So MSoft's plan to fix Windows is to go back and remove all the crap they've added to it for years? I'd love to believe it but, being the current MSoft, I have many doubts about what do they consider "bloat" and what is "essential" to the Windows experience they want to create.

Zuckerberg's Meta will beam sunlight from space to power AI data centers, solar-collecting satellites will orbit 22,000 miles above Earth — firm reserves 1 Gigawatt of orbital solar energy and 100 Gigawatt-hours of long-duration storage

Hey, remember when crazy people had delusions about space lasers owned by Jews and we laughed at them? Well...

(Just to be clear, I know it's not like that, but I couldn't let the joke go by. Besides, it starts this way, but who knows how it will end.)

I am no scientist but it feels like having satellites continuously reflecting the suns rays towards the earth will have awful environmental impact, especially at the ozone layer. I really hope people asked the right questions before implementing such crazyness lol

Yeah, there are a lot of questions about how that would work that are way above most of our heads, myself included.

I'm not really sure the ozone layer is the biggest problem, or if things like how it could affect migratory species if they cross the "ray" are a bigger thread.

I guess we'll find out soon enough when people start complaining about it and making campaigns against Meta deploying it.
