I'm glad all these children have smartphones though. It means they will never be any threat to my job. Nobody who grows up addicted to one will learn to code or be any good with real computing.
But when you and your generation are old and ready to retire, the world will fall into a shambles.
I remember that in the late 1990ies, there was a project of an artist to build a simple toaster all on his own, without using any other's product: Going out and mine the iron ore and the copper, melt them in selfbuilt ovens, using self burned charcoal, welding them with selfmade tools into sheets and wires etc.pp.. As far as I remember, after ten years, he wasn't even halfway into any results. It's the same with the information you get. You don't have 10 years time to hunt down all the facts that lead to that information. You have to rely on others to provide you with facts you will never have any chance to check for yourself.
That sort of reminds me of Gingery's Book Series where he tells how to build a complete machine shop from scrap metal. All the way from the foundry to make the castings to a complete finished set of machine tools (lathe, etc.)
Bootstrap projects like that rock, even if not that many of us actually complete the thing. The journalist toaster thing sounds like a liberal arts dude fumbling around, tho.
Back when I bought it, my first license was from Softway Systems, back before Microsoft purchased the company. My second copy was from Microsoft, when they still sold it branded as Interix. That was in roughly 2001. Interix came bundled with a whole toolchain centered around the Gnu C Compiler.
Yes, there may have been some irony in buying a product from Microsoft in 2001 that included a bundled copy of GCC.
Many, many car parts, like controls and engine components, are made in China. But in recent years, a lot of the automotive OEMs have moved their production to Mexico.
Your hard drive, your keyboard and your mouse all run an OS that you don't have complete control over. Okay, it's more of an embedded piece of software, but in some cases it's even remotely updatable firmware.
My current phone has a little door I can pull off that gives me access to the lithium battery inside. I have opened it multiple times. I even dropped it once and it popped open on it's own. The battery spilled out that time, but it didn't go off like a grenade.
You have some interesting fantasies about lithium batteries.
Cygwin is just a DLL kludge that runs on top of the Windows subsystem, Which runs as a subsystem on the NT kernel. Microsoft bought Interix, which is an entire separate POSIX subsystem that runs directly atop the NT kernel, just like Win32.
A kludge that runs on top of Windows isn't the same as an entire subsystem that directly connects to the NT kernel.
Interix was developed by a separate company, Softway Systems, before Microsoft bought it.
Clinton lied about it. He could have said "she gave me a bj, what of it" but he wagged his finger instead. Then we nearly elected his literally-a-cuck wife.

I have used Android for years, never had any malware, and never needed to run AV utilities.
You can't keep the muggers out of Apple's walled garden, because it's Apple who is mugging you.
Yeah, you like it that way.
Everything infrastructure in Apple is all Apple.
They don't need to advertise that fact.
Keep calling everybody a moron. It makes people like you.
I'd rather have nothing than an iPhone. But I'm not bragging about it.
I know. They should just have rolled in the equipment and built it the way Stalin built those canals in the 1930s.
No, he's a good little Entemanns.
It's better than being a Little Debian Snack Cake.
I'd say that Apple is closer to being 'the nazis' than these folks. Or at least as close.
Not that some stupid godwin reference matters.
And why should people who don't use an iPhone give a fuck about any of the details of your life, since you brought that tone to the discussion?

The DMCA does not apply to law enforcement operations.
Or it was a marketing stunt by Apple. Their loud and bellicose refusal was definitely used for vigorous marketing.
I choose music to change my mood, not to match it.
Also, music isn't "background sound" for me, When I am going to listen to it, that's what I am doing.
by helping Uber/Lyft expand
You misspelled 'helping local competitors to Uber/Lyft start up.'
That's the 0th century, dude. The French Revolutionaries who spun up the Metric System also reset the calendar.
It was just as arbitrary an idea, but didn't really take hold.

Huffington Post is that blog that Ariana Huffington and Andrew Breitbart set up together, correct?
Anxieties?
Stay slack, dude.
Interix became Services for Unix.

Ironically, my phone with the non-exploding lithium battery is a Samsung Galaxy J3.

Yes. Anonymous Coward is a Microsoft shill.
Ummm...
The idea appears to be making it mandatory to enable them.

And you can't go out in the yard.
I don't live in a city or a suburb.
This weekend I forgot my laptop out on a table on the back porch.
I remembered it about a half day later. Obviously it was still there, because nobody steals stuff out here.
Stay in your crime-ridden shithole, because we don't want you out here.
