I wonder why quoting relevant bits from the featured article hasn't picked up more in the era of paywalls and of news publishers' animosity toward Firefox Tracking Protection. The way The Atlantic words its adblock wall help page, for example, strongly implies that anti-tracking tools are as harmful to publishers as flat-out ad blocking. Publishers like this could in theory back to a different set of ads that don't stalk viewers across websites to "retarget" them by showing them ads for things they just bought, but they don't feel like doing so because only interest-based ads pay a high enough CPM.
Very few questions on Stack Overflow or any other Stack Exchange site require reputation to answer. The ones that require 110 reputation to answer have been "protected" because they have attracted low-quality answers from several other users that have since been deleted, often after they have appeared in Hot Network Questions. Even fewer protected questions are unanswered.

Disney's death has nothing to do with it. All of the Disney movies are works for hire
The definition of a "work made for hire" or "work of corporate authorship" in the copyright law of other countries may differ from that of the United States, particularly the EU countries whose Copyright Duration Directive formed the basis for the 1998 extension in the United States.
Mexico is nowhere near the sort of harmonization target that the European Union was for several reasons.
EU shares a language
At the time of the 1998 extension, the EU had two countries sharing English as its primary official and working language (though one is soon to leave).
EU is richer
The EU's GDP per capita is about four times Mexico's. This gives residents of EU countries on the whole more disposable income to purchase lawfully made copies of US works.
EU observes rule of the shorter term
The EU extension was worded in such a way that if a copyright expires in the country of first publication, it would expire in EU countries as well. Thus an extension was "needed" to prevent copyrights in US works from expiring in EU countries. Mexico doesn't have this rule of the shorter term.
When upholding the 1998 extension in Eldred v. Ashcroft, the Supreme Court did so on grounds that it was harmonizing the copyright term to that of a major market for U.S. works, specifically distinguishing it from the sort of "legislative misbehavior" that commons advocates would refer to as "perpetual copyright on the installment plan." At the time, the European Union had recently extended the term from life plus 50 years to life plus 70 years to reflect the trend to start a family later, as the rationale for life plus 50 in the first place had been the life of those heirs whom the author knew personally.
So to what major market would a third successive extension be billed as harmonizing? No good answer would probably mean the third strike shows "legislative misbehavior."
The wired network drop comes from the satellite modem. Use of satellite Internet is common in parts of the United States not well served by fiber, cable, or DSL.
As you switch your multichannel pay TV from cable to satellite, are you also planning to switch your Internet from cable to satellite? Enjoy paying overage penalties to your satellite ISP when your desktop or laptop computer running the most popular PC operating system decides to download gigabytes of feature updates because its publisher neglected to provide a GUI to change the media cost setting for Ethernet.
The unique selling points of a PC running Windows are games that A. available on Steam, B. worthwhile, C. not available for X11/Linux, D. not compatible with Wine, and E. not also available on PlayStation Store. I imagine that this set isn't very big. I'm interested in being proven wrong, but here's my reasoning: Asset flips (pre-made models in a pre-made framework with little or no distinctive gameplay) aren't worthwhile. Older games tend to be playable in Wine. Smaller developers of newer worthwhile games tend to make games available for X11/Linux in order to play medium fish in a small pond (X11/Linux compatible games) rather than small fish in a large pond (Windows compatible games). Larger developers tend to target PlayStation Store.
Just set the registry key to default your ethernet connection as metered
There's no GUI editor for this setting, and insider builds of the forthcoming Windows 10 Lean add an objectionable "feature" of lacking a registry editor.
Penalize bandwidth hogs for hogging bandwidth, not for accessing servers that happen not to have signed a zero-rating agreement with a particular ISP, and not for using dispreferred application protocols. An all-encompassing monthly cap that covers all traffic, as commonly implemented by satellite ISPs, is net neutral.
Such an ISP would stand to lose its franchise with the city come renewal time, and the city would instead switch to a competitor that agrees to refrain from abusive routing.
Since which Windows build has a metering rule been available for the wired Ethernet connection to a satellite modem? Last I checked, it was available for only for Wi-Fi, not for wired Ethernet. And since which Windows build has the user been able to input a metering rule that depends on the time of day, as many satellite providers have offered? Last I checked, it was either always metered or always unmetered.
And you still didn't answer my question
The answer was that the first objectionable new feature was forced automatic update downloads, without a compensating feature to mark a wired Ethernet connection as metered on a schedule, and that the second objectionable new feature was forced automatic update restarts, without a compensating feature to add preservation of otherwise unsaved state to all applications that ship with Windows. I don't understand why each of those is not an answer to your question.
linux only works in places where you can hide it from the users (severs, smartphones).
My cable modem runs on Linux. So does my wireless router.
And web browsers will tell you they're insecure for either A. asking for a password over cleartext HTTP, or B. using HTTPS and having a certificate that isn't signed by a major certificate authority because your modem or router lacks a fully qualified domain name. Besides, assuming "severs" was a typo for "servers", that's what the administration interface of the cable modem and wireless router are.
There's little incentive for manufacturers to use Linux over ChromeOS
X11/Linux can run Chrome, many offline-centric native applications that are ported to a native toolkit such as Qt or GTK+, and many Windows applications through Wine. Chrome OS can run only Chrome without first being put into a self-destructing "developer mode." The selling point of X11/Linux over Chrome OS is that it runs these offline-centric applications without self-destructing. The selling point of X11/Linux over Windows is no royalty payable to Microsoft if the device's screen is bigger than 8 inches diagonal visible image size.
Many of these thousands of games on Steam are fake games, tossed together in a weekend using unmodified or barely modified parts from Unity's Asset Store in an attempt to make money from Steam trading cards. Some reviewers refer to these as asset flips.
Now please do share, what "new feature" has kicked your dog that upset you so?
Feature update downloads that push the satellite Internet connection past the household's monthly data transfer quota and into overage fees. Built-in applications, such as Windows Notepad, that cannot preserve unsaved data across an overnight unattended restart.
What substantial deficiencies have you found in Windows Subsystem for Linux, other than the fact that Microsoft doesn't offer to install an X server to view the output of X clients running in WSL?
All medical equipment, all ATMs, every single factory automation system, every single biomedical device interfaces with windows.
"Interfaces with" is a very broad term. Anything that speaks a standard network protocol that an application made for or ported to Windows also speaks can be said to "interface with" Windows.
Microsoft account required, so only "free" in the sense that it doesn't cost money.
Without some form of authentication, how else should the offsite backup or web access feature ensure that only you can view or edit your notes? Other tools to back up your notes offsite, such as Dropbox and Google Keep, also require an account.

In Windows, Win32 is also a "subsystem" on top of the NT kernel. So WSL is no less native than Win32.
The wired network drop comes from the satellite modem. Use of satellite Internet is common in parts of the United States not well served by fiber, cable, or DSL.
E.g. Java 9 is not running on OS X 10.9.5.
What specific error message blocks compiling and running OpenJDK 9 on OS X 10.9 "Mavericks"?

That works for wireless connections. But since which Windows 10 build does it work for Ethernet (wired) connections?
The program doesn't run on Wine.
Which program is it, so we can Slashdot the program's AppDB entry with requests to get it working?
Now please do share, what "new feature" has kicked your dog that upset you so?
Feature update downloads that push the satellite Internet connection past the household's monthly data transfer quota and into overage fees. Built-in applications, such as Windows Notepad, that cannot preserve unsaved data across an overnight unattended restart.
POSIX
What substantial deficiencies have you found in Windows Subsystem for Linux, other than the fact that Microsoft doesn't offer to install an X server to view the output of X clients running in WSL?
All medical equipment, all ATMs, every single factory automation system, every single biomedical device interfaces with windows.
"Interfaces with" is a very broad term. Anything that speaks a standard network protocol that an application made for or ported to Windows also speaks can be said to "interface with" Windows.
Now as for health care stuff actually running on GNU/Linux, look at these free health record databases. The VA's VistA can run on anything that runs MUMPS, and there are distributions of the VistA that run on an Ubuntu VM.
The computer you're typing on was made because of Windows.
That's quite a "stretch" of logic, especially as I type this comment into a Lenovo ThinkPad X61 running Debian 9. Could you explain your reasoning?
Microsoft account required, so only "free" in the sense that it doesn't cost money.
