    Nowak got a reaction from bcredeur97 in Windows 11 - Update 22H2 - Here is everything you need to know - OUT NOW!!!   
    Jen Gentleman replied to me on Twitter and said that it seems my computer hit a safeguard, and linked me this. I'm not really sure what it means but apparently it'll be automatically lifted after some point.

    Pretty sure my laptop that shipped with Windows 11 isn't unsupported. In addition, it passes the PC Health Check... check.

    I don't understand why it's not letting me install 22H2.

    Nowak got a reaction from Origami Cactus in Lenovo Legion 5 Pro screen issue   
    They couldn't get me any proper support beyond telling me "just reset it lol" a day before I went to visit friends. I'd seek local support but there are no authorized Lenovo repair shops in my state or any nearby states apparently.
     
    It's very on/off, and I have no clue what triggers it. The other day it was working just fine, and I was using the internal display as a third monitor to watch DSU prog on Twitch. Then, I joined a Discord call and the backlight started flashing on and off.
     
    I don't get it.

    The only thing it does is force sex work underground, which increases sex trafficking and sexual slavery. Every single group who claims to be against sex trafficking and sexual exploitation is actually for it, because they see it as punishing people for expressing themselves in ways that their god doesn't approve. It's...

    Yeah, no, that's not what we're doing. We're calling out the BS of the worlds biggest vapourware salesman.
     
    Lets go through the list of how many "futurist" claims he has made and how many have actually happened...
     
    The Hyperloop by 2025 - ❌
    Mars by 2025 - ❌
    $100,000 ticket to Mars - ❌
    FSD by 2019 - ❌
    FSD by 2020 - ❌
    Robotaxis giving 100% ROI by 2020 - ❌
    Tesla Semi - ❌
    Cold gas jet propelled flying cars - ❌
    VTOL electric planes - ❌
    SolarCity being the "future of solar energy" - ❌
    The Loop - ❌ (Giving this an X because he promised 150mph automated FSD 12 seat vehicles and delivered non auto Tesla cars with human drivers)
    Reusable rockets are more cost effective - ❌ (the basic math says otherwise)
    Lowered the cost of per KG to LEO by a factor of 10 - ❌(Nasa are on record as saying Dragon & Crew Dragon cost them more than a Soyuz seat)
     
    Heck, even the stuff his engineers are doing is stuff that was already done years ago. Tesla > Moon buggy. Starship > Russian N1. Landing rocket boosters > Nasa were doing it in the 70s.
     
    I have a rule about Musk, if he promises something its nothing more than a CGI animation and if he ever says "I feel very confident ...." then its a straight up scam.
     
    He is nothing more than a market manipulator who is very good at running pump & dumps and Ponzi schemes.
     
    Also fun fact, he calls himself an engineer, technically he is breaching US federal law every time he does that. In the US engineers are REQUIRED to have passed certain exams before they can call themselves one, at Musks current education level he wouldn't even be allowed to take the entrance exam to sit the engineers course.
     
    Edit - gonna address this separately since I think its important...
    SpaceX is not profitable, Tesla is not profitable, nothing Musk has ever done has ended in profitability.
     
    SpaceX's market valuation (and Tesla's for that matter) is based on a hyper inflated share price that is no where near representative of its actual value. Its all based on pure speculation that this genius visionary is going to change the world, sooner or later everyone will realise he is full of shit and the market WILL correct itself.
     
    All he has to do is keep the BS running, keep speculation high and investment high and as far as the market is concerned, SpaceX are making money. The reality is all the money is coming from investors being sold a pipe dream that, in reality, is impossible. Its called a bubble and all bubbles burst eventually.
     
    In his recent trail over the Tesla buying SolarCity fiasco he essentially admitted that all his companies are running on the same pot of money, it only takes one of them to falter and his entire empire will come crashing down around him.
     
    Musks entire wealth is built on a foundation of lies, speculation and other peoples money.

    "Like Apple and Samsung, Google stayed mum on the fact that this move also helps them save some money. Surprise, surprise."

    They also won't mention how now charger makers will need to produce far more chargers for iPhones and Android devices, which means they'll use more cardboard, paper and more resources, and that these phones will end up in a landfill somewhere in a few years and have unrecyclable materials such as lithium ion batteries, offsetting any and all carbon footprint reduction by using less packaging materials for their phones to the point where it's almost nil. They can pretend to care about the environment all they want but it's all just empty posturing.
     
    But of course, any carbon footprint reduction is gonna be theater when 100 companies, mostly in the oil industry, output 71% of all emissions.

    Is this not obviously a man in spandex pretending to be a humanoid robot?
     
    Remember that Boston Dynamics has been working on robots like this for years and have been basically leading robotics the entire time, and even they can't produce anything like what Elon and Tesla are promising to deliver in a year. If anyone's full of shit, it's Elon.

    When they keep changing the used standards every time and keep bragging about fast charging speeds that likely aren't going to be achievable with older chargers, it's hard to think that these companies are actually trying to reduce e-waste and not just increasing their profit.
    This will end up going in the direction of buying a new charger every time, sellers are going to always try to push people to buy the new charger by saying they need it to get faster speeds, say that the old one is dangerous or will void their warranty or some other BS to sell more. I really doubt this will make any significant difference in the amount of chargers made.

    Someone already pointed it out but not everyone has USB-C chargers. Most of my devices now are USB-C so I have a few at home, but there's still millions more without any USB-C chargers or even devices with it. If they do own one device that charges over USB-C, it's likely a Nintendo Switch, and they can't just always keep the charger away from that, especially if they wanna play their games on the TV. Tech enthusiasts are just a minority in the grand scheme of things, and not everyone has like, 5 - 10 USB-C chargers, cables or devices laying around. So yes, they will need to bump up production of chargers since people who are gonna be buying their first USB-C device.
