Yes. Windows changed from a high-quality OS that was designed to help users run applications, to a low-quality OS that was designed to show users ads. The latter will never be good for consumers.

The EU protects the free speech rights of users from abuse from platforms, and US conservatives have argued that platforms should have similar regulations.

While what you're describing is the current legal reality in the US, This argument very much isn't settled.

Crowdstrike is far from the first company to ship bsod and bootloop bugs, they just happened to have the one that had the widest impact. Windows and it's ecosystem is buggy shit.

How about they don't? Open-source Linux, with contributions from gaming companies like valve, will always better for the consumer than a proprietary OS like Windows, that is designed by committee to show the most ads.

Linux is the new gaming os, Microsoft had too many Windows 8 moments.

But that nuance is probably limited to a paragraph or two of text. There's nothing the chatbot knows about the returns process at a specific company that isn't contained in that paragraph. The question is just whether that paragraph is shown directly to the user, or if it's filtered through an LLM first. The only thing I can think of is that chatbot might be able to rephrase things for confused users and help stop users from ignoring the instructions and going straight to human support.

Projectors can't compete with an OLED on picture quality. All of the good projectors run Android TV anyways...

How is a chatbot here better, faster, or more accurate than just a "return this" button on a web page? Chat bots like that take 10x the programming effort and actively make the user experience worse.

If you were playing videos with subtitles on android, you might have run into the slow subtitle burn in bug.

Just don't connect it to the internet. I play everything from an HTPC, LG gots zero data from me.

They already implement features to make it harder to sideload
