It sounds like you just don't like the default settings, extensions, or apps. That's not really a problem with gnome IMO. It provides a good platform for getting things right, and it's up to the distros to tweak it accordingly. Ubuntu has taken a step towards doing that with giving you Dash to Dock by default.
There are phones on the market that have all of those things. You should buy one of them.
Not that I personally care about any of these features, but there is in fact just 1 android phone ever released that has all of those if you include the need for a fingerprint reader (modern phone).
Even if I was complaining about getting shot while wandering around in the open without a care in the world, it wouldn't change the fact that the sniper is playing like a pussy taking pot shots from back at home base.
Snipers are pussies anyway. I don't know why the developers always have to add a gun that kills in one shot from across the map. It just ruins the game for other players so the sniper can have "fun" taking pot-shots by himself.
Compared to a phone tablets have much larger batteries and no, they are usually not more expensive. Often they are much cheaper for the same CPU performance due to lack of radios, waterproofing, quality cameras, and tightly integrated electronics etc.
What you're really saying is that a 7 or 8" screen is dumb because you've never wanted one yourself.
This will be accomplished by:
1. developing the self-driving tech for the easiest, most open source vehicle they can find
2. Releasing it to the public without thorough verification
3. Encouraging inexperienced developers to port it to more complex vehicles
4. People who love to flash and re-flash their cars will start dying in horrible accidents with firey explosions

6. They will never turn a profit
Have you done any research on exotic car prices? They very often increase in value or at least hold their value well. Much better than a cell phone percentage wise.
Seriously, I went to best buy to get something after their website said it was in stock at that particular store. Turns out they don't even carry the thing. Even their website is full of shit.
If you're in the garage covered in grease, fucking focus on what you're doing and stop dicking with the radio. For the better part of a century there was a radio turned to a radio station and it made noises while people were covered in grease. That hasn't changed. If what's on the radio is more important than the reason you're covered in grease, go wash your hands, and sit down and listen to the radio.
So people aren't allowed to stream music and work on their car now? FM radio sucks, and sometimes you want to move to the next track. Who the fuck sits down to just listen to the radio? This isn't 1950.
Three. The answer is three. It's not really hard to remember. And why the hell would you need to know that anyway? If you don't have the correct measuring tools, buy them. If you're modifying the recipe, do that ahead of time, not while you're fucking cooking already. That's a recipe for disaster.
Yeah it wouldn't be hard to remember that one conversion. There's lots of conversions though, and that was probably just an example. Also, maybe not everyone is a super efficient expert cook. Some people have fun trying to wing it.
Holy shit. A cone of sound? You need directional speakers when you're working on the car? WTF?
He specifically said he did *not* want directional speakers so the sound doesn't change when he walks around the garage. I didn't take that as an end-of-the-world kind of thing either, just a nice perk.
And in your bedroom. You can't turn off the lights before bed? You can't decide if you want the fan on or off? It's too hard to haul your ass out of bed for 4 seconds to adjust either?
The lights thing is a bit of stretch, but maybe he wasn't too hot when he went to bed and it got hotter later? Of course he *could* get out of bed half asleep, but no one *wants* to do that.
Nothing I regularly watch/consume has a compelling VR port or option.
That's because it has to target VR in the first place to be truly compelling. There are games/videos where this is the case but you haven't heard of them because you haven't looked.
There are multiple vendors, I don't know what's compatible with what, or what's exclusive to what.
It's actually pretty easy. Steam tells you which games are compatible with which platforms (usually it's both) and it's very easy to run Steam's VR software with a rift or vive.
Also, I'm the only one who can enjoy it. Will we need to have family movie night sharing the VR goggles?
What you see/hear is displayed on the TV as well for the benefit of others. It's like playing a game where only one person can use the controller at a time. It's still social.
Lastly, price -- looks like a VR rig is something like $500.
Oculus just had a sale where everything you needed was included for $400 new. You can get used sets for even cheaper. This is console territory.
If we wanted to have a family VR night I'd have to spend $2K on VR stuff, plus whatever they might need to plug into (console? PC?).
Now you're just blatantly lying due to what seems like an inherent objection to new technology. Maybe do some more research before knocking it?
Don't let the AMD circle-jerkers hear you talking about single threaded performance. Didn't you know Ryzen is The Second Coming and Intel will be out of business in a matter of months?

Replaceable battery? Rugged/IP68? SD card slot? Headphone jack?

Sounds expensive, fragile, and heavy.

They are also nominally for a balanced budget and lowering the national debt. They don't seem too concerned with that at the moment.
Have they ever been?
Maybe don't go out in public if you're that scared of having your picture taken?
Buy compact disc players and electrical tin openers.
I'm going to start charging you for these solutions. Lucky for you I charge by the hour and this stuff takes literally 20 seconds to find.
Buy two or three of these and attach them to your headphones. Problem solved.
This is $380. You can get them slightly used on swappa for even less.
How many sets of headphones do you have?
I learned to do stuff like build adders out of flip-flops.
That's extremely impressive. You're going to have to explain that one to me.

Do we really want our democracies decided by memes and whoever trolls the hardest?.
That's up to the voters. The real story in all of this is that so many people get their "news" from facebook ads.
I believe a facebook ad campaign has monetary value.
I WANT THE .. oh
Sounds like a problem with your cloud backup app.

Agreed. I was okay with no notification LED, because 2nd screen.
This is a go at Samsung's s8 from the looks. But, No 2nd screen? . No notification LED?
It has an interactive always-on display (with color even). That's probably why they got rid of the 2nd screen.
