If you attempt to directly access cached URLs, you're hostile, same answer.
How you define "cached URLs" could determine how much money you have to spend fielding support calls from legitimate users who have bookmarked a document on your site.
Moving closer doesn't help if it is part of your job description to visit clients' land or haul more work equipment than will fit in a reasonable bike trailer.
I understand you think Elkim Roa might be hen-pecked. But if he* tells his wife to go screw herself, and she takes that as a hint to discover vibrating massagers, he might not get any for a while.
My job is 20 miles and 4 valleys away. To add to that a vehicle "in good working order and an acceptable license" are required as a term of my employment.
I can think of a few environmentalist cranks who would encourage people in such a situation to get a different job.
Which doesn't help when the app is proprietary, and its developer responds to "actual fucking code" with an actual fucking lawsuit alleging infringement of copyright. See, for example, The Tetris Company with clones and Nintendo with Pokemon and Metroid mods.
However, Wikipedia policy doesn't say, "No citations to unreliable sources allowed anywhere" It's more "mark it as unreliable if you really need to use it".
I think the expectation is that people use "this has sat in the article for a month without a reliable citation" as an excuse to remove a contentious claim from an article.
By teaching the controversy. If one set of reliable sources says one thing, but another set of sources of comparable reliability says something else, the article can mention disagreement on facts. But editors must be assess "comparable reliability" carefully to avoid giving undue weight to fringe viewpoints.
There are other guidelines dealing with material within an article
Very true. But each paragraph of an article also has to be verifiable. Otherwise, a paragraph supported solely by unreliable sources should be removed. This goes double if the subject is a living person. As Wikipedia:Verifiability puts it: "Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed. Please immediately remove contentious material about living people that is unsourced or poorly sourced."
An editor I met at a recent London "Wikimeet" said he'd used the Daily Mail as a source in the last week, as it was the only source available for the subject he was writing about.
According to Wikipedia's notability guideline, if no reliable sources can be found about a subject, any article about it would fail Wikipedia's verifiability policy. For this reason, the subject shouldn't have an article in the first place. That's what Wikipedia means by "non-notable": there is no way to make a verifiable article about the subject.
Subnotebooks that "just work" with GNU/Linux [...] below 13 inches
Litebook?
From the summary: "The new 2.9-pound Litebook uses Intel's Celeron N3150 processor and ships with a 14.1-inch display". Good for some, not for people like me who want a subnotebook.
So any company that's selling things needs to first verify from its customers whether they can properly use it or not, failing which, they should refuse to sell.
I don't. I use my laptop or tablet and watch YouTube live.
Doing without a living-room-sized monitor might work for the use case of someone who lives alone, doesn't often entertain visiting friends and family, and doesn't play (genuine copies of) retro video games.
In January 2013, Acer officially ended production of their Aspire One series due to declining sales as a result of consumers favoring tablets and Ultrabooks over netbooks.
I guess my user story differs from that of most such "consumers".
I now use an Asus Zenbook which runs Linux perfectly.
For the type of work I need to get done, I don't really want a subnotebook
Then your user story differs from mine. I want a subnotebook because I use commute time on public transit to and from my first job to make additional time to work on my second job, which is from home. And if I'm carrying a laptop everywhere I go, I find it more convenient to carry a smaller one. I currently use a Dell Inspiron mini 1012 and worry about what will be available for me to use once it finally bites the dust.
The other thing Nestle was being blamed for was the unsanitary condition of water in shitholes like Pakistan. Quite right - it's Nestle's fault that third world countries don't know/care about sanitary water and other such standards.
I'll see your sarcasm and split the difference: It was Nestle's fault for over-promoting formula despite a lack of sanitation that Nestle knew about or reasonably should have known about. This goes hand in hand with the lack of labeling in local languages, particularly a warning that clean water is required to prevent harm to the baby.
once Sony started outsourcing their manufacturing to China, I lost any reason to prefer them over no-name brands, but then again, I haven't had a TV for 9 years.
Where would one buy an affordable living-room-sized monitor for composite, analog RGB, and DVI/HDMI sources that isn't "a TV"?
The most extreme boycott list I have seen has been from RMS, and if one really lives that way, one would pretty much have to live like the Amish. I'm sorry, but I'll pass on that one.
The philosophy underlying the tech choices of Amish groups actually has a lot in common with Mr. Stallman's philosophy: being free of dependencies controlled by a third party.
1. Instead of a laptop, you can buy an AIO and a Steam Link or other thin client. Put the AIO in one room, and put the thin client in the living room and use it to remotely access the AIO over your home LAN. By Stormwatch's logic, an AIO and a thin client would last longer than a laptop before breaking. Thus they'd likely be cheaper than two laptops: one to use now and one to use later after the first breaks.
2. An AIO and an external UPS might be cheaper than a laptop.
Why would kids do that? Last minute "oh shit I forgot to do the homework"?
Eagerness to complete the assignment during the ride home from school in order to have more play time after school. Or ability to complete the assignment at all if the assignment is assigned today at the end of class and due tomorrow at the start of class and tonight is the family's shopping night.
Not having to buy a separate computer for your work desk and your living room, as you can instead carry it back and forth.
That's related to the "poor durability" bit I had mentioned.
And what forces poor people to buy baby food that they can't afford, regardless of who's marketing it to them?
Nestle has been accused of two things. One is failing to label infant formula in local languages. The other is getting mothers "addicted" to formula by providing it without charge to the maternity ward for just long enough that the mother stops producing milk.
Almost any intel chromebook can be wiped and linux can be installed
Until someone else in the household turns it on and presses Space as prompted then Enter as prompted to initiate a factory reset. Installing GNU/Linux on a Chromebook requires putting it in developer mode, and the firmware of a Chromebook in developer mode begs at every power-on to be switched back to "run the Google Chrome web browser and nothing else" mode.
Microsoft is going after Google's Chromebooks that are very popular in the education space
Laptop usually means: small screen, crappy keyboard, awful trackpad, poor durability, and little expandability, but more expensive than an equivalent desktop machine.
But for this expense, you gain two things:
1. Ability to get work done while riding transit or in a waiting room, as opposed to just reading a book. This is important for K-12 schoolchildren, who ride a school bus because they are too young to drive. 2. Not having to buy a separate computer for your work desk and your living room, as you can instead carry it back and forth.

There's a woman in my gym, an ex-marine
Did you mean "retired marine"? Because "ex-marine" makes it sound like her discharge from the corps was less than honorable.
Moving closer doesn't help if it is part of your job description to visit clients' land or haul more work equipment than will fit in a reasonable bike trailer.
There is exactly one death per person.
True, but there are between zero and one deaths during the period of this study per study subject.

That or English is a second language to the asker because the asker happens to have been born outside the territory of the Five Eyes.

deletionism is contributing to the ruin of Wikipedia.

Correct. A merchant can't fulfill the implied warranty of merchantability without understanding its market to some extent.
I don't. I use my laptop or tablet and watch YouTube live.
Doing without a living-room-sized monitor might work for the use case of someone who lives alone, doesn't often entertain visiting friends and family, and doesn't play (genuine copies of) retro video games.
Subnotebooks that "just work" with GNU/Linux used to be easy to find until the end of 2012
I have a subnotebook (Acer Aspire One) that "just works" with Linux and has for a long time
From Wikipedia's article:
I guess my user story differs from that of most such "consumers".
I now use an Asus Zenbook which runs Linux perfectly.
I have no experience with that make and model, but its official web site looks clunky and pretentious. It opens with an automatically playing video larger than the window, it isn't obvious how to proceed, and the layout doesn't fit in a web browser window that's been snapped to fit half the width of a 1920x1080 pixel monitor. Finally at the top left, "ASUS recommends Windows".
For the type of work I need to get done, I don't really want a subnotebook
Then your user story differs from mine.

Ability to get work done while riding transit

That's related to the "poor durability" bit I had mentioned.
In what way?
Children completing homework assignments while riding in the back seat of mom's car or a yellow school bus are roadwarriors.
And what forces poor people to buy baby food that they can't afford, regardless of who's marketing it to them?
