All the extraneous bullshit Microsoft added to the start menu is always lurking in memory for performance reasons.

Fear of facts is a sign of cowardice

Clearly you've never done inventory management before. Managing extra stock like this consumes a whole lot of internal resources. Also given how many PCs Lenovo ship per quarter and assuming you need 2 memory units per PC we're talking for your 15 day extra (assuming that's what it is), about 6 million additional RAM sticks in inventory.

This here! What the hell? Explorer.exe is running permanently. File Explorer should just be an additional window. It's also loaded for literally every application (not written in Java) since it is used to display save as and open dialogues boxes.

Something about this announcement isn't right.

School issued devices often don't permit installing arbitrary apps, only those on the approved list.

Most iPhone owners didn't buy them outright. They got them "free" with their plan. Consequently out in the real world I commonly see people with old iPhones with cracked screens. They can't afford to replace them, we don't have an Apple store anywhere near here, etc.

The tariff revenues are needed to cover the tax cuts for the wealthy instituted at the same time, so no.

"An employer can only pay the workers what their output is worth, so if your industry is producing things that are difficult to sell, then you're not going to get a good paying job"

You're blaming the victim. If the employer's plan doesn't include paying a reasonable wage then their plan is crap and they need to go out of business so that someone with a better plan can succeed them.

"The experience of Detroit should be a warning to those who believe that this economic law can be avoided; the car makers sold the same stuff year after year whilst Japanese and German producers made ever better stuff."

That's not because they couldn't do better. They chose not to and depended on regulatory capture instead, preventing others from bringing more superior products to the market. Again it's the employer's fault and no one else's.

Technically incorrect. Trump has fucked up institutions that generated an incredible level of power for the USA as well. I've never seen a more America first person actively try to destroy America.

Technically incorrect, you have a giant asshole in the Oval Office, the buttplugs are in congress and they are actively trying to outdo each other to see who can get in that asshole the deepest.

Who said tariffs? There just won't be trade. Look at the historic trade deal Trump made with Australia. It opened up the beef industry to Australia reduced the restrictions on import. Hurrrah!. Except precisely no one is importing American beef, and literally every major beef supplier in Australia said they have no intention of stocking any American imports as their idea of "quality" doesn't care what Trump negotiated with the Australian government.

At this point much of the world has figured out it's easier to just wait out another 3 years until the Orange Piggy is gone.

It's been done before. Like this man claiming glyphosate was safe enough to drink. He seemed a bit scared when someone took him up on the offer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Your logic means nothing to MAGA. They will cheer for this while taking a hit from their vape pen.

Which is measured how and actually means what in real world terms?

I already told you how it was measured.

And now you're moving the goalposts. You said Mackay's numbers were old and wildly off. Mackay's numbers match modern wind farms.

He may well have had reasonable numbers for some things, but he fudged numbers for a lot of other things

Aaaaaaahahahahah pull the other one, mate, it's got bells on.

You picked two things he "fudged the numbers" on. Both of them were fine. So now it's other, nonspecific numbers that are fudged. Cool.

Arduino isn't about the microcontrollers. It's about the IDE and the community built around it.

Non-EE people may find it much harder to program up a communication systems with an external display compared to simply clicking on the display in their IDE, having it load the library, and then typing drawline(x,y).

That said PlatformIO would be a good contender, I'm not sure of any others, and I'm not sure how dependent it is on Arduino upstream.
