This is exactly what I'm getting at.
I personally don't use Wine but I've encountered people online in the last 10+ years that use the argument that it's "good enough" for people to fully switch to Linux. Realistically, I don't think Wine actually convinced more than a handful of users to abandon Windows
Hasn't Wine been good enough for at least 10+ years? Furthermore, how does being backed by Valve actually be of any significant value? I've heard of this argument for a couple of years now and I'm still not convinced (not that I follow Wine development that closely).
Can you give more details on this? Anecdotal is fine
I loosely follow AWS, GCP and Azure but I always get mixed opinions on them, especially the last two
Quite frankly, I think the post should get downvoted more. It's not an opinion, it's a fact that those apps are NOT necessary for the phone's functionality. The user even mentions that the apps are a 'want' to some users, not a need.
What makes the bloatware annoying is that they cannot be fully uninstalled, only disabled. I'm one of the users who disabled these google apps and it annoys me that I cannot remove them.
Can you elaborate on the national defense? How is the highway useful with defending the country? Defending from who?
I can only think of highways as secondary runways for planes but I'm unsure as to how much that helps your case.
Don't get the downvote. I thought this was midly funny.
not sure what you mean. I have a nokia 8 and it has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack
As per the comment below, the population between Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal is about a third of the total population (about 12M).
Bit pedantic but this really is a far cry from being the "vast majority" of Canada's population.
Thank you for this and everyone who has downvoted an incorrect and misleading statement
Maybe your bones are too dense, though to be honest, I've never heard of anyone with your issue in floating/treading water. I've always assumed that everyone has enough buoyancy to float most of their body.
Totally the guy's fault. No one in their right mind should have 3 months (or even a few days) worth of code without a backup/version control system set up.
This is probably where Windows 10S (pushed in education) comes into play. It's a version that offers "secure & superior" performance over normal Win10. Since 10S can only install from the Store app, devs are `forced` to port their app.
Only time will tell how effective this strategy is. I for one would love for this to succeed if it means better security for users (especially on older, technologically challenged folks)
Oh man, thought it was just me. Always hated that 'feature'
Good find! 3 more days before the kickstarter ends and I just submitted my first pledge!! I truly believe in a more efficient (cheaper?) means of transportation. The more big city/country to expand cycling, the better.
I'm sure he and his siblings were pretty sympathetic, which is why the tried to defend her from their parents and help her with her duties. This made their mother angry because they would take their Lola's side.
This is actually quite typical of kids (especially in asian cultures?). Being timid and following your parents orders wholeheartedly are so ingrained it's criminal. The children could only do so much as young teenagers; I question the eldest more because he was 20 and has noticed the slavery for a while yet didn't do much to help their Lola (or maybe he did, the author just failed to mention it).
Regardless, it seems like you're being unsympathetic to the author and his siblings. You don't know what they've been through: poverty, fear, abandonment, humiliation, anxiety, etc (speculations). It's a whole lot easier to judge someone's situation based on your current status and upbringing. Just because you think you would've been more resolute if you were in his place doesn't mean that you actually would have been. Remember, this is a family from Asia in the 60-70s.
Not an attack. Just a reminder to put things in perspective.
I guess I don't see it that way. Extended support (which includes security patches) are only for paying customers.
"The chaos surprised many security watchers because Microsoft issued an update in March that patched the underlying vulnerability in Windows 7 and most other supported versions of Windows. (Windows 10 was never vulnerable.)"
source: https://arstechnica.co.uk/security/2017/05/wcry-microsoft-is...
So I don't really know what you mean by 'hoarding the fix'. The patch was not initially released to some OS versions because they are NO LONGER supported.
> I believe Windows XP should have been supported for at least 50 years, considering how many people still depend on it. IMO, Microsoft has acted irresponsibly, and the decision was only driven by money.I don't think you understand how much developer effort is required in maintaining such an old OS. In addition, these same developers need to get paid and since MS is in the business of making money, supporting a SW that massively burn cash (I assume the maintenance is not cheap) is blatantly foolish.
> Why not spend the next 50 years just maintaining Windows 10, just the way it is?
If I understand it correctly, this pretty much is the plan with Win10. It's supposed to be the last Windows OS
that's a pretty shitty bug on their end. Now you've fucked two accounts, brilliant
which adapter exactly are you referring to here? I have a 2015/2016 thinkpad yoga for work and I don't think it's the same/similar at all to the magsafe adapter. Magsafe comes off even with the gentlest, but firm, tug even at an angle. I can't say the same for my thinkpad
