Funny how some people think that every job that an immigrant took is one that everyone wanted and the pay is what everyone will accept. How many of those rednecks actually want to work long hours outside for little pay? I would guess very few because no one is stopping them from showing up at a farm to pick crops. The best example of how flawed this line of thinking is Brexit.

One of the core reasons of Brexit was to control the borders so foreign (but legal) labor would be reduced. However for some industries like agriculture foreign labor made up the majority of the workforce. Brexiteers got their wish and those pesky foreigners no longer got their jobs. So British people took those jobs? Hell no. There is such a severe labor shortage for agriculture workers that some farmers simply refuse to plant some crops as they would just rot in the fields waiting to be harvested. It is like there was a reason those jobs employed foreign labor as they were difficult, had long hours, and little pay that British people refused to do.

I was under the impression that Samsung employed humans as workers in their semiconductor plants. Some of them might be female and might be affected by the politics of abortion. Just a hunch.

But that is not why Windows on ARM has failed. Remember MS has and still has a lot of authority and final approval on which ARM chips ran/runs WoA. So they could dictate things like bootloader standard. The main reason so far is that Windows on ARM is it required special versions of programs as opposed to running Windows x86 programs which negates any real advantage to using Windows vs another OS.

That might be an issue with any random Linux. That is not really an issue with Windows as MS could control that.

Yes I have. What do you think Android and ChromeOS are? Variants of Linux. What ARM SOCs do they run on? Many different ones.

Windows on ARM has existed for over a decade and failed. You seem to blame that all on ARM standardization when that is not even close to the problem. The problem is anyone running Windows expects that all Windows programs should run on it. Not some to few Windows programs. That was the previous failure of Windows on ARM. Every "Windows" program needed a special ARM version.

Android and Chromebook users may disagree with you on this. The issue is not "Linux" or ARM in general. The issue is if both are designed to work together. Google has put in a lot of effort to ensure their version of Linux works with ARM chips from their partners. Also Android and Chromebook programs have no backwards compatibility with x86 versions to worry about.

You are looking at the wrong problem. Standardization has very little to do with it as MS has dictated exactly which ARM chips pass Windows certification. Again see Android. As for the Intel world it is the same problem. You cannot run Windows that you installed on an AMD desktop on an Intel desktop. You have to reinstall Windows as there is enough variation to where Windows does not work properly.

Again, that was not the problem as MS could deny their vendors chips certification if they wanted. The problem AGAIN is that Windows on ARM programs were not compatible with Windows x86 programs. That required software vendors to make ARM versions.

Unfortunately older titles is what many Xbox owners have had to endure for a while PS owners have gotten some decent new titles. Heck some of the titles like God of War have been ported to PC but not to Xbox. Bear in mind, MS has purchased many studios but have not gotten a lot of good exclusive titles. Xbox owners got mediocre to terrible titles like Starfield, Redfall, and even Halo 5.

I do not understand what you are describing. ARM licenses their designs to others to make chips. There is standardization when it comes to ARM like the current ARM v8 APIs. The difference is that companies who license ARM can customize the chips the way they want. Does the chip need to be able to hardware decode Google VP8, h265, etc. or use 2.5Gb Ethernet? A smartphone chip is going to be different than a laptop or tablet chip.

Windows on ARM has been a thing for over a decade and it has been a miserable failure. I do not have much hope that MS can get it right this time.

Bored Clippy in 2026. Bored Cortana in 2027. Bored Master Chief in 2028. I advise everyone to buy, buy, buy.

You forgot about the cryptocurrency mining for Microsoft and NFT store.

Citation needed. Remember, I do not accept anything you say as true given your penchant for lying.

Citation needed.

Citation needed. You do know the winter storm was mostly about prolonged subfreezing weather and snow, right? You do know cold temperatures and snow happens all the time in winter in the north right?

[sarcasm]And your EE education completely validates everything you said about the petrochemical and energy industry[/sarcasm]. That's like saying a chemical engineer is an expert in integrated circuit design.

AGAIN, I have NEVER said anything like that. You keep making up what I have said. What I said is you don't understand SUPPLY and keep talking about demand.

That is a question you need to answer. Also why do you lie ALL the time? We can scroll up to show every time you lied. And continue to lie.

Southwest CHOSE to buy the 737. By that logic, it is not ONLY on me if my Honda's transmission fails after 200K milles. Honda chose to accept the design of the transmission where it does not last 500K miles.

The Boeing 737-800 was first delivered in 1988. There have been over 5,000 of them sold. This particular plane was delivered to Southwest Airlines in June 2015. The chances that it is some sort of design flaw is less likely considering the numbers. It is more likely this was a maintenance issue where a mechanic did not do something correctly.

I would imagine that taking the cowling off a jet engine should be a stupid pain. This is an engine cowling not an automobile hood. The number of times it has to be done is few.

1) Rust take time. Years, decades sometimes. That would be on the airplane's owner to maintain and fix any rusted parts. 2)Also considering most of the plane uses aluminum and not carbon steel, rust is not something that just happens on commercial planes.

Do you murder children? I'm not saying you do but it is interesting you've never denied murdering children. #whatatoutism

And since bribery is assured under the guise of "campaign contributions", that system is always going to be flawed.

The fact that notifications through the Push API do not cause the device to play sound, do not cause the device to vibrate, and appear at the bottom of the list on the lock screen.

Liberty is the common problem.
