You're completely missing the point. "Our main focus is shifting from providing a distribution for old hardware to a functional yet modular distribution focused on getting out of the way and letting users use their computer."
The important part here was that they are no longer going to give a crap about old machines. Yes, LXQt may be coincidentally lightweight, but doesn't mean old machines will be catered for in future.
Get a dictionary. Cash doesn't need to be in physical form on order to be paid to someone.
cash
NOUN
1Money in coins or notes, as distinct from cheques, money orders, or credit.
‘the staff were paid in cash’
‘a discount for cash’

‘she was always short of cash’
It's not dead. Still around and still actively developed. Having a smaller market share does not make something "dead", you're just being a drama queen.
No matter how good a product is, you will always find some jealous plonker on the Internet who will be as argumentative as. Some people come online just to vent their frustrations and let off a bit of steam. Attacking people and looking for negatives in everything is an easy way to do that.
The Google opinions rewards app on android gives you Google play credit for answering questions. You can accept or decline the questions. I think that is a much better model than just taking data.
Except they have thwarted hundreds of plots. The UK are serious, but every once in a while someone slips through the net. It's nearly impossible to defend against a lone wolf who keeps his intentions secret.
I worked at a Hydroelectric project and used GCM to alert people when the values of PLCs hit certain thresholds (low voltage, high temps etc). There is no way I would just use Google for this though. These alarms are important, you should never just depend on one service. We also had a directly connect pro-face (with alarms) screen in the control room as well as various live graphs, android apps and widgets and email alerts. So if Google Cloud Messaging went down there were still other ways to detect a problem.
I'd mod this up if I had points. That's exactly what they were doing anyway. Paying people in the US to pay for ads using made up group or company names.
I suspect that when you click "Do not allow" it means the ads displayed aren't based on 3rd or 1st party tracking cookies. So the ads will still be displayed, just that they will be less relevant to you. They wont be collecting data about you. GDPR doesn't ban ads, it prevents illicit data collection and storage.

Try the HP website, or Google it.
Yeah, these folks are buying the cheapies and expecting them to work like professional printers. There's a reason for the massive price difference.
VISTA was their opening. They failed to take advantage of that. Then Windows 7 killed Linux on the desktop.
Space X has no interest in sending people to space. They can make money by sending hardware.
How are you going to compete on the world stage if your people are poorly educated?
Americans are bananas. Not got any hobbies, other than shooting up the whole damn place?

slashdot has code? You must be new here.
Nothing to stop someone throwing a few lines of extra code into an open source product before compile time.

I started laughing at "Top Gear". You do realise that show is light hearted fictional comedy? It shouldn't be taken seriously.

You don't get to the top of a big company without being a douchebag every once in a while. Of course you are so perfect.

Too many people editing Wikipedia have personal agendas that they are pushing. This makes some articles a bit misleading, even if they are well cited.
