"Dear me. Just because I recently talked about Windows XP SP3's virtues and vices, some people seem to think I've turned away from my beloved Linux systems. Nope, I'm still a rock-solid Linux desktop user.
Can Linux be cracked? Sure, any system can be cracked. That's not the question. The question is: Which system is fundamentally more secure and easier to keep secure?" The winning answer by a mile is Linux, and that's why I'm sticking with it for my primary desktop."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Linux is that good ? I mean, i know it has some of the best applications out of all the OS's but I had no idea it was the best out of the bunch.
And it gets better constantly.
Linux is certainly rock solid as a webserver, but not so when it comes to graphical applications. It also has extremely high learning curve is highly unintuitive (for people brought up on Windows i.e. the rest of the world).
I was able to setup a webserver with IIS in 30 minutes without knowing anything about Windows Server 2003, but it took me 1-2 days to figure out Apache configuration files with Linux... I'm not even confident it is setup properly.
Linux is the best OS. It real time compared to Windows. Also way much harder to crack and it has way better memory management. In other words you can run many videos, play games, listen to music even burn a cd/dvd at the same time. Windows would crash no matter how much memory you install in the systems. This is why Apple uses OSX(Leopard). I am currently studying Operating Systems in my degree and Linux is just amazing. M$ likes to buy other software. Windows CE is probably M$ best OS to date. Anyway i will be creating my own Linux version for the class so wish me luck.
