Yes, we do have true white LEDs. The problem is the efficiency isn't up there, and it's based on a new nano-material (I can't remember if it was selenium or tungsten-based.)
We've got remote phosphor tech that works great for producing green - otherwise Cree wouldn't be hitting 300+ lumens per watt (given the lumen is weighted at 550-555nm green)
Also, green light is great for plants. Don't let old science fool you. Why do you think an HPS lamp works so well despite about 80% of its visible light output being green and yellow?
You are talking about an LED tech that's still being developed. There was an article on it just a couple months ago, in fact. It's got some viability to it but the efficiency is still rather low.
Since we've had much more success in the past year or so understanding the watercooler effect on LEDs, we've hit incredible efficiencies with current InGaN blue LEDs, to the point where we can make white LEDs with almost 50% efficiency (as noted by the 300 lm/w noted in TFS, which was hit by Cree at a correlated color temp of 5150K, 85C junction temp, 350mA forward current.)
Right now, thanks to that, development on the nano-tech LED stuff is really lagging behind.
" If and when you screw up existing stated design behavior, you have not created an "upgrade""
Really? So my dicking around with LEDs and discovering how to make them operate without a power driver at all isn't a fucking upgrade?
What shit world do you live in? I just cut complexity and parts costs down 98% and it still performs the exact function it is intended to perform. In what world is that not considered a fucking upgrade?
These are guest-created hotspots. Likely provided by A LICENSED CELLULAR CARRIER. You are attacking my ability to connect to something I paid for in an attempt to get me to pay YOU for the same thing.
This is a violation of FCC rules, tortious interference of contract, and CFAA bait, on top of a RICO suit.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen! You need SPECIAL DRIVERS in OSX to run BASIC HARDWARE ANY OTHER OS NATIVELY SUPPORTS OUT OF THE BOX, because it's a special version (with no extra features, it's just APPLE LOCKED BECAUSE APPLE OWNS YOU.)
And this is why in a corporate network environment with several million users, we have exclusively blocked access to Apple anything. Closed-minded sheep are not the future.
So, IOW, your prior employers are moving to Mac because they lost the REAL programmers that can do this shit in a real programming language, like ASM.
Gotcha.
Meanwhile. I've got an OS that is feature-parity with OSX and fits on a floppy, with a bootup time FROM A FLOPPY faster than your 5,000x the size bloated OS.
Son, if you only did *REAL* IT, you'd know better than to champion Apple *ANYTHING*
Yea, I was an Apple repair tech. Let me tell you just how wrong you are, starting with two out of three machines coming off the line faulty off the bat and needing to be refurbished.
You aren't paying for the name, you're paying for the fuckups they have to constantly fix because they cheaped out on hardware.
SIXTY SIX PERCENT FAILURE RATE OFF THE MANUFACTURING LINE.
Then we got shipments of logic boards filled with SAND. Most of those logic boards were DOA.
Son, you don't know what the fuck a 'durable' machine is. Your ass got *LUCKY* and there's no other way to put it.
" And, most of the office software for Linux isn't constantly changing the UI,"
No, but plenty of Linux Desktops are changing the UI before the applications can catch up, which is just as confusing. Then we have the shit that is systemd, that wanna-be registry for Linux.
" You have people who have nothing in common other than a mental disorder"
If you are going to call the mindset of drag queens, which are entertainment in our LGBT community, a mental disorder, then we reserve the right to call Chris Rock, George Carlin, and other straight people a mental disorder as well.
Ooooh, good fucking point. You're right on that. I had HUGE CRTs (82 born) for over half of my life (I only ditched my 21" Trinitron 7 years ago and went LCD, so 25 out of 32 years of my life I've been exposed to CRT flyback scream.)
But, I can still 'hear/feel' it. I don't think I've lost that hearing totally, but there's definitely a sensitivity gap in that range.
Given 3.1 is just a shell and not an actual OS, not a surprise. 3.1 still utilized all of the DOS OS, which wasn't very large at all, even at DOS 6.22/7.

I already have LEDs that run directly off AC, no power electronics required, persistent phosphor to kill flicker. Had it almost a full year, now.
Nobody wants to pick up the tech from me.

If you can't see how this advances the science of physics (Auger effect is now fairly understood as a side effect of this) I can't help you.
PWM is NOT AC. Whatever makes you think that needs to be burned and destroyed.

"On the other hand, as a modern (japanese) equivalent of Space Quest,"
Nope. SD is pretty much Cowboy BeBop with Excel Saga mixed in.
"I am an electronics technician and have been one since 1964 and I've never heard of that nomenclature.
It's 2.2 K, and 1.5 M."
WRONG! Example, Ceramic caps. SMD resistors (because they don't have a color code discernible on a 2mm x 1m package.)
You're saying you've never used a single ceramic cap or SMD resistor, EVER?
I think it more likely you're lying your ass off given your UID.
Guess what was authorized?

"definitely wouldn't have been usable on Win 7"
Excuse me? Tell that to a P4 1.8GHz single-core system with under 1GB RAM.
Runs just fucking fine, TYVM.
Do you not know how to optimize a system, child?

More secured OS? Which is why it's first to fall at any hackathon?
Give me a break. Now you're starting to sound like a shill.

" Spend $130 to get the CPU fan replaced at the Apple Store (which was what it cost two years ago)"
That you'll pay that much for a *FAN* that I can get for $0.50 on alibaba.com shows a lack of serious critical thinking in your choice of hardware.
The labor on replacing the fan isn't even worth $10.
And people wonder why I don't harbor much respect for Mac users.

No, but plenty of Linux Desktops are changing the UI before the applications can catch up, which is just as confusing. Then we have the shit that is systemd, that wanna-be registry for Linux.

That's nothing compared to some of the crap the 'local' truckers here in California have to handle.
"I can't imagine a reason to lower ticket prices."
MY FUCKING TAX DOLLARS PAID FOR THAT STADIUM AND THAT'S THE END OF STORY.
Problem with your brain and logic, sir? You seem to have pretty much zero common sense.
"The point of the blackouts is to extort money from the fans for an overpriced live experience"
Not to mention allowing almost every stadium to lie to and gauge patrons out of their money by falsely representing how much liquid their cups hold.
