  Microsoft has to compete with other cloud providers on security. Unlike Boeing who has no domestic competition. Any of Google, Amazon, or Oracle would love to find out that Microsoft is decrypting user data to sell to partners because they would be screaming to the high heavens that O365/Azure is insecure and enterprises must switch to their solutions. SaaS/IaaS subscriptions are much more profitable than selling user data, there is a near 0 chance that Microsoft is improperly handling enterprise data (on purpose)

  Leslie Nielson is dead so the only reboot with regards to the naked gun should be a boot re-entering the ass of whoever had this idea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming Ads Are So Much Worse Than Traditional Ad Breaks | MZS | Roger Ebert⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats not exactly good news, it’s still a cat and mouse game but thankfully the ad block devs are more motivated than the streaming providers currently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which shows do you think ended too soon, or went on too long?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That really is an unpopular opinion so I respect you for sharing it. I think it might miss the mark a little bit. The point of Michael Scott is that he is the idiot boss, he is supposed to be a cringy asshole, and a way for the rest of the cast to have something in common with the audience (everyone has had a crappy boss). Essentially an American equivalent of the UK’s David Brent.

  In season 2, they had to rework his character into not quite a lovable idiot but someone who was promoted above their competence level. The show couldn’t work with American audiences otherwise. You still aren’t supposed to root for him as much as feel bad for him. Then they replaced him with completely irredeemable and unlikable characters. The Office without Michael was like what Parks and Rec would be without Ron.

  I know minions get a lot of hate online but for me, besides the heartfelt story of the first movie and Trey Parker’s performance in the third; the stupid slapstick humor of the minions are the only redeemable part of the series. I have young kids that watch these movies on repeat though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Kind of weekly thread] What have you been watching?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve started Ted lasso. So far season 1 has been better than season 2

  I use the same set up. It works great. The $5 bin at Walmart, garage sales, and good will are great places to find great deals. Although the latter two have way too many full screen cropped versions. Why we ever decided pan and scan was preferable to black bar widescreen is beyond me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Back in my day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No kids these days still have that. It’s just some random film available on streaming. I’ve watched so much Trolls. Please send help, my kids won’t stop watching

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  GTA V’s single player was worth $60 even if it never got any DLC. I don’t touch GTA online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The PC version will come out with the PS6/Xbox whatever ports come out. Rockstar has figured out exactly how to milk the most sales out of their games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peter Griffin and Solid Snake are coming to Fortnite Chapter 5 amid leaks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I have decided to only play my retro backlog and just the absolute masterpiece single player modern experiences for the rest of my life.

  Live service games do not interest me at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What moment from a video game made you cry?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  After everything you do in the game to get Abigail and Jack back, and to see John get to be happy and enjoy his ranch in the final act to it being tragically cut short. I know a lot of people don’t like playing as John in the RDR2 epilogue but I felt like it gave me needed closure from Red Dead Redemption

  I guess that’s why Hank Hill had Bobby and not a daughter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation Portal review: impressive hardware but is Remote Play itself good enough?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It can’t even stream from PSNow it’s just for remote play lol
