This is no different than taking care of roads, water supply or sewers. If we aren't willing to pay for our infrastructure, it goes by the wayside and gets neglected.
And how did she shop for herself? âoeI do not shop,â Patten said. In what sense?, I asked, confused. âoeI just gave up,â she said. âoeI just stopped shopping.â
I think a lot of people are just fatigued from this sort of pricing shenanigans.
Too bad it isn't to upgrade the infrastructure for the cash cow of residential customers. It's to build out a system for a solution in search of a problem.
First the public transportation has to be practical to use, which it isn't outside of some large municipal areas of the US. Sure, there are other pockets here an there, but it's largely not usable otherwise.
Not that they don't make some effort. There is a commuter bus line from where I am to close to where I work, but it only runs twice in the morning and twice in the evening. If you miss it, too bad. I can't walk (or take other public transit) to the boarding points either, so what's the point.
And if they actually follow through on improving their library, it will be worth a buck or two extra per month. I'll give them a few months to improve things. If they don't improve, then it will be time to look for alternatives.
To be quite honest, this has been my personal experience with MS software. I've also had problems with various open source software, but at least with OSSs you don't necessarily expect it to be usable "out of the box" and sometimes requires a little fiddling. But with MS stuff you're paying real money for it.
If I'm going to pay as much as these things look like they're going to cost, I want cupholders for my favorite 128oz SuperGulp. Of course once I'm settled in to one of these workstations, I'm not going to want to move, so maybe this is what the new, high end iLoo is going to look like on the inside.

> Baby boomers: The transistor. The laser. The internet. Manned moon landings. Manufacturer to the world.
Not even close. All those happened well before any boomers were adults. Transistors, lasers and moon landings all happened when boomers were children.
The US became a worldwide manufacturer during WWII, before boomers were born.
This is why I will never buy or recommend any router that cannot be flashed/used with OpenWRT/LEDE.
And it will run on almost all the Apple hardware, except the MacBook pro.
Good luck getting it to run on anything not Apple.

This. But I don't use tasks, I use the Notes App. More free-form maybe, plus an Android app just for notes.
There are also turnkey versions for Raspberry Pi that may work on other SBCs.
It's voluntary until it isn't.
No, not confusion caused by his debilitating health. He was drawn into the whole devolution of the modern conservative movement for many years.
I lost a lot of respect for him when he started spouting a lot of that nonsense well before the GWB days.
Good books though.
I thought this excerpt was telling:

The more you know.
If I could remove all the crap apps they make me have (yes you too Google, not just V*******), I'd have an up to date phone.

This is just a headline. Is there a link to an actual story?
It's been out for a few years already. This is old dusty, crufty news.
It was news 2 or 3 years ago.
Like that study where they tried finding men who hadn't seen any porn, they wont be able to find anyone who hasn't done it.
It would be really cool to see a Theremin-based monitor for this, like this site:
https://www.googlesciencefair.com/projects/en/2014/04d4d5dd602bdab802a76b48c24b3e1e29679611a5bfa55c34ed4f40df8294cf
They talk about being able to monitor more than just breathing with it.

I wonder, since the zero has a pcie board connector, if this could be used as some sort of lights out module on the cheap.

One giant leap backwards for readability.
Come on, really? It's not a "media" site, it's a readers/posters site.
Does that make it NickelOS?

"As things tend to happen in our world, yesterday's science fiction has turned into today's science fact due to one Israeli inventor with a dream."
OK, so this is nit-picking, but this makes it sound like they're attributing all the way out inventions to this guy.

I would have loved to see more development with this package instead of seeing someone write a new one from scratch.

but only because I lost a couple of RAID disks. Damn cheap used hardware.
