That's why I'm sticking with a GUI that pledges never to change. It really does make us feel like idiots when we update our software and everything is changed around because an interface designer got bored. It takes us a while to understand and get used to such changes. We feel like idiots when we have to constantly relearn things. Sticking with Cinnamon makes us feel clever, we always know exactly how to do what we want.
No, I can't really see it. I also value my privacy so I don't think their offer will work for me. I've got friends doing this and they only get an store credit card for $5 every 3 months, not really worth it IMHO!
They have an excellent range of clever products, like tablets, power banks, external storage, headphones, and other devices, conveniently at a good price. I hope they have a store presence here, waiting for that stuff to ship (and avoiding counterfeiters) is a pain.
So instead of watching the road in front of them, some drivers will be watching a clock on their dashboard and waiting for it to hit 0 then blindly flooring it. I mean, these people are probably the target market for this car. I can already think of a few people I already know that will probably instantly want one.
I experience that but am happy with it, because the game is fun. Yes, console doesn't have ultra high fidelity and a million tweakable options, but I prefer simplicity and function over complexity and troubleshooting. I used to love PC for those reasons exactly so I can understand, but after a while I got tired of the troubleshooting.
Which is why I stick to consoles. Because I can actually play my games guaranteed whenever I want. No OS troubles, driver troubles, compatibility troubles, etc etc.
They might want to consider giving the extra filtering functionality given to Verified Account users to everyone else so such chaff can be more widely filtered out.
Other countries understandably want to assert control over their own data and keep citizens' data from being handed over to foreign countries at their whim. Companies want control over clients' data in the same way, especially when it is part of the agreement that clients are to ultimately have say over who can look at their data (such as private family pictures stored in the cloud under trust for backup purposes only, as an example). I think this is the concern, the "control over the web" bogeyman is not the issue here.
I'm thinking I hope it sends a message that I did not upgrade a single one of mine or my family's licenses. Not that we use Windows, but if we did, I would not endorse the changes they are making and the ugly service and telemetry hooks, as well as the predatory approach with UWP and the Windows Store.
Rather than wait until someone notices a large margin of error, why not install immobile beacons in key locations that constantly monitor their locations and report back any differences?

I'm actually *not* hiding a desire to do better things with my time

Fits all my and family's needs. Most of my GUI apps are GTK but QT ones fit in fine.
.....is what they're thinking I'm sure. They probably destroy the VM after using the tool anyway.

Which is why I find myself going online less and less lately. Hooray!
The whole reason I went with consoles was to avoid compatibility issues and have the guarantee that if I pop in a disc it will work.
But yes, essentially a PC: http://www.eurogamer.net/artic...
Both parties are quite guilty here

Behind concrete walls, inside a Faraday cage, no mics, in fact just go back to paper.

The game is a blast. I'm having a great time, as I did back with Starflight on the Genesis, never before has time flown by so quickly.
More like Star flight
I'm not sure if many people will install this functionality to begin with aside from developers, the target may be too small to justify

But it's a slim model at costs more than the older model... Not how it's been done historically.
Why work to earn loyal customers when you can just tip the scales against your competition?

Cool :) That is for the info
That's just what I meant - thanks for clarifying
