But that is not why Windows on ARM has failed. Remember MS has and still has a lot of authority and final approval on which ARM chips ran/runs WoA. So they could dictate things like bootloader standard. The main reason so far is that Windows on ARM is it required special versions of programs as opposed to running Windows x86 programs which negates any real advantage to using Windows vs another OS.

That might be an issue with any random Linux. That is not really an issue with Windows as MS could control that.

Yes I have. What do you think Android and ChromeOS are? Variants of Linux. What ARM SOCs do they run on? Many different ones.

Windows on ARM has existed for over a decade and failed. You seem to blame that all on ARM standardization when that is not even close to the problem. The problem is anyone running Windows expects that all Windows programs should run on it. Not some to few Windows programs. That was the previous failure of Windows on ARM. Every "Windows" program needed a special ARM version.

Android and Chromebook users may disagree with you on this. The issue is not "Linux" or ARM in general. The issue is if both are designed to work together. Google has put in a lot of effort to ensure their version of Linux works with ARM chips from their partners. Also Android and Chromebook programs have no backwards compatibility with x86 versions to worry about.

You are looking at the wrong problem. Standardization has very little to do with it as MS has dictated exactly which ARM chips pass Windows certification. Again see Android. As for the Intel world it is the same problem. You cannot run Windows that you installed on an AMD desktop on an Intel desktop. You have to reinstall Windows as there is enough variation to where Windows does not work properly.

Again, that was not the problem as MS could deny their vendors chips certification if they wanted. The problem AGAIN is that Windows on ARM programs were not compatible with Windows x86 programs. That required software vendors to make ARM versions.

Unfortunately older titles is what many Xbox owners have had to endure for a while PS owners have gotten some decent new titles. Heck some of the titles like God of War have been ported to PC but not to Xbox. Bear in mind, MS has purchased many studios but have not gotten a lot of good exclusive titles. Xbox owners got mediocre to terrible titles like Starfield, Redfall, and even Halo 5.

I do not understand what you are describing. ARM licenses their designs to others to make chips. There is standardization when it comes to ARM like the current ARM v8 APIs. The difference is that companies who license ARM can customize the chips the way they want. Does the chip need to be able to hardware decode Google VP8, h265, etc. or use 2.5Gb Ethernet? A smartphone chip is going to be different than a laptop or tablet chip.

Windows on ARM has been a thing for over a decade and it has been a miserable failure. I do not have much hope that MS can get it right this time.

Bored Clippy in 2026. Bored Cortana in 2027. Bored Master Chief in 2028. I advise everyone to buy, buy, buy.

You forgot about the cryptocurrency mining for Microsoft and NFT store.

Citation needed. Remember, I do not accept anything you say as true given your penchant for lying.

Citation needed.

Citation needed. You do know the winter storm was mostly about prolonged subfreezing weather and snow, right? You do know cold temperatures and snow happens all the time in winter in the north right?

[sarcasm]And your EE education completely validates everything you said about the petrochemical and energy industry[/sarcasm]. That's like saying a chemical engineer is an expert in integrated circuit design.

AGAIN, I have NEVER said anything like that. You keep making up what I have said. What I said is you don't understand SUPPLY and keep talking about demand.

That is a question you need to answer. Also why do you lie ALL the time? We can scroll up to show every time you lied. And continue to lie.

Southwest CHOSE to buy the 737. By that logic, it is not ONLY on me if my Honda's transmission fails after 200K milles. Honda chose to accept the design of the transmission where it does not last 500K miles.

The Boeing 737-800 was first delivered in 1988. There have been over 5,000 of them sold. This particular plane was delivered to Southwest Airlines in June 2015. The chances that it is some sort of design flaw is less likely considering the numbers. It is more likely this was a maintenance issue where a mechanic did not do something correctly.

I would imagine that taking the cowling off a jet engine should be a stupid pain. This is an engine cowling not an automobile hood. The number of times it has to be done is few.

1) Rust take time. Years, decades sometimes. That would be on the airplane's owner to maintain and fix any rusted parts. 2)Also considering most of the plane uses aluminum and not carbon steel, rust is not something that just happens on commercial planes.

Do you murder children? I'm not saying you do but it is interesting you've never denied murdering children. #whatatoutism

I think you are confusing counterfeiting a brand vs counterfeiting a product. For example, there have been counterfeit toothpaste which was not just a brand fake but should not be used as toothpaste due to toxic chemicals used. There have been counterfeit cement which should not be used in buildings because they lack the strength characteristics of real cement and falls apart. These are glasses that should not be used for a solar eclipse but are advertised to be used as such.

It seems you missed the point of the cartoon. We know these days that a solar eclipse is the Moon blocking the Sun. It is not magic especially since we can predict when and where they will occur years, decades, centuries into the future. From a practical standpoint, that end effect is not that much different than a cloud blocking the Sun. Clouds however are less predictable for the future.

So they are banning the largest source, Taco Bell?

Thanks, I’ll be here all week. Tip your waitstaff

You literally wrote: "You can't winterize windmills . . . " That is a lie and you know it.

You are the king of the strawman arguments and lying. I NEVER said wind turbines can be kept up in ANY and ALL conditions. What was said is the industry did not winterize their operations in ten years despite recommendations.

Again you seem not to understand any points. How does it feel to be so wrong all the time?

That is pure idiocy and you know it. You seem to ignore the fact that SUPPLY crashed during that week. You don't seem to understand supply and demand curves.

You mean like winterizing equipment that should have been installed in the ten years since the last storm? Clearly you have missed the point of "winterizing"

There were not cold. That is your continued LIE. They were down because they could not operate in cold weather.

By the way, you have yet to show that I advocated for converting everything to wind and solar. Why would you lie so much?

The link was coded to the EXACT time when the exact information the OP wanted started. They complained that the whole video was 11 hours. That means they didn’t bother to actually watch the video. But they complained about it none the less. How is that not just pure laziness?
