    It would be interesting to know if your method is as effective using Klingon or Esperanto.

    Hello. This is Homer Simpson, a.k.a. Happy Dude. The court has ordered me to call every person in town to apologize for my telemarketing scam. I'm sorry. If you can find it in your heart to forgive me, send one dollar to Sorry Dude 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield. You have the power.

    Ah yes of course. Let's just ask for proper buttons instead of touch panels (problem solved, no remote needed and buttons should cost less than a touch panel) and multiple DisplayPort instead of HDMI. Well, maybe one HDMI or two.

    What I want is a big dumb display, like a computer monitor. I don't want anything smart, I don't even want a tuner. Give me something simple with lots of inputs such as composite, S-video, components, DVI and multiple HDMI. I don't even want a remote.

    Is that too much to ask?

    Primary motivation for HTML5 media was that it didn't work on iPhones and iPads. Apple also stopped bundling Flash with Safari on macOS. Since Apple users are the ones with the money, the ads simply followed.

  12. I'm tired of websites wasting my bandwidth with videos I never wanted to watch in the first place.

    Now can we do something about those awful video-converted-to-animated-GIF monstrosities?

    Perhaps you should look into what "option" means.

    Alternatively, you could write the list of operating system options for the year 2058 in your reply below. Be sure to include future operating systems that don't exist yet. We'll wait.

    Computers are to blame. What used to be good enough is now easy to bypass because of increasing computer power. You think your random 64-characters password is safe? Wait until quantum computers become commonplace.

    Android tablets weren't a viable option back then.

    It's hard to be a viable option when it doesn't even exist.
