Exactly. People seem to forget that a lot of small to midsize companies are possibly running everything on some custom Access database, VB6 or .NET app. Their accounting system is also probably some Windows based package like Sage, QuickBooks, etc. There may be Linux/Mac alternatives, but they're not going to have the features, support, training, and development that the Windows apps have. A readme.md file on a Github site doesn't compare to something like Sage University which has published books, instructor lead courses, and a phone number to call when a problem occurs.

Also, few companies that want to make lots of money are going to develop for a low market-share platform. So this keeps Windows alive even more. Web based apps and PWA's may eventually win out, but it will take a while.

"They're going to put their car over there". Not too hard to figure out :)

Something with a simple 1:1 aspect ratio and at least 4000x4000 pixels. Something with the same width of a 34" screen but also the same vertically. That would give me tons of horizontal and vertical space for code, video windows, browsers, etc. without needing multiple monitors and awkward stands.

If I have a signal, why wouldn't I just tell them the GPS coordinates?

That's what I was thinking. But then I wondered where I would find my GPS coordinates on my phone. Maybe in one of the maps apps but it's not obvious. Another nice thing about What3words is that it's easier to say 3 words than relay a bunch of numeric coordinates without messing it up.

It should only work if you wear the cat ears as well.

I've tried the virtual desktop VR apps on Windows many times. They're all bad and useless. VR sets don't have the resolution to display text well, especially with the font sizes most people use in terminals. You constantly have to pick up controllers to move things around if you're doing some 3D positioning thing and then set them down again to type. And you can't see your keyboard with the headset on, so good luck on that typing... It works to watch a youtube video or two, but not much more than that.

September is long enough away to move all the flying saucers to a new location. Heck, leave one weather balloon in the middle of a large airplane hanger just as a joke.

The book link above goes to the wrong book about Neil Armstrong published by the wrong publisher back in 2005.

Here is a correct link to this book on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/One-Gia...

...they used their Heisenberg compensators.

I'm saying that everyone is going to die some day. It doesn't matter what you eat, how you exercise, etc. You could be the healthiest eater in the world and you're still going to die at some point. You might last a few more years than others but you're not going to stop it by changing your diet.

Articles like this try and give you the idea that if you do this or that, you're going to prevent your death. This one actually says a better diet will prevent 1 in 5 deaths globally. I'm pretty sure all 5 out of 5 are going to die at some point. It's just a matter of time.

Maybe if the article gave a chart of life expectencies of people based on diets or lifestyles it might be more accurate. But claiming that your death will be prevented is just wrong.

The correct answer is time. Doesn't matter what you eat, you're not going to escape it...

Won't they have to rename YouTube after this? The point of YouTube is that it's "You" making videos. Now it's "Them". Welcome to ThemTube.

Why are all these companies so obsessed with unemploying all their drivers? Self driving cars, drones, trucking, AI, etc. Governments are working hard to get people jobs and the corporations are trying harder to fire them all.

They're also forgetting that some people that use food delivery services now could have some disability that prevents them from leaving their home in the first place. How are they supposed to get to this vehicle to get their stuff?

They can't claim it was a mistake if they purposely edited out her credit domino sequence from the front of the video.
