    Cloudflare goes to war with Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI's bots, with blanket free tools to block all crawlers

    Honestly they had this coming. Glad to see Cloudflare's plan here. I think it's a great idea, it is good for their existing customers, and it will probably attract more customers for them. Well done. I think it's very important for ideas such this one to become products as quickly as possible: I...

    Ever put content on the web? Microsoft says that it's okay for them to steal it because it's 'freeware.

    Listen to Apple's mocking response to Microsoft's spectacular Windows Recall AI failure

    Microsoft's quest for short-term $$$ is doing long-term damage to Windows, Surface, Xbox, and beyond

    Teams costs 1/10th of Zoom, has 10 times more features (and users probably). Why are people here crying for dead (Windows Phone) or super-old (Skype) products is not so easy to understand. Must be this thing of being "passionate customers"... Just to be clear: I use Skype, and I find it much...

    Microsoft's quest for short-term $$$ is doing long-term damage to Windows, Surface, Xbox, and beyond

    On average, I think the arguments expressed by the post and several comments are beyond simplistic. What is worse is when one tries to defend a simplistic argument with random pieces of partial data aimed at looking smart. First, it's OK to disagree with anyone in principle, but I wonder what...
