Have they tried giving Trump MORE Money to Fix this? Bribing Trump has WORKED out So Far!

Or maybe injecting even more AI into their products? People seem to looooove that.
Or maybe making an even shittier OS by firing more engineers, and replace them with terrible AI slop code?

The more they do all of the above, the more incentive that companies will have to support Linux desktop

GitHub is teetering on one 9 over an entire quarter. There are serious, systemic problems in Microsoft's shop.
Orygin@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 148d
Maybe their SLO is three 9: 89.99%

Where is this image from and what service? Super curious to share this but not getting the same metrics from gh status page.
disorderly@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 148d
It's the missing GitHub status page.

I searched using the name in the bottom-right, and he/she is a developer who created an open source tool to construct the graph from historical GitHub incidents. It's hosted here and the source is here

Maybe they could focus on delivering quality products that customers want, instead of investing all their time and effort into expensive AI widgets people don't.

First, "the market" overreacts about everything. Not surprising given that stock price volitility is mostly driven by speculation.
Second, who writes this crap? Anyone who thinks of Microsoft as an "AI stock" is clueless. The majority of Microsoft's revenue comes from "services", a big chunk of which is derived from subscriptions for Azure, Office 365, and other hosted solutions.
Microsoft has been racing to cram "AI" into as many areas as possible. Probably in an attempt to justify their substantial R&D and capital expenditures. But calling them an "AI stock" is insane considering "AI" is not their core business or even a profitable part of their business.

Isn't a decent amount of trading vibes / meme based? At least, a lot of crypto and arguably Tesla is. For those traders, isn't Microsoft an AI stock? At least some of the genAI stock valuations are from a subset of people thinking that the singularity is coming and that the first of these companies to do it will boom, aren't they? And isn't that the target audience for this sort of reporting?

Except Microsoft has been considered behind the other AI stocks for the last couple years. So they have not been seeing quite as big a boon as the others.

I suspect it is because MSFT is overvalued at the moment and the overvalued part is AI hype. Now that the AI bubble is decreasing, we see it reflected in MSFT. They're not pure AI stock, but some part of it is, so I think the speculation is apt. So, if you're an AI bro and a bit of a pussy and not 100% behind it, you can back Microsoft since they have other income streams to fall onto. If you're hardcore, you buy OpenAI and lose everything when it goes down.
BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 148d
Why the fuck are they even in the Ai business in the first place? They were milking the cloud services for years, Xbox and Windows being just side hustles, and now they made trendy AI pivot for no reason. They trying to dig gold while business is in selling shovels
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 147d
Because Blockbuster didn't get into streaming and look at them now
mlg@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 147d
MSFT's entire method of operation revolves around acquisition.
They bought into OpenAI just like they did for all of their major products in hopes that it makes money.
titanicx@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 147d
Everyone wants to be in the AI business. It's what was expected to make money. It's lost so much, I love it.
Scrollone@feddit.it · 1 pts · 147d
Apple is the tail-ender in the AI race, but it's paying off. Their latest macBook Neo is a success and it's going to eat a lot of Microslop's market.
T156@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 147d
If they had done a Google and sold GPU-compute cloud services, they could probably have made quite a tidy sum. Everyone wants compute.

Good

You love to see it

Oops, something went wrong. Let's try to fix that. Press here

Microslop deserves it.

I wonder what this will mean for xbox. M$ has already done enough to destroy the brand.
jtrek@startrek.website · 5 pts · 148d
My hot take has always been that Xbox was a stupid project. They had windows. People play video games on windows. They should have made steam and something like steam machines 25 years ago.
BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 147d
It really well promoted their DirectX API locking everyone into it. That was major part why there was no alternative to windows. But this isn't the case anymore, since super fast translation was invented by single linux guy with Anime waifu in his avatar.
osanna@lemmy.vg · 3 pts · 147d
nice. I hope, though unlikely, that they go bankrupt!
Scrollone@feddit.it · 3 pts · 147d
Microslop tasting their own medicine. I love it.

I guess the round and rounds of layoffs are really not working for general morale and this reflects on their products
No_Eponym@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 147d
No no, those layoffs were because AI does the work now, silly.
