Eudora had useful features others still do not have. Finely detailed configuration of the UI, floating windows, access to the complete raw email, the "Who" column, detailed control of toolbars, separation of attachments from the messages (a seriously useful tool) and simple, powerful filtering and sorting.
One feature that was very useful was Message Redirection which would discretely rewrite an email message to another recipient while making the message look like it came from the original sender.
Skype for Business is also almost impossible to remove. Unlike regular Skype, it can't be "uninstalled" in the normal way and requires registry hacking plus changing security privileges on certain executables to render it inoperative.
That executable, by the way, happens to be named "lync.exe" and many of the supporting files are similarly named. They look nothing like regular Skype.
No matter, though, Microsoft Teams is replacing Skype for Business, which itself "replaced" Lync, which itself replaced Microsoft Communicator.
Tell me again how lining the bottom of a vehicle with thousands of Lithium Ion batteries is somehow safer than having a tank of gasoline, diesel, hydrogen, ethanol, propane, and LNG.
Yep. Like a marketing company that wanted to display product concepts in a way that the user could not save the image or print it.
Print Screen aside, it didn't occur to them that the user could just take a photograph of the screen. This was before smart phones but after digital cameras and the Print Screen function (just hit PrtSc, open Paint, and Edit...Paste) had been there for at least a decade.
I drive a vehicle with the "Honda Sensing" option. Honda goes out of their way to make sure you don't rely on it. Lane keeping doesn't function under 40 MPH. Lane departure works above 30 MPH. Road departure works most of the time. Pre-emptive braking makes odd decisions but overall will keep you from rear-ending someone. Adaptive cruise control cuts out when you go slower than 20 MPH (my main complaint) with a loud, screaming tone. I hope someone finds a way to hack stop-and-go cruise control into Hondas some day. It makes traffic congestion a non-issue for my commute. In retrospect, Nissan Leaf or Subarus are better for heavy traffic since they have stop-and-go cruise control.
Honda is taking the pussy-foot approach to semi-autonomous vehicles. Seeing how accurate and reliable Honda Sensing is in real life, they made the right decision. It makes dozens of stupid decisions on every trip I take.
I ordered the first model OLPC XO-1 at 4:00 AM opening day.
It was exciting, and the give-one-get-one idea made that $400 a reasonably altruistic purchase even though it was supposed to be a $100 computer.
The dual mode (reflective/backlit) screen was great but for a few stuck pixels. I didn't want to burden the project with my nitpicking so I kept it.
I really wanted to like it, and since I was a long-time Cyrix MediaGX processor user I thought that the evolved AMD Geode derivative should have been a performance boost.
It wasn't a slow laptop but the designed-by-committee Sugar desktop software crippled its performance dramatically. It sought to solve a problem nobody had with a solution nobody wanted. I optimized it as much as I could and eventually gave up and put a more conventional X Windows desktop on it and lost interest.
I still own it. The newer models didn't interest me once the Netbooks and Google Chromebooks came out.
It looks like Confirmation Bias has reared its ugly head again.
This is an anecdotal, one-time occurrence which has no scientific meaning.
This is likely an allergy this guy has, but unless and until the scientific method is applied, e.g. having a double-blind placebo-controlled study done, the idea that hot peppers can cause brain injury is completely meaningless.
The first big performance stumble Macs on PowerPC was the huge external L3 Cache chip that was grafted to some PowerMac G4s.
*sigh*
Today, Intel achieves middling multiprocessor performance because some high-end models of processors have a very large dedicated L2 cache per core (at great expense) and by loading up the processor pipeline via HyperThreading. Lower-end models and consumer models have shared L2 cache and the lowest end, e.g. Pentium Anniversary Edition, omit HyperThreading entirely.
Does VP9 hardware acceleration automatically include WebM? I'm assuming so because their web site still mentions VP9 all over the place years after WebM came out.
Forgive me for sounding naive, since I've also been told to deploy memcached in this fashion, knowing that this is insecure, while asking why is memcached deployed without requiring authenticated BY DEFAULT?
I feel naive because this is a so-simple-it's-obvious solution.

Eudora is 21 years older than Snow Leopard.

How do Bird scooters work during acqua alta? Aren't they dangerous in water?
Oops, nevermind. Wrong Venice.

At first, I was worried this would be what a dictator would do, as he said that he has "authority" to do things like this but had rarely done it.
After thinking about for a moment I realized that this is GNU's version of an Executive Order.
It looks like the "dry Lake Michigan" movie trope (I, Robot; Johnny Mnemonic, etc) is actually going to come true.

Absolutely false.
Try using the scientific method next time.
It's Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
Nobody's listening to you. You aren't that interesting. Don't flatter yourself.

It sure would be nice if they were to choose RISC-V.
Ummm, nevermind. I'm conflating containers and codecs.

That's not how logic works. I guess it's working out for you somehow.
Every Orange Pi performs better than Raspberry Pi when it comes to storage and networking. There you are.
Source: I own every Raspberry Pi and four different Orange Pi models and have benchmarked each.
Orange Pi is cheaper and doesn't cheap out on the storage and networking like the Raspberry Pi does.
Network AND storage over a shared USB 2 bus?
Nah, no thanks.
There is going to be so much carnage in the next decade.
I anticipate that California, New York, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia will ban autonomous vehicles before 2020.
Wow, there's too much cynicism here for a valid concept.
Have you ever tried to set up OpenStack or CloudStack?
I'm managed bare metal, cloud, and on-premises cloud installations. Why wouldn't you want to be able to manage a data center from one spot?
I only mention it because I have personally witnessed outages being blamed on nonexistent DDoS attacks.
It has been the new excuse for screwing up a rehost/migration for years.
