When population density gets beyond a few 10s per km^2, this starts to seem pretty delusional. Can't wait for the ISP service area gerrymandering to start, if it hasn't already.
It appears that multiple third-party solutions to dealing with Dropbox on Linux exist, though I don't know if any are still actively developed. Hopefully these types of projects will see an uptick in activity.
At least something is being done; even though it seems amusing, having millions in cash (or cars) spawned on top of you at least once during every play session is why I stopped playing it.
In this case, it was a fairly new PC (built/purchased in 2015), but WU had to be disabled for some reason; excessive deference of updating must have introduced some sort of brokenness between the systems.
Except when it's not... silly fly/fade-in animations that make right clicking task bar (and other) entities a nuisance, etc... not saying it's all bad, just that it's far, far from perfect. They ever going to fix that recurring bit where the start menu just randomly stops working for a given user, never to work again until the next forced update or making a fresh user?
I know a lot of people regard X11 as a bit of a dinosaur, but for forwarding a single application on a remote system, a native shim to the Windows GUI would make remote administration a whee bit less clunky on slow/high latency links... compared to full RDP session, at least.
I also know that various remote application services can do similar things (e.g. Citrix), but since we're already talking about a potential B-movie teleporter accident...
USB in its current form cannot be used efficiently for this. There is no provision for DMA between the connected devices and the host system, among other issues. Also, the PCIe 3.0 x4 of a thunderbolt 3 port should yield something like 40gbit/s transfers, which is faster than any USB specification (implemented or not) to date.
I was just musing on this last night... programmers are too busy trying to figure out how to waste the spare CPU cycles afforded by the current hardware generation to worry about solving real problems that could have been (or already have been) solved decades ago.
most likely supports smtp and imap, so you can use a 3rd party client with it... oddly, i haven't had any issues with those protocols, even when their webmail and other services die.

I don't believe most of us are deluded enough to believe we can fight past the battle of attrition against the dreaded "new shiny".
I'm going to... write a sternly worded letter of complaint!

So, if these are valued at $200, it should benefit the shareholders if I was to make them the lucrative offer of $500 per building, correct?
I was going to snark about their desire to have people link their bank accounts, which is relevant...
... you wouldn't download a car, would you? By this point, I'm convinced most of us would.
Have a machine at work still on 1607; disabled updates due to incessant issues, but after turning it back on recently, it refuses to update.
I find I lose sleep more from slower/erratic/exorbitantly expensive internet connections than any other quality thereof.

Second for AT2020 :) I like the Blues too, but I personally like my AT2020 on a mixer board.
At least out of the ones i've purchase in recent history, every one has had a power/activity indicator light.
As an actual shell goes, it's a horrible bloated monstrosity that is the exact opposite of the Unix philosophy.
Ah, good ol' "Do many things, while aspiring to mediocrity, except when I don't feel like it, or on Tuesdays."
but I might be lying.
What, you weren't satisfied with the two ASCII smiley faces?
Sign me up, Botty! Finally, someone getting us back to the good ol' days of Kazaa and 'oops i accidentally indexed my whole hard drive!'

... that the following may be true:
People are far more forgetful of the actions they've taken online and how they could be used by data/ad companies.
People aren't entirely likely to notice ads without having some reason (e.g. just having talked about it)
Data/ad companies are far better about targeting their results than they were in the past.
People love a good conspiracy. I know I do.
I should hope we can rectify this discrepancy with minimal resistance.
