what the fuck is a "AI PC"?

They get to put a sticker on that inflates the value by $600, then fill it with spyware.

Microsoft is chasing VC money now?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Not VC, more like hedge funds and institutional investors. But yes, all public companies work primarily for higher share prices, and then everything else. I've experienced a public US company paying more than a million USD to save 300k just so they can put out good articles about themselves that they kept promises to shareholders.
