While things are better, your post also points out a really big problem: An AAA title with the kind of hype Skyrim had doesn't work, at least not if you want to run the 64 bit version. Once people hear about that, and hear that the games have a 100% chance of working in Windows... which system are they going to choose? Going with Linux is all well and good right until you need to have a Windows machine ANYWAY for the one game you want to play with or at the same time as your friends.
And if you're booting into Windows anyway for that game, may as well continue doing so for other games to avoid breaking up your workflow all the time.
People don't understand caricatures anymore, and I am not sure what happened to change that. Now everything is taken as literal truth, offhand remarks are thought to have been planned and meticulously worded over the course of years with no possibility of using imprecise words or terms.
It is the Age of Offense, where people seem to only be truly happy if they've discovered at least two new ways of being offended every day.
Even in unexpected situations there is no 'either-or' scenario; the car will quickly plan a whole bunch of solutions, and there is no way ALL of them will end with someone dead. It MAY choose to crash into a brick wall at a lowered speed, inflating the airbag and likely leaving the driver concussed at worst but everyone alive.
There are too many things to be curious about. I know how to put computers together, have built my own since a guy I knew when I was 14 who worked for Digital helped me put in a second HDD in my store-bought computer and took the time to point out the different parts.
My car had a flat some years back. I had a general idea of what to do, but I ended up having to get a friend to come give me a hand anyway with the details of how to most easily get the car propped up on a jack and so on. I suspect I can do it myself next time it happens, but I'd never had reason to actually tinker with it before.
The old saying that time is money also applies; getting things repaired or replaced has become so relatively cheap that we quickly end up spending more time than it's worth if we try to figure out the problem and fix it ourselves.
That the police officer is shot. Considering he's likely to wear body armor he is also less likely to die from any random gunshot compared to an unarmored innocent civilian.
Guy comes out. Looks confused. Starts turning - possibly to say something to someone in the house, I don't know. Cops open fire from across the street and from the partial cover of their police cars. Innocent man dies.
If I am misrepresenting what happened please correct me.
Considering it hasn't happened yet with people watching movies on fiber connections I can't see 5G being all that revolutionary in what entertainment IS.
Video games didn't become a thing for everyone and their grandmother until well into the 90s. In the days of the Amiga, the NES, Genesis etc., computers and gaming were the territory of the geeks and nerds. Who ironically were stereotyped as skinny little twigs compared to the football team's quarterback.
Forget about being placed in the rain, the drone is flying THROUGH the rain with those boxes. Waterproof container? That just adds to the weight the drone has to carry.
If the phone loses connection to the router for one reason or another, falls back to cellular, and then is stuck downloading so it doesn't appear 'free' to switch back to wifi?
If it downloaded 12 GB overnight, let's be generous and say in the span of 12 hours so it's 1 GB per hour, WTF was it actually downloading? There's no way text and images posted in that time span is going to add up to that much data, and just how many news videos would it take to use that much data?
Well sure, the computers are programmed by people with the time and resources to sit in a calm environment and set parameters for how to handle an emergency. It doesn't matter that those same people would panic and make split-second bad decisions in the actual emergency.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, that's why. Give the poor the infrastructure to educate themselves and properly apply for jobs and you help them feed themselves.
At the point where he is repairing computers that Apple WILL NOT repair themselves I don't care if the batteries are legit or counterfeit. He is not costing Apple anything.
Came here to say exactly this. If the people that remain offline are in inaccessible areas that you usually need a full group of sherpas and a week's worth of supplies to go visit in a Tibetan monastery then maybe, just maybe, it's not exactly cost effective to bury a fiber cable all the way up there.
And I don't mean just cost effective in this quarter but in this century.

Or a headache, or stress, or having slept badly, or someone talking to you ...
How many books are about stuff other than a guy encountering some problems, solving the problems and getting laid as a result?

Hi Poettering.

Why did a hundred million people suddenly start eating more?
Chemtrails. Or the illuminati. Maybe the lizard overlords in the shadow government started fattening us all up.
Sad thing is there are people who will actually believe such statements, sigh.

So does the water, of course.

The Olympic athletes who throw a hissyfit over only getting bronze or silver should take a long, hard look at his speech and then their own behavior.
There is a trend of filming your speedometer while going WAY over the speed limit on city roads. In cars, not on bikes.

It's been decades since the machines got a spellchecker able to correctly spell 'infallible'.

Culture. Some cultures don't allow women to do much other than cook food and make babies.
Ahh, that makes sense. They're trying to create an exponential growth in a finite population and that'll never happen.
