You're not suggesting you click the slashvertisements, are you?!?!

Many of the appy apps that kids love do not even work on a desktop computer, because they can't get all your data from the browser.
That's exactly the same as in the US. The person above was merely telling a story about what an idiot said to them.
You probably have idiots where you're from, too.
Really? I would expect the opposite.
Me too.
I prefer a low-mid price motorola with a good battery, I don't want to replace it ever if I'm not forced, and I take care of it.
I could easily buy a new phone whenever, but I'm not an appy apper. It's just a phone with a snapshot camera to me.
One thing about not getting patches... you're also not usually affected by the new bugs. Software comes out, it's full of bugs, bugs start getting exploited, they start getting patched. After a couple years of that the version is pretty solid.
You failed to make an argument that people will have to be relocated, or that Japan's existing public planning is weak in this area.
They're already making bank doing this, so it's pretty clear their terms already put them in charge of the decision.
I doubt any content creators are going to withhold from them, because what's the alternative? Publishing on youtube? They won't have enough views to make money, documentaries are niche.
They don't care if it's enshitified, they only care if they can coerce enough manufacturers to make it the only thing on low-to-mid priced devices.
Interesting statistic. I haven't tried the drug, so my response is due to the results I've read reported. I'm a bit surprised that it's as high as 1/4.
You can also download Emacs for windoze, and if you just do everything through the pull-down menus it's simple and intuitive and you don't have to learn anything to edit text files. It's actually very similar to Notepad if you don't try to turn any features on.
The mandatory online account registration was awful.
Windows 10 is the only version you can download and install for free, from MS, legally. If you don't register an account, it just disables some of the crapware and you have to close a few popups once in awhile.
I've been using primarily *nix since the 90s, and went 2 decades without owning a windows (or mac) box. When I needed to install Windoze (to run software for a class) I chose Win 10 and I'm pretty happy with that. I don't have to worry about predatory IP lawsuits, I didn't have to buy some shitty old computer that already had a copy of windoze, and I didn't have to sign up for anything.
I do actually have a microsoft account, for using Teams (on Linux), but I sure as heck don't want to connect that to their telemetry. Just on principle.
I doubt they bought it to reap the huge profits of selling to the maker community (/s)
They most likely want to slowly enshitify it to drive people away from that hippy maker stuff and back to proprietary, segmented development tools.
Well, whatever they do it's not going to be less open than Espressif lolol
