Considering there’s currently 80+ MS products with the name CoPilot in them, renaming a few is probably for their benefit and not the consumer: https://teybannerman.com/strategy/2026/03/31/how-many-microsoft-copilot-are-there.html

Consistency is rather grainy.

I played with the Chinese Zinwa Q25 last year and it sooo felt like a Blackberry. Too bad the Q25 is plagued with issues or I would have bought one. Almost two decades later and I still miss my Blackberry keyboard.

They put their brand before user security and sustainability. And still have the gall to claim to be ethical. Wait wait wait. Where does Vivaldi say that in any way? On the contrary, they’re pretty damned clear about Their brand vivaldi.com/for-a-better-web/ Vivaldi is headquartered In Norway, proudly employee-owned, with no external investors pulling the strings. This means we make decisions that are best for you, not for shareholders’ profit. We build the browser we want to use, listening to our users to create a web experience that’s free, powerful, and uniquely yours. Their user security vivaldi.com/privacy/browser/ We strictly protect the security of any and all personal information you provide to us while using Vivaldi products and services. We do not share or sell information to any third party and we proactively protect all user data from disclosure, with the only exception being if requested by legitimate law agencies with a court order. and their sustainability umatechnology.org/why-vivaldis-anti-ai-browser-is… So I’m sorry, but your own comment sounds absurd because it lacks any proof thereof. None are so cursed as those who fail to learn from history. No disagreement there, but Vivaldi isn’t repeating anything that’s been tried before. Vivaldi is an employee owned company that wants to succeed, wants to offer the best interface, security and features to the general public it can whilst simultaneously keeping itself uniquely true to its values and survival. Gee, so horrible of it to want to scrape a living for its employee owners. Ridiculousness indeed.

I get the resentment for closed source and the love for FOSS, but just because it’s closed doesn’t mean it’s bad. I’ve been a Slackware user since 1994 and if you’ve ever used sg3_utils or lsscsi, you’ve used my code lol. I just cannot commit to fanboing like that as there’s reasons even today not to gnu everything. Vivaldi has a descent reason too vivaldi.com/…/why-isnt-vivaldi-browser-open-sourc…

that wasn’t the question lol.

Vivaldi for me. It is based on Opera, but is nothing like the Opera company, does a really good job at blocking ads out of the box and is lighter in ram than FF android.

Elmo: Hehehe, THAT tickles!

I have 3 lenovo thinksystem racks with the oldest being from 2015 and the newest v3 from late last year. I also have various other servers and storage of theirs. They, Lenovo CAN be good, BUT Lenovo dislikes customers who want to have a 7-10yr life cycle and while we strive to keep it at 5-6 years, some have to go to 7-8 which is where Lenovo gets shitty. Lenovo supports their stuff for 5 years and that’s literally not even arguable because they say it everywhere. Yes, you can keep it as long as you want but they, Lenovo will not support it. This is where I try to use HPE as they allow some of their products to get updates for decades… HPE MSA storage, Alletra/Nimble storage and HPE DL3xx servers specifically. We’re also an Aruba shop, which is now HPE so it just works best for us.

Longer than 30 years I assure you. I buy HPE where I can, but “stop buying their shit” isn’t in any company guidelines and even people like me who dictate what the company buys ends up dealing with Dell and Lenovo server dogshit systems from other vendors. Literally unavoidable.
