GBP. Now 73 GBP.
Spot prices fluctuate by a lot. On April 8th the price was 52 GBP and in 2022 we hit 580 GBP.

That’s how it was with Pandora back in the day but then everything moved to Spotify. Initial friction sucks but it’ll be easy enough to change if there’s a good alternative product. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Tidal is a decade old. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
This is capitalism. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
It’s called paying for albums like we have been doing since the beginning. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
To me, $11.99 is still an absolute steal.
$11.99 a month for more music than I could listen to in ten lifetimes, lots of exposure to music I would have never listened to before, being able to make tons of different playlists, access to tons of good podcasts, and collaborative listening where multiple people can be the DJ? Inject it into my veins.
I’ve always said that Spotify will be the last subscription that I cancel, mostly because I use it SO much. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
It’s not just profit. It’s increased profits. It’s not enough for a company to make astronomical profits each year, they need to increase upon it each year too. That’s where people’s anger comes in. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Just switched to Qobuz. Loving it so far. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Yet people on here will jump and take a bullet for them if you bring up how Tidal is better. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
You have to really be active with it for a minute. Like and disliking stuff as much as possible | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Why? I like the selection/diversity compared to when I used to have to rely on radio or purchasing whole albums. I want something in between radio and buying albums and I’m willing to pay a nominal fee for the service AND I want an innovative entity to do it better than Spotify. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
So basically no real reason got it! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Likely a benefit of some other subscription like cell phone service or something. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
The business models of streaming platforms don’t work. That was the point. Netflix, Spotify etc used VC and IPO/market money in order to destroy existing business model, capture a market, and now have very defensible moats and pricing power.
The only way to make them change is to stop using their service, but good luck getting the broader public on board with that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
A lot of folks used to just listen to the radio and not pay for anything. So, no, I don’t want to pay for albums like in the old days. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I canceled once they decided to pay Joe Rogan $$$ and haven't looked back. To me, Spotify is an epitome of the enshittification of Big Tech - not just the product, but also the company.
Pandora and Apple Music have been pretty good substitutes for me personally. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
The price has gone up $2 in the last 15 years. I can't really hate too much on that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I just transferred my Spotify playlist to Apple Music. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
My mistake, I've never heard mention of it until very recently so I assumed it was only a couple years old at most.
I'm still willing to give it a shot regardless ;) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Spotify has an unsustainable model, unlike streaming services like Netflix. Spotify will eventually fall if it doesn’t renegotiate with record labels. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

The UI is quite horrible. Always has been. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Yeah they do and I agree they're like the underground or something. I think streaming is kind of secondary for them. They're about purchasing albums directly from bands. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Millions of products sold at a loss is, unsurprisingly, still a loss.
Ever considered that it's very difficult for companies to provide these products for cheap in the long term, when they only get to keep like 25% of their revenue? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
It's mostly because investors are in it for the short squeeze, specifically. They just want money to go up - if they don't go up, they pull the money to go somewhere else.
These investors are _not_ rational actors. They are doing the flat 'did I make as much money as I could have' analysis.
When the business folds, they take that same money, put it somewhere else, and repeat the process. By doing this, they _always_ get their highest money return, which is all they care about. They have a secure and steady set of returns because they move from corpse to corpse with no penalty. Which means longevity is irrelevant to them. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

oh i know. ultimately that means that streams are unequal. a million streams for one lesser known artist is absolutely not the same as a million for taylor. she's getting 1:1 on those streams while the rest of us are lucky to get a fraction. $.000001 for a stream is horseshit.
spotify has no product without artists. the fact they've been able to exploit that is a fucking travesty. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Spotify is still an absolute STEAL on a family plan. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
There’s really no reason to hate Spotify. People just gotta hate everything these days. These price increases are the first ones in like over a decade. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
1. Labels earn the vast majority of the money Spotify pays out. Labels then pay out to the songwriters, producers, performers, and collaborators. Labels keep the majority of the pie, and use a small bit of it to payout the people who actually make the music. If you are independent and make the music yourself, you will be paid fairly.
2. They are a business that wants to attract as many people to the platform. Taylor Swift and Joe Rogan are insanely popular, if not the most popular in their respective categories. If they didn't lure them in with exclusivity deals, someone else would have. With more people on their platform, they can make more revenue that they pool towards the artist pool. So in actuality, Spotify is making a move that benefits both parties.
3. Objectively bad software? In what way? They still support a desktop app, a browser version, and their mobile app. All of them work well and maintain all the features. They constantly update the app with new features (like Jams, AI dj, lyrics) and have the best playlist curation and discovery algorithm in the game. They don't support hifi streaming which does suck for some audiophiles but the vast majority wouldn't be able to tell the difference. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Love seeing all the hate for spotify truly, but I've come to the realization that the damage spotify has done to the music industry (for the artists themselves) cannot be undone or fixed by spotify or any streaming giant, or by another streaming service taking the throne from them. The value of music itself has been so diminished by having nearly the entire worlds discography just a few clicks away and as much as we as consumers want streaming to work, it will never be sustainable for the artists as it is. We can sit here and complain on the internet that spotify is unfair and greedy, but the majority of us still do all of our listening through streaming exclusively, which just continues to devalue music/art and make the system less profitable for artists. If we (artists) want our art to be valued, we need to start putting the value there ourselves and encouraging others to do the same. Go buy an album on bandcamp or a record from your favorite artist's website, you can keep streaming on Spotify if you want, but show the market that you still value the purchase of music/art. We already pay for the things we enjoy and if you truly enjoy music and want to see the industry in a better place than it is, it should be easy to justify those costs. It's not going to be on Spotify, it's going to have to be on us to make the change | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I like the service. In the 80’s would buy 3-4 CDs a week. Adjusted for inflation Thats around $80 a month. And I could still only listen to music I owned physically. Spotify is cheap. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I wouldn't say that, I recently moved to YouTube music and the playlist generation has been awesome for me, the fact I can tell it to adjust a playlist to either stick to the artists in it or expand beyond them, and then adjust if I want to stick to the songs in the playlist or hear others from the same artist spread through the playlist is pretty cool. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
