Claws mail client runs on windows, Linux and FreeBSD. It has almost feature parity with Thunderbird - some features more , some less than Thunderbird.
Best of all, Claws doesn't use the brain dead email storage format where one file stores all the emails of a folder. It doesn't scale well over gigabytes of folders. It is a frequent source of performance issues and email corruption in Thunderbird.
Why do you think I assume that all small schools are the same?
The sentence "small samples just lend themselves to a higher variability" from my post means the opposite. It means small schools are more different from each other than large schools are different from each other.
1. "Rigs" are unsightly. Ladies might not prefer too many of them in their home.
2. If there is only one human user, rebooting into another OS is easier than walking over to another computer.
3. Dual boot can expand to triple, and generally multiple boot systems. Real estate situation in many parts of the world does not allow storing so many "rigs" at convenient to access places always connected to electricity.
You can't tell them apart either, or you'd have an answer
I cannot tell them apart when put side by side. That is the whole point - telling 2 things apart when put side by side is a stupid metric. Why do you insist on this metric?
aside from breaking open an display unit and hooking up power meters to it, or running special apps to display test patterns that would highlight differences - both proof that the display itself isn't very different).
Ah yes, power consumption when black is the best meter
No.
Like that's possible to see in a demo phone in a store
And in a CPU displayed in a store, it is not possible to run benchmarks between i3 and i7. Your point?
And how useful is that when my LCD phone has twice the run time as my OLED phone?
1. Are you displaying primarily black?
2. Is there any other difference between the phones other than the screen?
doesn't make a lick of difference in the real world
For many people, i3 vs i7 doesn't make a lick of difference in the real world because both run facebook, office and gmail in a browser equally well.
If it were easy to see the dominance of OLED, somone could point to something that can be seen on a demo phone in a store, without downloading apps to the phone, or
You yourself admit that this is not a great way to measure dominance - by your example of generic network cable and Denon one. So how about using some other way to measure it?
Realistic battery life is another thing that can't be told from a casual look on a demo store in a store, without downloading apps to the phone unless one has days to spend at the store and use the phones to be compared identically as they will in the "real world". So battery life also must be a useless thing?
but they just can't prove it
1. Do you agree OLED has a much darker black that is visible from naked eye in somewhat dimly lit situations?
Others agree.
2. Do you spend any amount of time of your life in dimly lit situations?
Some others do.
Once the difference is obvious, people may decide that the darker blacks don't matter. Or they do. Shockingly, different things matter to different people in the "real world". But first you need to check if one has much darker blacks than the other.
1. Your method of telling whether something is an improvement or not - i.e. by asking whether "most people" can tell the difference when put side by side or not.
2. You yourself now found out that it is not a good method because it doesn't work with generic network cable and Denon cables.
3. You still don't have an answer about i3 vs i7 - they are distinguishable at a hugely higher effort as compared to OLED vs LCD.
So why don't you accept that it is not a good method at all?
Simply put, I went from LCD to OLED and the OLED was not an improvement, then went from OLED to LCD and the LCD was an improvement
Everything else was same?
Even if it was, your method of telling whether something is an improvement is massively idiotic - i.e. by asking "most people" to tell the difference when put side by side.
but can't tell me an easy way to see a difference between an OLED phone and LCD phone as displayed
I already told here. So yours is not only a carefully cultivated ignorance but painstakingly cultivated one.
You are displaying a carefully cultivated non-absorption of facts here. E.g. even after being told about the much darker blacks in OLED, you create artificial requirements like "most people" recognizing the difference when screens are put side by side. Now it is common knowledge that "most people" cannot recognize the difference when elementary technical information is required to do so, so this requirement is idiotic. But once that elementary technical knowledge is imparted, it required no special senses to recognize the technical difference e.g. i3 vs i7, and the far easier OLED vs LCD.
Now an irrational dislike is easy to impart to children and amounts to brainwashing, not unlike an Imam's.
Haha , OLED is far easier to recognize, and people here have already told some ways in the comments here. Just look for the much much darker blacks, or attach power consumption meters to the screen when displaying black, or measure battery life of OLED displaying black vs white.
You ask what's my alternative and then address 2 straw men? Bill gates has no business being in education. Being able to influence policy makers just because one has money is idiotic.
1. Others could have made the same mistake but Bill Gates did.
2. He was being listened to because he has money, not because he has any clue about education.
3. If any other person were listened to, it would have been because he had brains or political power. They would have stake in education system if nothing else. If brains, no problem. If political power, the people who granted him political power deserve whatever he gives them.
But people do not deserve what Mr money bags gives them.
Yeah, the Imam brainwashes his kids about the evils of eating pig so they wouldn't take pork even if offered. That doesn't mean there is anything necessarily wrong with the pork being offered.
For all his "geek" status, Bill Gates (with his foundation) failed elementary statistics. He succumbed to the law of small numbers and idiotically pushed for smaller schools for a long period spending a lot of time, money and energy convincing policy makers that the small schools will make students better.
They thought so only because frequently among the best performing schools were small schools. Idiots didn't notice that among the worst performers were ALSO small schools - small samples just lend themselves to a higher variability.
Bad standards do not encourage varied implementations. E.g. systemd. Good standards do e.g. POSIX.
No one is talking about security of systemd vs init scripts. They are talking about security of systemd as a process manager. Which is not only not proven, some people do not like the design wrt security.
In my teenage days decades ago, I once paid too much for my ice cream - I was duped. I licked it 1.5 times longer than the regular ice cream.
Not because it was any more enjoyable, but I had to compensate for having overpaid for my ice cream.
It's the same with Macs. Apple helps you along by charging exorbitantly for it's own RAM, soldering RAM, making batteries difficult to replace, etc. in different devices so that you suffer the same hardware for longer after obsolescence.
This is an argument for price collusion, and never getting into price wars. But price war is the only benefit of capitalism for customers.
E.g. company X is selling certain widgets. Company Y can make the widgets cheaper than company X. But it shouldn't sell the widget cheaper because some day company Z might come and make the widget cheaper still and sell cheaper still than company Y. So for the long term outlook, company Y should sell the widget for the same price as company X even if Y can sell it cheaper.
The real reason it doesn't work is that even if Y sells for the same price as X, Z can still out-compete both of them. Price war is the only reason why customers benefit in a capitalist society.
In this case, if Disney pays higher price to its employees, a Fisney can open a Fisneyland with similar facilities and cheaper ticket prices pushing Disney out of the market. Even if Disney follows your advice, it is no defence against Fisney who might use cheaper labour.

Why? Did someone say "mattress " to him? Anyway climb in the fish tank and sing the song for him.
Profit margin need not be high for your points to apply, it just needs to be positive and sustainable. So you changed the topic.
Coming back to topic, why is high profit margin ever good for the customer?
Intel processors i3 and i7 of the same generation are also typically indistinguishable when put side by side, except for the label. Your point?
Duh, attacker is a script.

If a lot of money is spent by non-accountable idiot organizations , it is not only not good for society but actively harmful.
Developers making money is not a problem. Companies selling their computing infrastructure products with inscrutable software is.
There is NOTHING "inscrutable" about pf.
1. I didn't say pf is inscrutable.
2. pf is not the only software shipped on computing infrastructure products sold by some companies.

No free (not to mention open source for credibility) GUI for outgoing firewall? OSX is not ready for prime time.
Android and Fedora Linux (other flavors too) both have had free and open source firewall GUI for years.

The only thing guaranteed to not make a difference is to do nothing.
False. Entropy is a bitch. Sometimes you must do something so as to not make a difference, otherwise entropy will make the difference for you.
