I am guessing that the next version of Windows will require a valid credit card number while being set up. That way Copilot can purchase and install other Microsoft products for you automatically in order to complete tasks it thinks you assigned it. Your acceptance of the EULA will be all the justification they need.

BoloMKXXVIII@piefed.socialto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Americans with six-figure incomes are in 'survival mode'English70·5 months agoI used to make low 6 figures. Work owned me. I had to be reachable nights, weekends, holidays, vacations. 50 hour weeks were slow weeks. I finally walked away. Money is no good if you don’t have time to enjoy it. I make half of what I used to make but am much happier. I actually get to spend time with my wife, hobbies, and friends.

BoloMKXXVIII@piefed.socialto Global News@lemmy.zip•U.S. tourism faces $5.7B US loss as Canadians continue to stay homeEnglish24·5 months agoI was born in the US, just like my father, am white and male, and am still concerned about Trump’s Gestapo. I keep voting against him and anyone associated with him but there are too many pedo-felon-fascist worshipers. I just hope some day they wake up.
BoloMKXXVIII@piefed.socialto Linux@lemmy.world•What distro should I use to revive this cutie over here?English6·5 months agoDoesn’t Tiny Core load into RAM? With 512 MB that could be a problem. There are many versions of Puppy Linux. I think they load into RAM also. I would try MX Linux and see if that worked. Expanding the amount of RAM would be helpful, but it is not worth spending money on that machine. I bought a functioning Fujitsu laptop with a 6th gen Core i5 Processor and 8 GB RAM for $80 on Ebay. Computers with a 7th gen Intel Core Processor or older won’t officially run Windows 11 so they are selling for cheap these days, if you shop around.

BoloMKXXVIII@piefed.socialto News@lemmy.world•Trump doesn’t rule out an unconstitutional third term run: ‘I would love to do it’English301·6 months agoThat assumes he will still be alive. Regardless of what his propaganda minister states, Trump is not healthy. He will be 82 by the next election. I would be more concerned about who the MAGA faithful try to get elected after the great pumpkin.
