Who, you mean I will be able to re-get my login "Frédéric" I chose last century but that an admin had to rename because I was not able to login anymore a few years ago? I was known as Fr%c9d%c9ric or whatever messy displayed it was:)
When I was in college/university I had a PC1245 then a PC1260, with thermic-printer, tape interface to save programs, etc, it was a great computer, I miss it:-/
I even bought the assembler/disassembler on tape to write programs in native ASM.
Hi fellow lowID, my username was "Frédéric" for 10 years, then something fucked up on the site and I was not able to log anymore, I had to contact admin and they had to change my username because of accentuated characters,/. is still limited to 7bits ASCII, this is incredible..
I agree, the keyboard we find everywhere in Québec is very easy to use (QWERTY and the number on the top row) and you can easily type ÇÉÀÜÎ whatever accentuated characters. Also most of them have the dual layout printed on each keys, so by switching the OS to US keyboard, any american could use it to type []{}#\| more easily
Apple can be replaced (Android phones), Amazon can be replaced (hundreds of online retailers), Facebook is more or less useless, you do not need it. Microsoft can be replaced (Linux). But Google?!? can you replace its search engine?
You can replace iPhone with Android phones, there is competition there, there is way more android phones than iphones. You can replace Amazon by the hundreds of others online retailers. Facebook, well, is more or less useless, it's not a product you are using. Microsoft has competition too like Linux.
But Goole, has no real competition.
I'm 45 and never used an Apple product ; Amazon is zero competitive in Canada, never bought anything here ; Facebook is only to see relative pictures, I do not post there ; I use Linux for years. The only thing I use from google is search engine, chrome, gmail.
I must say if Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft were all to dissapear, it will change nothing. But Google as a search engine is still top notch and have no real competition so for the moment, they stay.
My last CP/M machine was my Amstrad CPC6128, Z80, 128K RAM, I had a 5.25" disk drive and used CPM 2.2 and CPM 3.0 on it, I had Turbo Pascal, DBaseII, and so on. It was mid 80s.
It was only a few pounds, the computer was in the keyboard.
As a 45yo french guy on the net since early 90s, I am the same... I went to altavista or lycos for a search engine, had an hotmail account in the 90s. But yahoo? I never went on their web page in 20+ years
My Mint 17.2 XFCE is running quite well on my old netbook, Atom N270 (o/c to 2.0GHz), 3GB RAM and an Nvidia ION GPU, it can easily decode 1080p video using the GPU, even play some old 3D games. Coding/compiling small project is a breeze. Chrome+reddit+RES is somewhat slow sometimes. I even installed Win10 build 1511 on a partition, and I am impressed it is this quite fast.
I wanted to re-install Windows 7, what a mistake... first the update takes a core at 100% and just scanning for updates takes about 20h. There is 203 updates, it is a mess, there is updates for IE9, IE10, IE11 and multiples security updates for all browsers including IE8, then multiple.NET updates and others. Half of them fail to install, some rollback, after an update and a reboot it can find new updates, etc. All in all it takes a few days to install Win7.
So I took the MS tool, downloaded the 1511 ISO, wipe the partition and intalled a fresh Win10, after the install there was 3 updates, that's it, no bloatware, no forever to d/l and install update. In 20 minutes I was running and up-to-date.
I guess they have their reason to remove the 1511 ISO, certainly because you could install a fresh Win10 with a Win7 or Win8 key.
And do not worry/., I dual boot Mint 17.2 but need Windows for some programs like GPS update for instance.

What about NYC? About 120k where renting an apartment is minimum $2000/month...
And for Paris it is way too low, intermediate for $80k wtf? an apartment there is also at least $2000/month, it means 50% of your net salary.
Oh nice, I worked with Precise/MQX and its RTCS stack, I implemented SNMP v2c for our products running this OS.
Damn, so close!

I must say I do it, mostly on forums, but important things (email, banking, ebay, paypal, etc) have their own logins and passwords
I am using the Android keyboard on my Nexus7 and it has no flaw... why use a 3rd party keyboard?
Yup, it's like the thing about Finebros on reddit, I never heard of those guys, and who the hell cares? :)

...still runs on Win10 (32bits), I tested an application from 1993, it works fine, I must say this is impressive ;)

Yes, it's written in the article, but wait, it's /. so you didn't read TFA...
I was wondering the same thing... The first thing that came to my mind was : "Why?"

You can find this netbook for less than $100.

And do not worry
There was a NYT article where they said that terrorists communicated via WhatsApp
