I’ll start it off: Windows is a perfectly fine OS, as long as you use Enterprise or Server (Home and Pro are crap) Self driving cars are the future since the US won’t fully embrace mass transit
minus-squareramble81@lemmy.zipOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·15 hours agoSadly any competition to YT has a double high barrier to entry: First, they need to be able to pay content creators more than they would get on YT. That’s pretty damn hard. Second, they need the infrastructure to support it. CDNs, petabytes of storage, it’s not just something small to host. Each one by themselves could bankrupt a company and you need both at a minimum to be competitive.
