Yes our employees tweak and modify the algorithm. Despite 95% of them being leftists there is no bias trust us. We care about the little guy and average person.
Muh algorithm is maybe the greatest motte of the 21st century.
Maybe they'll succeed at making an AI that makes riddler memes
Of course they did. They want a Technocracy. What better way to push that then to prop up who will effectively be a puppet president?
let them waste their money
It always was.
For all their monopolizing bullshit and fucking over other businesses, Microsoft never fucked over their end users.
My windows installation that prevents me from deleting certain files, even as admin, tells me otherwise.
Even Microsoft doesn't know how to delete those files. It's not authoritarianism, so much as NTFS's byzantine access control lists.
You know what's very telling? A recent windows 10 update includes the MS browser and prevents you from uninstalling it. This was the sort of shit that got them trustbusted a couple decades ago. Why in the world would they invite that kind of government scrutiny again?
Easy: because it would be retarded to bust MS for this monopolistic behavior when Google and Facebook exist.
The initial versions of Windows activation in XP fucked over a fair number of people. Unlike activation now where the system still runs but puts a watermark on the screen, XP would lock you out of the system entirely after a certain period of time. Sometimes it would "lose" activation after some time and lock you out. And if you reinstalled Windows a few times on the same computer you might have to call their support people to have them reset something in the activation server.
Sounds a bit innocuous now in the era where this stuff is a lot more common, but back in the day it was pretty unusual for consumer-grade software to require that level of intrusion simply to license the product. That was the sort of thing you'd expect your $20,000 CAD software to do, not your $100 OS.
It took them a long time to get to the point they are today where not activating Windows is a minor annoyance at worst (most of my Windows installs I use for work I don't even bother activating even though i have valid licenses through MSDN)
Microsoft of yesteryear, maybe. Microsoft of right now is a mess
They have just not as much.
