Coddling idiots only drags the rest of us down to their level.
It's not that Windows 11 doesn't have and "must have" features
Name one.
I really don't want this "feature". What I want is for existing features to work correctly.
For example, automated subtitling. For some reason the subtitles sometimes just stop coming for a while, then you get half a minute's subtitles all at once so you have to pause to read them. I've been watching foreign content lately and I depend on this functionality to understand what's happening, and it often just doesn't work right.
If Google could just pull their head out of their ass long enough to make their service work correctly and wouldn't bundle shit I don't want with it and overcharge, I would pay for a subscription to Youtube. But I absolutely will not give them money while they are proving that they don't give a single solitary fuck about their software actually working.
Companies with smart leadership will put just enough effort into AI bullshit to have something to sell to idiots, but won't bet the farm on it.
Any communication technology can be tracked - cell towers can pinpoint your location, hard lines obviously are laid to a specific address so the idea that your location can be tracked when your using a particular service is nothing new, and many governments already require the ability to locate an individual subscriber when presented by an appropriate warrant or court order.
A service which cannot pinpoint users would be illegal in many countries and would not gain regulatory approval.
A healthy body will regulate blood sugar, and when someone suffers from diabetes their ability to regulate blood sugar is compromised. This can result in either dangerously high or dangerously low blood sugar levels.
Doctors would recommend patients drinking a sugary energy drink if their blood sugar dips to dangerous levels, but this becomes difficult when a lot of places don't even sell full sugar drinks any more.
Someone with diabetes needs to control their sugar intake, not replace sugar entirely. This becomes a lot harder when products that previously contained a lot of sugar now contain something else without obvious differentiation on the packaging.
Some artificial sweeteners were found to pose higher risks for diabetes than sugar, for instance: https://www.oncologyrepublic.c...
and yet people are pushed towards the sweeteners as if they're a magic solution etc.
In many countries it's becoming increasingly difficult to avoid artificial sweeteners. There are many restaurants now where the only soft drinks available contain sweeteners, your only options are alcohol or water.
For years we were offered a choice, but now the full sugar choice is being increasingly taken away from people.
You are REQUIRED to eat something, you might only be able to afford the cheap low quality options. Not eating at all will result in a slow painful death.
You do not need to smoke, the cheapest option is not to smoke at all, anyone can afford to not smoke.
And they nodoubt run promotions encouraging you to buy more of this healthy food, buy one get one free offers, discounts for large quantities etc.
Even the healthiest of foods are unhealthy when consumed excessively.
What does this grocery store do to promote moderate consumption?
Among widely available fonts under OFL, GNU GPL for Fonts, or other free licenses, not many of them cover the 2,100-odd Jouyou (regularly used) kanji and 1,000 name kanji that BadDreamer mentioned. It's a lot easier to make a font that covers 100-200 characters from two alphabets, such as Chilanka that covers the Latin and Malayalam scripts in a distinctive and dyslexia-friendly handwritten style, than one that covers 3,000 different kanji made of 600 radicals (as iggymanz mentioned) with manually-tuned slight variations to their shapes to make them fit next to each other in a character.
Depends on the individual UPF...
There have been various drives in the past to reduce fat and salt, and in some cases these things were replaced with unhealthy quantities of sugar, or corn syrup etc.
If you push them to remove/reduce sugar, it will be almost always be replaced with something even worse.
He is grounded in faith in white supremacy, which does indeed go back centuries, but no one should be defending it.
"What if you got professional help and got over your paranoid delusions that Trump is going to do anything besides enforce existing laws"
What if you shut your fucking traitor face? Trump is ignoring multiple court decisions right now, the idea that he is enforcing laws is probably the dumbest bullshit you've ever spread, and you're a spectacular idiot all day.
you could still [write Japanese] in native language with a manageable scope by sticking to the phonetic scripts.
Exclusive use of kana (Japanese phonetic characters) was common in games for MSX, Famicom, and other 8-bit platforms. The one problem with that is the sheer number of homophones in both Chinese and Japanese, words spoken the same and written differently. Kana normally don't even distinguish which syllable a word is accented on, which would be like writing Chinese without its tones. Yet somehow Korean avoided this and switched from Chinese characters (Hanja) to a suitable phonetic alphabet (Hangul).
There are two kinds of egotists: 1) Those who admit it 2) The rest of us
