No one has mentioned the possibility of using RDP to connect to a modern computer running Windows 11.

You can buy a computer that is grunty enough to run mutilple sessions simultaneously, and then use these various machines to which you have become accustomed to act as dumb terminals without having to go to much trouble.

Don't connect them to the internet. Do your web browsing and email and whatnot in the remote session. But, you can run that accounting software you started using in 1998, or your favorite DOS games, or whatever makes you still want to use the old machines locally.

What is not friendly about .deb?

It the easiest way i ever had to deal with to manage apps and OS install and upgrades.

If the command line is not your friend there a bunch of GUI for it too...

You can also hold power/sleep and volume up (aligned with power on the other side) for 3 seconds.
This opens the emergency screen where calling 911 needs an extra swipe to do, along with a shutdown and cancel button.

However at this point face/touch ID is disabled requiring the passcode again.

I wasn't aware of the 5-press power button thing, so thank you for that.
Good to have options regarding auto-dialing 911 or not depending on the situation.

People get so caught up in things, they forget that you can get the same happiness sitting outside and staring at the coals of a campfire.

Have you nerds ever sat outside under the stars and stared at the coals of a campfire?

It's a far superior form of passive entertainment than movies, music or video games. But, you would have to experience it to know that.

It's called anabolic steroids. Or testosterone replacement therapy.

Chat GPT told me Lewis Hamilton had 8 world title.

I don't think it's funny, personally. I just want to see queer and trans people get the shit beat out of them until they collectively go so far back into the closet that I can forget they exist.

I thought it was courageous of that AI to say that the emperor has no clothes. Because he doesn't.

I was going to say this, but you beat me to it.

If you can't take the speaker to court, you shouldn't be able to scare the platform into censoring them.

It's a term from much earlier than that.

Punch cards held a fixed number of characters, the first IBM punch cards were 80 characters for instance, and that was the maximum length of a "line". One line per punch card.

It doesn't matter if your punch card was 1 character or all 80, you still used up an entire card to store it.
So it made little sense to count characters, words, etc. You count by card, or line. Thus LOC (lines of code)

Assembly language was a "one statement per line" language.
You didn't have text editors, at best you might have written a draft first on paper.
So a line/card was a direct measure of the number of instructions in your program.
Things like comments were hand written in the margins. They didn't count as lines of their own.

Oh, and punch cards came in packs of 1000, wrapped separately within the box of cards you ordered. Thus KLOC (1000 lines of code)

I don't know if programmers were paid by the line, but there was certainly a fixed cost of cards that was directly comparable, since cards and lines were the same thing.
If management types were involved at all it would be more related to reordering your consumables, not unlike measuring pages printed per month to figure out how often you need to reorder printer paper.

Autocorrect strikes again. Curse you Steve Jobs! *shakes fist in air*

This used to be common 8+ years ago.
Technically it was an Android feature, it didn't matter what the device was. This behavior was changed/fixed in android a very long time ago.

I had a Sharp Aquos LC 70" tv from back in 2012 I believe, which ran android and shipped with wifi enabled.

I also had a Sony bravidia(sp?) that I know had the same version of android, although I didn't have it in a location near wifi to witness auto-connect, I used hard-wired ethernet.
I only even remember that detail as the two TVs used the same process for side-loading the kodi apk :P

What sucks about your question is that apparently the Aquos has had yearly refreshes ever since and I can't quickly find any results specific for the old 2012 model.
At the time there were numerous search results detailing how to turn the wifi auto-connect off, second only to troubleshooting wifi that stopped working.

It isn't that no one documented and published their findings, just that the search results for them seem to be lost to the sands of time.
