So I should create a back up for every time I change a setting, just in case it borks my system? No thanks. That's something the OS should handle gracefully, not by doing a full restore from backup.
Yes, your average windows user knows just how to "start typing away" and not fuck things up. This is the attitude that keeps Linux from succeeding in the home market.
I've been saying it for years - Linux needs to be easier to REPAIR! It relies too heavily on re-installing as a "fix all" but I haven't done that since Windows 95. 98se was stable enough until XP came along then Win 7. The latter two I *never* had to reinstall. The other thing is settings being wiped out by re-installing... good god what a draconian solution.
Once that happens I'll switch in a heartbeat. Until then, I don't have time to waste on re-install/reconfigure nonsense.
I for one am looking to return to desktop computing. I am sick of trying to wrangle all my devices and info and having to wait on slow as sin mobile.
I want a single powerful/fast desktop that can handle the workload for my household, sit off in a corner out of sight, and everything else to be a screen for it to be delivered to. No one wants to deliver this to the end user though because it means they're only buying 1 expensive system instead of multiple. I for one can't afford the latter option and don't want the headaches that come with it.
They buckled immediately because they knew they could say anything and if it ever came down to it the courts would be the ones to decide jurisdiction not them. There was no downside to placating her.
Canadians, they'll practically give it away and a US company will swoop in with a similar patent and gouge everyone while burying anyone who tries to make the low cost version.
They don't like factual information, especially when it comes from the source itself, in plain language, contradicting a bad secondary/tertiary source that gained popularity.
Exactly what I did. What once ran in FF nicely tabbed now requires juggling at least 5 applications, including Chrome. Ditching XUL in the manner they did was the final nail in FF's coffin. I'd go back in a heartbeat if they started supporting things like FireFTP/FireSSH/etc. again - though with how pissed the addon devs were I doubt they would come back.
I got lost, a lot. I'd forever be pulling over, checking maps, asking directions. It was rather comical. Still do but at least it tells me to to a u-turn quickly.
My opinion, who cares? The lack of quality exclusive content, the horrific user interface, and the overpricing of games means new hardware is pointless. All it will do is encourage lazy developers to build to the best version of the hardware and downplay any sluggish response on the original X1.
Removing XUL in the way they did, ignoring/WONTFIX of user/developer issues, is what turned die hard holdouts like me against them. Every productivity extension, every extension that fixed bad UI choices they made over the years, were ripped out with no effort to implement something in WebExtensions. I mean, they refused to add something as fundamental as websockets because it was too laborious. I get why it needed to be done but they didn't get that the functionality XUL provided was fundamental to the user experience.

Xbox has no quality exclusives. PS4 does. Simple as that.
The few we could get excited about they butchered, like Crackdown 3.
Since he wants them to put in the same level of work as him, they should receive an equal reward should they not? Somehow I doubt he'll profit share.
500 movies and 25 shows.. is this a joke? That doesn't even cover their theatrical releases, let alone direct to video, FOX assets, etc.
I want this... with XUL extensions
Simple GUI settings are enough to cause the system to become unstable.

Who needs to brick them at the same time when the solders wear out.
Sorry, just bitter that our lightly played PS3 is getting the yellow light of death.

I have one of those in my car too (ring bound so no folding required) but it's not nearly as practical
I could live without "apps". I could live without social media. I could live without games. I could even live without a browser.
I cannot live without a map - I'd be forever lost or limited to what I could locate without getting lost.
Television definitely.
Th only thing I'm enjoying is The Orville currently.
My god man, use a switch!

The last time this type of report came out they were still using floppy discs

Pretty impossible precedent. She's in the Canadian judicial system - Trump just handed her a get out of jail free card.
