>Why does it need Windows? Need? It doesn't. But it's under their same umbrella, and other handhelds are already running Windows. The thing is, if MS has a winning strategy here IF they could: * Streamline Windows, less bloat * No ads * Make a handheld friendly UI * Can run as a full PC, and dock it to local peripherals * Can be purchased on company funds and written off I've used Windows all my life. Do I want to learn a new OS? Not really. Am I going to switch to Apple? Fuck no. Am I going to switch to Linux? Maybe one day when they can make it parent-proof. Microsoft essentially has a monopoly. They can secure that future monopoly and open up new avenues of revenue. But that's only if only they don't nickel and dime us, and clutter our OPERATING SYSTEM to make our user experience worse. Right now, I'd rather buy a Steam Deck than a Windows-based hand-held. It's up to Microsoft to convince me with a carrot why they would be the better option.

I'm thinking subsidies are nearing the end. The 30% Xbox Store fees are also in jeopardy with the new EU and UK regulatory changes that may hit the landscape in the next several years so I'm wondering if they will try to prepare for that. Phil Spencer is even on record stating the subsidies are not expanding their market, but perhaps they will do it again for a portable.

They would need support for the semi custom silicon the Xbox SDK requires which is more of a partner question, and while they did the SQ chips, those were generally minimal in scope and all that intellectual property and knowledge might actually be owned by AMD for all we know. So while I can see how this might work, there would be a performance penalty by using those translation layers and an Xbox portable has little value in running Microsoft teams for 26 hours straight, people want to play games which renders a lot of that low power architecture useless. That die space for big/little cores would be better spent on performance related tech and providing the hardware accelerated support for their software API's (VRS, sampler feedback, decompression block etc) Then you add in the fact that if it did run windows you rule out playing all those native games without more translation layers, so the entire focus of the video game machine is lost, what's the point of having an Xbox hand held that can idle a long time if it's always running poorly through translation when you use it for gaming? Don't see this happening personally even though I did think about this initially.

Elon programmed a little 27 years ago. He was average by all accounts and was a shit executive who made dumb decisions like wanting to name everything X. There is a difference between being actually technical and being amateurish. Elon is an amateur who likes rockets, is the front man of a car company whose major design contribution is Tesla's biggest failure and whose entire fortune is based on a combo of government contracts and Tesla's over inflated stock. Elon is an amateur rich boy who likes tech things but is not technical. It's like saying Richard Brandon is technical. He's not. Elon is rich and can pay real technical people to do the work while he tweets all day.

It’s frankly astounding how you reduce Sam Altman and Elon Musk to mere “hype men.” Let’s dive into some facts and shred that naive perspective, shall we? Sam Altman didn’t just stroll into OpenAI to wave pom-poms. He co-founded Loopt, a location-based social networking app that was ahead of its time, and later as president of Y Combinator, he wasn’t just a figurehead. He transformed it into the ultimate startup launchpad, nurturing companies that now dominate their sectors. Under his leadership, OpenAI has catapulted the field of artificial intelligence forward with breakthroughs like GPT-3 and ChatGPT. These innovations are redefining entire industries from customer service to content creation. Calling these achievements the work of a “hype man” is not just ignorant—it’s laughable. Remember when OpenAI ousted Altman and nearly the entire staff threatened to resign? That’s the mark of a leader who is far from superficial. Elon Musk isn’t just some carnival barker with a knack for self-promotion. His technical brilliance has revolutionized multiple industries. At Tesla, he wasn’t merely the frontman; he played a crucial role in the design and engineering of their groundbreaking electric vehicles, pushing the envelope of battery technology and autonomous driving systems. SpaceX’s monumental achievements, including the development of reusable rockets and slashing the costs of space travel, stem from Musk’s direct involvement in rocket engineering. Let’s not gloss over his pivotal roles at Zip2 and PayPal, where he fundamentally altered the landscape of online services and payments. Neuralink’s cutting-edge brain-computer interfaces and The Boring Company’s innovations in tunneling further showcase his relentless drive and technical prowess across diverse fields. If you genuinely believe Altman and Musk are just about hype and investors, you’re either willfully blind or profoundly misinformed. Their groundbreaking innovations and exceptional technical mastery have left indelible marks on the tech industry and beyond. Your dismissive comments don’t diminish their colossal contributions; they merely spotlight your shallow understanding of what true impact and leadership entail in the tech world. Are they perfect or universally agreeable? No. But let’s not stoop to reductive and dismissive takes that only serve to expose a lack of nuanced understanding. Maybe try a bit harder next time, alright?

Whatever sub-wide sentiment youre imagining came from somewhere, likely from those mens actions. Not everything is some grand conspiracy, irrational dislike, and/or upvote farming.

Like all VC investors, Y Combinator takes risks by investing in early stage startups they believe have great potential. They provide money, guidance and opportunity to grow. Most of the startups would never get off the ground without that. Despite all of that Y Combinator usually loses its entire investment as most of the startups fail for one reason or another. VC funds rely on the few successes to provide outside returns and make up for all the other losses. Not sure why that is so bad. Y Combinator is a big reason why many of the successful companies of today exist - including Reddit.

Most companies are run like that and they are for the most part the biggest and moost influential companies.

Even Samsung, where unless you are Korean, you have no idea about the social politics of the families behind the company, nobody cares about them because they are not important, but the company itself and the people working at that company are doing great work for humanity. Even the "vision and creativitiy" of the founder or leader is just copied and pasted from the vision and creativity of the next hundred people in line at that company and of the people who have a passing interest in the field, they're all on the same page about most of it. When the founder gets shown to be wrong they change their opinion too, so through error they get put in place to be made 'right', if you can even call it that. The vision and creativity isn't the missing piece that people make it out to be.

USB sticks in parking lot type BS. These are the people who talk about social engineering but then don't have a clue about the actual security problems they are creating themselves. My favourite (which still hasn't died) is password rotation. All that does is have people write their passwords on the bottom of their keyboards. The pattern I've witnessed with cyber security fools is they keep locking things down more and more "out of an abundance of caution" and "best practices" until the system is entirely unusable. Things like developers of pretty hardcore stuff not having root access to their own machines. Marketing people who can't access social media, and on and on. So people will start end running them entirely. Whole departments will have their own computers running their own email system, their own software bought by the department and not through IT. While they make a hash of some of this, their productivity goes way up. Then finally the company gets hacked; not because of the end run, but because their best practices are so common that they are entirely zero-day friendly. The managers who were running their own parallel IT then use this as an attack to just outsource the whole IT department and good riddance. I've seen this exact doom loop a number of times. I've participated in this doom loop. The best part is when the IT people start getting butthurt when the tech staff endrun them and they try to scream that this is a huge security hole. Except, one company where I was working had this very fight. Except the team which set up the entirely separate internet, computers, and software system was also responsible for developing IT systems for the military. IT had some trouble arguing that these were not "experts" at this. The only ones I hate more than the above are the pure scam artists who raise money for their HTML5 supercomputer as HTML5 is the main language used for programming supercomputers. https://www.teamblind.com/post/Trevor-Milton-SiaKUtRs The guy who said the last at least got a 4 year sentence. But, I've seen many dozens of equally scummy tech con-artists who not only avoided prison, but are doing well. They usually call themselves "serial entrepreneurs".
