Microsoft's Acquisition Hunger Games

The trillion-dollar financial industry, with all its complex algorithms and fancy trading platforms, still ultimately depends on a bunch of spreadsheets held together by duct tape and prayers. Nothing quite captures the fragility of modern capitalism like knowing your retirement fund is probably being managed by some sleep-deprived analyst with 47 Excel tabs open, praying that their VLOOKUP doesn't break. And somewhere, a banker is explaining to investors why their sophisticated risk assessment model is actually just a spreadsheet formula created in 1998.

Windows: *requires 64-bit CPU, 4GB RAM, secure boot, Microsoft account, valid license, and a small blood sacrifice to the update gods* Linux: "Just give me electrons and I'll run on your toaster." The beauty of Linux is that it'll boot on practically anything with a power source while Windows keeps adding requirements faster than Moore's Law can keep up.

So Microsoft brags about 30% of their code being AI-generated, then pushes an update that kills your SSD. Coincidence? I think not. This is what happens when you let GitHub Copilot write your disk I/O routines. Next update will probably require a blood sacrifice and your firstborn child just to boot up. Remember when updates just fixed things instead of creating exciting new problems? Those were the days...

Nothing says "we value developers" quite like turning your workforce into unpaid volunteers!
