While I agree with you, it's not a game that Burger King can win in the long run because Google controls both their Google Home device and the result of their request.
McDonald's or Starbuck's are the best examples, they're corporations. We're talking about non-military, non-corporate, non-research regular civilians here.
Not necessarily. People sometimes don't realize how different things are different in other parts of the world. Hollywood is the perfect example, where "snow" in most movies doesn't look or behave like snow at all.
Or they'll realize that NES ROM's are really easy to find, and that installing an emulator on their current computer is even easier, faster and cheaper.
But some input devices (more often touchpads than mice) rely on proprietary Windows drivers to turn non-standard events into Windows scroll wheel events at the driver level instead of using the standard USB HID events.
Short, impolite version: some input devices are defective because they were designed by idiots who did not follow established standards.
Why would graphics be limited to VGA? Are you talking about the connector or the resolution? There's nothing that prevents Win2K or WinXP from outputting through DVI and from DVI you can use a simple low-cost hardware DVI-to-HDMI adapter. As for resolution, 640x480 existed in the Win95 era.
Too bad replacing the HDD/SSD requires more than basic tools and is as complicated as opening up a recent laptop.
As for memory and a quad core processor, forget it. There is no RAM slots and the RAM is soldered on the motherboard since 2014 (which is the current model) and there hasn't been a quad core option since 2012.
So either you're recommending to search for a used 2012 Mac mini or you're telling people to wait until 2018~2020 for Apple to get their head out of their collective asses and release either an upgraded model or a worthy successor to the Mac mini.
My regular, non-popping car handles sometimes get covered with ice in the winter. I'm pretty sure a Tesla owner wouldn't be able to open his doors at all.
I just saved everyone a bunch of time by searching for the meaning of your joke and pasting the result in my post above. Also, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
Abstract Remote triggered black hole filtering describes a method of mitigating the effects of denial-of-service attacks by selectively discarding traffic based on source or destination address. Remote triggered black hole routing describes a method of selectively re-routing traffic into a sinkhole router (for further analysis) based on destination address.

First off, prefetching is insane. Some of us have old, slow computers. We don't have gigabit internet connections and dozens of GB of RAM. Prefetching maxes out our connection all the time and makes the computer swap like crazy. No wonder I thought Firefox was a piece of crap.
Second, hi-res images. Ever since computer display resolution started going up, websites have been increasing their images. I don't NEED nor WANT a fucking 4K JPEG that's 30MB because my display only has 1280x1024 pixels. So my computer has to download a 30MB file, de-compress the 4K into memory and then re-sample the damn thing down to something appropriate for my display. That's just insane.
Hell I've even seen so-called "thumbnail" pages where the idiots loaded the full-size images to display them as thumbnails.

If they read your comment they could still change it to that. Can we start a petition somewhere to send to Google?
Also, make sure it's the official video so Rick gets his pay check.
If their ads make their way to YouTube, they'll still work.
Or maybe you're the one incapable of understanding the basic problem here: DO NOT BUY SPYING DEVICES FOR YOUR OWN HOME.

Both the sick and the greedy fall in line with Douglas Adams' quote from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "People are a problem."

OS X defaults to backward scrolling because their devices are touch-based (both touch pad on laptops and on their input devices).
It's easy enough to invert scrolling though: System Preferences > Mouse > Scroll direction (unselect)

Searched for "Linux Stupid" distro. Instructions not clear enough. Got my dick caught in the ceiling fan.

Details, details! They'll fix that with the next software update!

Abstract
Remote triggered black hole filtering describes a method of mitigating the effects of denial-of-service attacks by selectively discarding traffic based on source or destination address. Remote triggered black hole routing describes a method of selectively re-routing traffic into a sinkhole router (for further analysis) based
on destination address. This document updates the "IPv6 Special Purpose Address Registry" by explaining why a unique IPv6 prefix should be formally assigned by IANA for the purpose of facilitating IPv6 remote triggered black hole filtering and routing.
Obligatory Seinfeld reference.
Now if only we could have a 3D-printed drone running apps to filter queries via a hosts file, we'd have a winning post.
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
HTML5 didn't step up to the plate because Google chose to push their own CODEC instead of simply using the industry standard H.264.

Well of course YMMV. Not everyone's workplace is at the same distance from his house than yours.

I think you just described a totalitarian regime, not anarchy.
On the other hand, you also described the U.S.A.
