I wouldn't put any faith in the speeches of the CEO of a company that:

_Makes every effort possible to keep you as a prisoner of its proprietary technologies.

_Lies about the ROP and memory of its graphic cards.

Dear peer, I salute you.

This decision was technically so stupid that I honestly think it was fueled by Sony's greed.
Why do I say that? Recurrent behavior.

_Remember when people started buying their VHS movies again on DVD this time? Well, Sony thought they'll make a portable console that reads a special format of small video disc. People will just buy their movies a 3rd time! Imagine the money!

_That portable console could be hooked to TV, so for its successor we will castrate it by removing the TV output, and we'll make a different, non-portable version, that connects to the TV so people buy two consoles instead of one! Genius! Imagine the money!

_PSVR2 not compatible with PSVR. Imagine the money!

" It is very cross-platform, running Linux, BSD, many proprietary Unixes, macOS, and Windows, even Android. "

And yet, a windows apllication I need will have its developer say no more windows 7 version, it isn't supported by Microsoft anymore. You can't imagine how I despise such short-sightedness and insult to the principles of software development. What a sad epoch we are living in.

1) Variety of subjects.

From any hobby to any setting, historical or fantasy.
e.g. A Roman finds a passage to modern Japan where he discovers that both his and this civilization share a love of baths (therms).

2) Variety of tones.

No Comics Code Authority here. From the most light hearted to the darkest including slice of life criticizing civil society.
e.g. A high-school drop out gets a job as teacher using his fake diplomas and ends up fighting a lot of what is wrong in contemporary Japanese society.

Given 1) and 2), most of the people on this planet can find a manga they like.
The popular ones usually get adapted as anime.

Last TV I bought was when I was a student.

Thank You very much for your detailed and helpful answer. I will heed your recommendations.

Posts like yours are why Slashdot is still useful in this day and age.

| Then you want Windows to run LTSC

Even LTSC will update without your consent though.

Disabling the windows update service (AND preventing updates in group policy) is not enough, because Win 10 has another service that will re-enable it against your will, and that felon service CANNOT be disabled.

If anyone has a solution about this on LTSC, I'm all ears.

| Only DKs were available prior to Facebook. CV1 was always Facebook since before the initial preorders.

Mod parent up. This is the truth.

_DK1, DK2, Rift owner.

What the fuck era are we living in that lambda people on the web are saying this with a straight face.

Unix workstations.

A friend had one at home.
He had to reboot it three times.

In seven years (kernel change).

You can shove your piece of manure OS elsewhere.

My daily runner is still original Win7 SP1+ enhanced cryptography patch, tyvm. Slap a decent firewall on it before connecting to the internet and you're done.

Just wanted to add that DVD actually meant Digital Versatile Disc.

Why do I suddenly think of the computer in Paranoia?

And no, I won't tell you what my clearance is.

"Changes in the art style, the story, and the game play had many fans criticizing that it did not feel like a Halo game. "

This started right with Halo 2, minus art style, as it diverged in story (Sergeant: survived even though he was next to the explosion AND Cortana herself said there was NO survivors) and gameplay (too many points to list).

The only person who knew what a Halo game was left Bungie after Halo CE, he was the executive producer. The rest of the team drifted so much without him, they sank so much time in making the playable E3 demo that they couldn't finish the game on time. Hence the stupid "end" of Halo 2.
