I wasn't aware there are countries where homeschooling is flat-out illegal. Most countries IIRC will allow homeschooling once the legal hoops have been negotiated.
Now and old-fashioned landline might be a different matter. I'm sure there's kids out there who haven't even had to press physical buttons to make a call. Now it's just "Tap Fred Bloggs in the contacts list"
I work in a 1970's built secondary school in the UK. The whole building is made from steel, producing a suprisingly effective faraday cage. I'll be honest, that design "oversight" has been one of the greatest assets of the building in the last 10 years.
And every smartphone i've owned has be a faulty one bought on ebay for less than the price of a good night out. But that's probably not what a prepubescent kid would want. Whether they get what they want or not depends on how much of a snowflake their parents are.
I live in a country not run by Fuhrer Trump, and that actually respects democracy. Sure, our trade deals are fucked and we're going to be screwed over by the EU, but at least we have a free and open internet.
you're telling me it's a bad idea to stop kids from carrying a highly addictive device because they might get mugged or kidnapped. Now i'm sorry, but having a 9 year-old carry a $1000 device is providing them with more risk of being mugged, not less. If they need a mobile, give them a cheapy $20 feature phone. It's also much less expensive when it does inevitably get lost, broken or stolen.
Part of the reason WINE is so good is the fact that ReactOS and WINE share, and contribute to each other, a lot of code. Most of the cloned Windows apps bundled with WINE (taskmgr, solitaire, mspaint for example) were taken from ReactOS. If ReactOS didn't exist, WINE would be a lot worse than it is.
If anything, it's more necessary. Windows 10 is an ugly, inconsistent, buggy pile of shite that i'll never let into my own home.
Oh, and i use the ReactOS regedit on a day-to-day basis when user rights have restricted access to the one baked into Windows. Also the paint clone is pretty good.
Big banks still primarily use DOS software. I'm sure support for DOS was phased out over 20 years ago. If the main financial institutions still trust a 20 year old operating system, i don't think my slightly out-of-date iPhone is really that much of a problem.
I bought my first iPhone at 16 when i asked my parents for a smartphone and got a $50 Nokia instead. If they really want it, make the bastards work for it!
I have a Macbook Air i do everything on. And anything that won't run on MacOS i run through a Windows machine i built late last year. Teamviewer and Steam Streaming are a godsend
Why would i buy a copy of, say, assisns creed just to follow the same old story path that everyone else who had the games has followed. I'll stick to Rimworld where you never know when your colonists are going to be eaten alive by a rabid pack of squirrels or your base will be set on fire by some angry raiders, blinding your herd of Muffalo.
Itanium was a completely new chip design, with limited compatibility with x86. Intel never had plans to make any 64-bit extensions to x86, opting to design a completely different architecture as it's entry into 64-bit processor market. AMD saw this as an unbelievable oversight, and designed it's own 64-bit architecture based heavily on (and fully compatible with) the x86 instruction set. This gave AMD a near-total monopoly on the 64-bit PC market for a year or so, whilst Intel scrambled to design it's own compatible architecture to compete.

Well then you should work harder to pay for it then!

Then why would you even let them go to school in the first place?

It's trying to clone Windows XP now.

My iPhone 5 is still going strong. I have a 5S at home waiting to be formatted and put into service, but meh, the 5 still works.

Mainstream games, in general, are crap.
