Not had any need for CD/DVD/BR for many years now. And installing a OS from a good USB stick is way, way faster anyways.
But I bought a external USB Blue-ray recorder that I keep on the shelf in case of some weird device with drivers on CD only or something like that. Haven't needed it yet..
Only one problem. Next forced update, your stupid search bar and windows store etc. will be turned on with no possibility of turning them off again.. Enjoy your 'operating system'..
News at eleven. Specialists using radio equipment is able to simulate objects on a radar, a technology also based on radio waves. Also, the world ends in about one hour.
It's like there is some kind of natural selection going on where males in general are drawn to detail driven technical work, and women are seeking work with more social aspects. Maybe I am on to something here?
Even if you pay for a Win10 license, you still get the Start menu ads, forced telemetry etc.
I could kinda understand why when Win10 was for free, but how do they justify showing ads and not being able to disable Windows Store etc. when the user is on a payed for licenses?
If you want to compare oranges, in Norway we have a population density of about 14 persons per sq km.
I don't live near a city or anything like that, and for $70 a month I have a 80/80mbit fiber connection going directly to my house. No size limitations what so ever, and the speed is always what I pay for.
Unless you are in one of those 'multitasking' environments where everybody is feeling very busy but efficiency is crap, you can pretty much stick to the language that best suite the work you are doing.
I think I can explain why Norway is topping the VR porn chart.
With Norway being a high cost country, the price of a flagship smartphone becomes relatively low compared to many other things like cost of living etc. So in our country Samsung has been very successful in marketing the Galaxy S7 with the the free GearVR bundle. It's definitively one of the most popular phones at the moment. I see them everywhere. In fact when I purchased my S7, Samsung Norway was so overwhelmed by orders that they had run out of GearVR bundles, and had to ship the VR googles later when they got new ones from overseas.
So at the moment there is a lot of GearVR users in Norway, looking for content. And as we all know, internet is for porn.
So.. Does the military get sued every time a soldier dies? This is no different as long as the risks are made perfectly clear from the outset, and papers signed accordingly.
All this "people must learn to code" stuff is such a load of self serving crap. It's obvious what the plan is, flood the marked with cheap 'coding' labor for the large software corporations to gobble up. And if a large crowd of at best mediocre 'coders' is what the world needs, fine go ahead. You usually end up getting what you pay for.
I got the notification spam from Microsoft apps too, and the solution was simple. I disabled any notification for the offending apps in Android. When I want to work on a document I open it. There is no need for notifications of any kind in this type of application. So in a classic example of cry wolf, Microsoft has made it so that I will no longer get any notifications from their apps.
Please stop fixing problems for the few, at the expense of pretty much everybody else. This is a problem you find repeatedly in pretty much all big name software today.
I just disabled the windows update service on all my windows machines. Win10 is not an alternative for either of them, and I just will not risk it.
It is a sad day when I feel safer with windows update completely turned off.
Total Commander (used to be Windows Commander until M$ started complaining) runs on Android. Anyone having used Norton Commander or any similar OFM (Orthodox File Manager) will feel right at home.

Problem solved.
and some additional stuff that nobody cares about..
Children have absolutely no interest in looking at old computers, make it something hands on where the children can touch, interact and experiment.

Great, how is 503'ing archive.org any better?

now I just need some straws to grasp at.

More like what I expected. I mean, when is the last time you saw a pirate give away money?
Someone got a bad case of 'Not invented here'.
It's been a long time since I stopped getting excited about minor iterations in technology.
