Chrome for Android didn't support ad blocking on unrooted devices last I checked. And even on desktop, anti-adblock firms have been sending DMCA letters to ad blocking tool publishers.
You are aware that Chromebooks have USB ports and can write to memory sticks / external HDDs, right?
So can laptops that come with GNU/Linux or Windows, which come with USB ports and and SD/microSD slots. But I didn't know devices with a Memory Stick slot were still being produced.
A file submitted to the Marketplace Web Service counts against the server-side throttling whether it is valid or not. A file rejected as invalid by a VBA macro before upload to MWS does not. In addition, macros allow completion of category names, condition names, and the like.
Some people are confident enough to replace socketed components, such as RAM and SSD, but not soldered ones, such as the power jack. I currently fall in this category and have had to have a Dell laptop's power jack repaired under warranty.
when the day comes and microsoft abandons java minecraft people will still be able to run it because it does not depend on any servers and markus made sure it has zero drm.
But how will people new to Minecraft obtain a lawfully made copy to run in a JVM? Microsoft will still own the copyright after it withdraws Minecraft (for Java platform) from distribution and will still have every right to issue notices of claimed infringement, followed by a lawsuit a month later like Nintendo did with those ROM sites a few weeks back.
But not compatible with X11/Linux applications unless you A. buy one of the few Chromebook models that support Crostini, B. risk accidental powerwashing on every boot, or C. open the case and turn the screw, after which point good luck getting the power jack fixed under warranty.
As other people have noted, it really needs some native app development capability and I don't see that happening in sub $200 machines.
Hardware-wise, I don't see how "sub $200 machines" can't develop native apps. I used to run DJGPP, a distribution of GCC for MS-DOS, on a 1990s PC with a 25 MHz 486SX CPU and 8 MB (that's 0.008 GB) of RAM. Perhaps the real reason why today's "sub $200 machines" can't develop native apps is that the manufacturer locks them down to prevent native app development, with the intent of selling services to replace the locked-out parts. Notice how only the most expensive Chromebooks nowadays can run Crostini, the container to run GNU/Linux applications inside Chrome OS, and in "developer mode", the firmware makes the powerwash command more prominent than actually booting.
So this means schools that deploy Chromebooks need to carefully consider what students taking "Computer Science I" are supposed to use to complete their assignments. Borrowing time on school computers after school and hoping students have some way to get home after the school buses have left for the day isn't practical for all or probably even most students. Or are high school computer science classes instead supposed to follow the computer-free, formal-verification-oriented structure described in "On the Cruelty of Really Teaching Computer Science" by E. W. Dijkstra? He suggested using a programming language for which nobody has written a compiler or interpreter, such that students are expected to produce a pencil and paper proof that a program meets the functional specification instead of testing the program on a computer:
Right from the beginning, and all through the course, we stress that the programmer's task is not just to write down a program, but that his main task is to give a formal proof that the program he proposes meets the equally formal functional specification. While designing proofs and programs hand in hand, the student gets ample opportunity to perfect his manipulative agility with the predicate calculus. Finally, in order to drive home the message that this introductory programming course is primarily a course in formal mathematics, we see to it that the programming language in question has not been implemented on campus so that students are protected from the temptation to test their programs.
a n00b using big brother doesn't have to think for a second how he will get his pictures from his phone on to his laptop or the printer and wether his stuff is lost if his notebook shatters
Which becomes replaced with worry about losing his stuff if his cloud storage bill payment doesn't go through, or about losing access once he hits the ISP's data quota for the month.
How good is Google Sheets at running the client-side product feed validation macro in the Excel workbook that Amazon provides to professional sellers on its platform? This macro is written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and lets a seller test a product feed for common problems before submitting the file to Amazon's server for authoritative validation.
I think, if you ever used a Chromebook, that you are not playing with LInux native applications in Developer Mode.
For some, this is because developer mode is too easy to accidentally powerwash unless you're willing to risk voiding what's left of your hardware warranty by turning the firmware write-protect screw. They're waiting for the majority of Chromebooks in use to support Crostini, a container to run GNU/Linux native applications within verified Chrome OS.
And... why not to mix them in the same machine? The heavy things running in the new LInux compartments and the Graphical stuff in the Browser?
Because many Chromebooks still in use have a kernel older than Linux 3.15. Crostini's container technology reportedly requires a kernel-level containment feature that wasn't rolled out to all file systems until then.
An adjustment layer is a layer that is created by applying filters to the layers below it and automatically updates when the layers below it change. GIMP doesn't have adjustment layers. Photoshop has had them since version 4. Not CS4, just 4. That's two decades ago.
The filtering you mention conceptually resembles sslstrip, which prompted HSTS. A mail user agent (MUA) might implement an analogous countermeasure against STARTTLS stripping by warning the user if STARTTLS to a particular server stops working:
MUA connects to mail server over one network. STARTTLS works. MUA records this fact. MUA connects to same mail server over a different network. STARTTLS fails. MUA warns user that a mail server that once supported STARTTLS no longer does and drops the connection until further notice.
There's even a draft proposal called MTA-STS for a mail server to require STARTTLS for further connections.
Research time would be better spent trying to establish why employees would want to work while commuting knowing they won't be compensated for that.
One hypothesis to check in this research is whether 1. unpaid work during the commute increases the likelihood of promotion or even retention, and 2. employees perceive their situation as such.
Your rump is the part of your body in contact with the chair, mat, etc. when seated. From top to bottom: head, shoulders, chest, belly, rump. Other names for this part include "bum", "butt", and "ass". But you can't spell the name of the 45th President of the United States without "rump".

Mozilla discontinued Firefox OS on phones, and it never expanded to the laptop form factor in the first place.
You should be entitled to a full refund of Chrome's purchase price.
That'd be fine if there were a Firefoxbook.
True, but Microsoft does own Minecraft, and it can stop selling the right to download the version of Minecraft made for the Java platform.

ChromeOS is Linux.

Game consoles are for running vanilla versions of well-known games. They aren't for a developer's commercial debut or for enthusiast-maintained mods.

And Japanese kawaii originally meant "pitiful" before "cute". But what causes some words to be used so as to escape pejoration?
The 2-player mode in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is interlaced, as is all of RPM Racing (Radical Psycho Machines).

Or the user could configure the MUA to connect on the alternate port that uses TLS from byte one: 465 for SMTP, 993 for IMAP, or 563 for NNTP.
How long in minutes does a daily restore of your working environment onto a Chromebook in developer mode take?
What can the train's Wi-Fi see in an IMAP or SMTP connection past the STARTTLS?

Forgive me for sounding like ELIZA, but let me ask my question again based on the terms you used in your comment:
How did these words in particular acquire an added vulgar and/or pejorative meaning and other words not?
If you're logged in to Slashdot, you can click that white ball next to someone's user name and assign "friend" or "foe". Then set up your user settings to apply a modifier to scores of posts by friends and foes.
What gives words like "cooter" and "box" offensive meaning and "vulva" and "vagina" not?
