The only hole I see in the analogy is that autopilots (as seen on commercial airliners) are typically both tested quite extensively, and multiply redundant. Suffering for being unaware of some undocumented change in the way it operates in the latest version seems to correlate painfully well.
I have seen some very high-quality laser printouts (from very expensive printers), but a dye-sublimation printer might be more what you're looking for. Relatively expensive compared to inkjet printers, and even color laser printers, but I do see a few around Amazon in the 500-600 USD range.
On the flip side, legitimate call centers and technical support firms need to be able to provide the callee a consistent contact point. Can't personally advocate nuking it entirely, but they (telcos) really should be more careful with their crap.
When I was rather young, I used to occupy much of my time reading such non-fiction works:) Definitely helped me form a lot of mental connections that help me to this day, even if the actual subject matter was largely irrelevant to anything I would ever do.
Maybe not so if you're allergic to filling out forms, but it seems not to care very much about the information provided. It has long been possible to do this, even without MSDN or Technet. Sometimes the evaluation disks are distributed with learning material, also.
Regarding development, Windows Professional versions typically meet all of the requirements, unless you're trying to interact with stuff that simply does not exist in consumer Windows versions.
Can't find anything directly relevant on Slashdot, but here is an example from over a year ago: https://www.securify.nl/advisory/SFY20170102/authentication_bypass_vulnerability_in_western_digital_my_cloud.html
They do claim that it was fixed via a firmware update, so I can't help but wonder if this is just a sloppy regression.
Might have gone with "Elive apt-get updates after...", you know, because it's Debian based, and not Gentoo. I crack myself up. Sorry, I'll show myself out.
As is the ability to reduce the eye-searing blaze of overabundant fluorescent and LED fixtures that typically exceed the minimum legal requirements by a huge margin. When the average background field of the ceiling and walls is as bright as, or brighter than your monitor, it is very bothersome. This is obviously in the context of a circumstance where one's primary duties are on computers.
I used to blame WordPress outright, but I eventually learned that the blame lies squarely with the users assuming everything 'just works', as well as with plugin developers getting complacent about people using their plugins sanely.
Yes, as I have access to a multi-system hardware based console that provides compatible hardware (retro duo). Would be unfortunate if Nintendo were to make actual inroads on suppressing used, pre-always-on-drm, game sales.
This board is from a similar product ("retro trio", which also provides operation for Genesis/Master System), which is essentially the same concept.

Reminds me of the spoof O'reilly book covers "How to Copy-paste from StackOverflow" and "Googling the Error Message"
I have always likened the appearance to a well-worn copper coin.

Alexa: "I like you, as a friend."
Might extend that with e.g. "... as a result of an agreement with Anheuser Busch"

... that they aren't trying to StrongARM them into compliance. Or maybe they are...
I can't come up with a good pun for the DEC angle, but I think we'll live.

For want of mod points, I must give you kudos instead. Made me snort-laugh at work.

Primarily regarding learning, obtaining a 180 day evaluation copy is trivial:

They did have a hard-coded back door that made it onto /. though.

I'm going to allow it. Mainly because I get to imagine a crazed iThing user running around screaming à Y ' © à Y à Y à à à Y ' f à Y O E à Y O E à Y O E
"Um sorry guys, I had my phone on the dash, and it slid into the A pillar when I took a hard turn..."
I wonder what regulatory skirting/ignoring lies in wait for this.
...y business. That is all.

Not the practice, but rather the need for the mechanisms that wind up supporting such practice.

Alternative future: AOL is the new SCO, and continues to harass the goog for decades for trying to knock off its model.
It's more like a pocket of smog, so I'm told.
I am willing to accumulate and maintain a list of exceptions, if only because I found words/names like this somewhat amusing.
