A majority of people on the planet have no use for the latest and greatest versions of CPU and the associated chipset technologies for what they need to do day to day. They will benefit from the work of specialists in a variety of fields who do need that performance.

Exactly, each phone I've bought I've felt I immediately needed a case to prevent it slipping from my fingers.

I remember being mildly surprised to see some mainframe software from IBM and Unisys being maintained as layers of patch sets upon patch sets, kind of like how SCCS used to keep things. Even today you build Yocto Linux from a somewhat recent set of sources files or repositories then apply a more limited number of patches on top of that. At least with the disassembly/reconstruction you start with the latest version. :-)

Too bad the summary couldn't be bothered to state what HAR means.

The link works for me.

At the National Center For Atmospheric Research in the late 1980s through the early 2000s we had graphics and text output to Dicomed film recorders for years, with output available on 35 mm slides or 4" x 5" film sheets (color), microfiche (BW only) or various video tape formats. The users were producing their own presentations using the NCAR Graphics package or raster formats. When portable video projectors with VGA inputs became common the other output formats dropped off in use until the film/video tape output services were discontinued.

If you require a cable subscription to see those community channels, and people are dropping said subscriptions, where will they view said community access channels?

We're doing our part to reduce over consumption of resources!

Vampires knew this a long time ago.

I wonder who is responding to these "polls". Seems like they might rely on people self selecting to provide data. I learned years ago to not waste my time answering unknown peoples questions about what I or my company is using.

That doesn't follow logically. For airplanes that will never set foot in the EU the US airlines have no incentive to follow EU guidelines.

Perhaps people are growing tired of all the superhero universe stuff?

It's supposed to represent a cross section of a tire. But obviously that isn't always clear to everyone, especially as you are trying to drive. You'd think they could give you an audio prompt these days...

Cell phones are much harder to hold steady than an DSLR, and often need a separate app to enable features that are standard on a DSLR. It is also hard to mount a reasonable telephoto lens on a cell phone.

My memory for stuff I've read decades ago isn't so good, but I seem to recall a book (or movie?) where the TVs had to be on all the time displaying propaganda. And didn't they monitor the viewers too? They'd also detect if you disabled it too.
