I get news from a variety of sources. If my mobile device is most handy that's my source. Perhaps the headline should read "80% of US adults get their news on what they use."
I hope I don't come off as sanctimonious since I once thought I would never be able to save enough to retire. I thought, knew actually, my parents generation had it much better with plenty of jobs and pensions for when they stopped working. I decided to do what I could fully expecting social security to be bankrupt when I needed it. I still am not sure how that will play out since I'm not collecting yet but I started saving earnestly some 30 years ago, weathered some tough market swings and still came out ahead. The stock market is really the only way to generate enough wealth to beat inflation unless you have an inheritance coming your way. There is plenty of useful, free advice to assist you on your journey. I recommend the Boglehead forum as a good place to start. As you close in on your retirement goal reduce risk and expect market volatility. So live below your means, save as much as you can, don't pay unnecessarily for financial advice and stay the course. Nobody knows the future. I mean this with great sincerity.
The market where I live is serviced primarily by Cox and Verizon. Both offer internet only packages marginally cheaper than bundled services. So yeah, they have the cake and eat it too while still whining about everything.
For the most part the problems were between the floorbox panels and the workstations but our facility had roughly a thousand movable workstations connected by fiber patch cables. When fixed core problems came up they were hard to troubleshoot, e.g. shining light down the fiber path. This was a number of years ago so perhaps things have improved.
I worked for many years in a secure US government facility operating at the classification of secret and top secret/SCI. Fiber was the only permitted network infrastructure and we spent countless hours chasing down broken fiber tips, and crushed cables. Expertise required to retip fiber was much harder to come by than simply crimping twisted pair cable, which was shielded anyway. Emissions was the reasoning behind using glass to transmit the electrons.
No matter what the talking heads say about STEM and giving equal opportunity to all. It take real skill, dedication and talent to be a real innovator. Luck comes later.
Similar setup for me back in the day. I kept a Sun "pizzabox" SPARCstation 5 diskless client on my desk running SunOS 4,1,3 long after our development environment moved on to SYSV Solaris. I preferred the BSD environment with pure X11. I'd remote in to the new hardware and work that way.
For many sitting starts in a car during a long commute to/from work followed by sitting for another 8+ hours. When I was faced with that I would spend a portion of my lunch break walking around my work site.
For all of the talk of colonizing space for the future of mankind seems like similar challenges exist on earth. The oceans of our world. Negatives, hostile environment, positives, lots of water and reentry to a civilization we know does not involve wormholes or warp factors.

I'd even settle for why Microsoft is good at this point. Give it a rest SlashOverlords.
They already know everything anyway.
I don't buy the cost thing. It's most likely more convenient for the parents and the kids prefer their screens to the outdoors.

That, coupled with streamed or local content (discs) and I am good to go.
I agree that simplicity is best. I prefer vim but props to the Notepad++ team for fixing this.

The biggest change for me coming from Android is the lack of a filesystem.

Bang paths an arcane configuration were what I remember most about UUCP. It worked though.
When you wanted to keep it real with no FPU!
Really was a fan of pfSense as an easy way to protect a network of many. Good to hear it's still a project.
Dumping H-1B workers maybe.
Page rank, etc. might influence timer thresholds.
I rest my case.

Wasn't this predicted by everyone?

It is not permissible to suggest impeachment for the first black president of the US. That's was/is his "get out of jail card".
