So you disable all the tracking and that's cool and all but a lot of businesses use that tracking to decide whether or not you're committing fraud or not. So you use Firefox and they can't track you but then they won't let you make purchases on their website...

I use Firefox daily and have for several years now and I have never, once, run into this issue.

But I was specifically referring to the sort of ginormous pick-up trucks that are rather popular in America. Most of them have a 0-60 time of eventually.

My F150 has a 0-60 of around 5.5 seconds. Big truck or not, its twin-turbo v6 can move it surprisingly quickly. And it is not a high-end performance model like the Raptor, just a plain XL with the 3.5L option.

If people can run legacy Windows apps without Windows, they will gladly move to a new platform simply to be free of Antimalware Service Executable and the constant useless updates.

That's the fun part though: You can't. At least not with this solution. This is just thin client computing. They run windows servers in their DC, your IT installs your apps, configures everything like what app icons to present to what users, and you login to a web portal. Yes, the endpoint doesn't need to be Windows (Although MS still gets a cut from it since you need a RDS CAL) but you still need Windows on the back-end. Citrix has being doing this for decades now. You can see the architecture on their site: https://helpcenter.cameyo.com/...

They may take them to a bank or kiosk to cash them in, but no way most people will get rid of them through payments. That's one of the problems with them, no one wants to carry them so they pile up. I remember my parents had like half a dozen coffee cans full of coins, 99% pennies. Hell there are a pile of them in my center console in my car right now that will most likely never get spent.

That glamorizing this sort of game is directly responsible for the recent phenomenon of crime in US cities? Street take overs, rampant looting during peaceful protests and even sports team wins(or losses), shoplifting, carjacking, etc?

I could get behind GTA3 back in the day, and even Red Dead Redemption, but I think the evidence must be SOMEWHERE that kids, sadly, glamorize this type of behavior and emulate it in their every day lives.

That you Jack Thompson ?
