I also remember DR-DOS with transparent compression causing me to lose a hard drive.
Quite possible, but Microsoft stole and included Stacker and that also caused quite a lot of data loss since it also sucked.

how much is the cheapest TV today compared to the 90s
You can't eat your TV. You can't drive your TV to the grocery store. You can't take your TV into the bank and get a home loan, nor can you take your TV to a home seller and get a reasonable price. You can't hand it to the university and be handed back an education. You can't give your doctor your TV and receive surgical or even preventive care or the meds you need.
Your problem (other than the root one of spewing disingenuous nonsense) is that you're looking at the pricing in the electronics sector and pretending it's representative of the extremely high basic living costs I called out (which of course it is not) — nowhere did I say anything about either the pricing of electronics or the need for a TV to achieve a reasonable cost of living. Nor should you have. But here we are.
It actually made sense on the Mac, because programs were officially called "applications" and even had the type code APPL.
So DOS 4 is Vista, and DOS 5 is Windows 7... oh how history repeats
You don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about, if I may invoke fiction vaguely, a machine made in the likeness of the human mind. I'm talking about what separates us from software, and how for some jobs it isn't much at all. I'm talking about how slavery never ended and the wealthy would like to replace all of us with very small shell scripts. And to them, that's actually viable. They don't understand any of the reasons why it isn't; even the ones that are that smart aren't that educated in that way. If they were, they couldn't do what they do simply because they could see it's unsustainable.
any other low talent industry. i doubt they grew up dreaming of working in a call centre, they probably did it for the money, like most people.
That's very much my point. They are already doing a shit job because it was all that was available. Now what are they supposed to get, a shittier job? It's hard to find one that pays, as backwards as that is.
you dont half chat some shit sometimes.
I'm not new, friend.
Please please please write a screed explaining how forcing Apple to use stuff that users want them to use and support things users want them to support with absolutely zero harm to other users who simply don't turn on any additional features which will be disabled by default is bad for consumers. And don't cheat and use AI, really lean into it.
Most people process fairly visually, some people especially so. You see the same set of logos presented over and over again alongside the logos you are already predisposed towards and they are associated in your mind.
Maybe there's actually an advantage to aphantasia...
They were making assumptions, the type which can often go against the average citizen and it should not be such.
There are liberals on the supreme court?!
VERY much so...
Kagen, Jackson and Sotomayor....I dunno if I got the spelling right on those...
Well, yes, there are trades. But the data shows that non-degree workers *as a whole* are earning about 25% less than they were in 1980.
If you cannot detect when things are changing then you are doomed to be confused by changes. Welcome to the rest of your life, where changes are going to keep coming faster and faster, like they have been doing for all of history.
If you had a brain, you'd know.
It's overreach to prevent them from regulation of anything but navigable waterways.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
