Until they use their tablet to browse the website of the game they want to buy and see "Linux and Windows: Buy Now / Consoles: We are seeking a publisher." A newly established indie studio's games aren't on consoles until the console maker approves a studio's request for a devkit. That in turn doesn't happen until the studio brings two or three games to market on a competing platform, which usually ends up being Windows.

And write long-form articles for a website on what? Learn concepts of computer science on what?

The same way you've done it since Mac OS 7 in the 1990s. Open the Applications folder (usually pinned to the dock) then open the program.

VHS wasn't that far behind Betamax in picture quality especially after VCR manufacturers implemented the HQ revision. VHS also had the deciding feature of much longer recording time per cassette.

Frontier, a major fiber ISP in the United States, is one of the "ancient ISPs" that still doesn't do IPv6 in 2024. T-Mobile Home Internet does IPv6 but blocks all incoming connections. In my city, that leaves Xfinity by Comcast.

This is true of all system Python in GNU/Linux distributions since PEP 668. Ostensibly, it's to protect the user from installing a new major version of a package whose breaking changes cause other packages installed on the system to stop working. Creating a venv solves the problem.

iTunes, for adding music to my roommate's iPhone's music library after October 2025, when Windows 10 security updates end. Last time I tried iTunes, Wine couldn't run the part of iTunes that syncs to a mobile device. "How to Install iTunes in Ubuntu 22.04 | 24.04 (Step by Step)" states: "NOTE that, iTunes running with wine does NOT detect iPhone, at least not for me."

As for what to use instead of iTunes: I looked into libimobiledevice on Linux but its FAQ states "Sorry, music synchronization with newer devices is currently not supported." Using a Spotify or Apple Music subscription doesn't work if someone bought an MP3 album from the website of a band that isn't yet represented by one of the labels on Spotify or Apple Music. Using VLC instead of the Music app doesn't let the user mix and match songs manually added to the library with songs from the user's Apple Music subscription.

Mount the SODIMM as a RAM disk and have the operating system swap to it instead of swapping to the SLC intake buffer of the SSD. Main RAM stays on package; SSD sees less wear.

Then either Valve or Sony messed up by allowing people to buy the game in countries without PSN.

In a case in which the buyer declines to opt in to the seller storing a record of the warranty, in what manner would the buyer prove to the seller that a product for which the buyer seeks warranty service is under warranty?

Ah yes the global elites, not like Harvard- and Yale-educated governor of a state. He's just plain simple folks.

I am so sick of these dumbass conservative conspiracy theories.

That would be pointless, though.

Doing something that another country has already done long ago, doesn't impress anyone. If they want to be perceived as advanced leaders in scientific research, they have to do something that has NOT already been done decades ago by other countries, especially hated Western countries.

If there were any conceivable way they could send a manned mission to Mars, that's what they'd be doing. The dark side of the moon, is the loftiest space-exploration goal they thought they had any realistic chance of achieving.

Over his termination, not the whistleblowing. The deposition wasn't to get new information, it was so Boeing could try and trick him into saying something they could use against him in the court.

He had disclosed it already, the deposition was about his termination.

Exactly! This...ain't it.

> Whatever happened to the goal of Windows 10 being the last version of Windows

That was never intended to actually be true. They said that because IT people with actual discernment were looking at Windows Ten and going "Eh, this version is pants, I think we're gonna stick with Seven for now and see if Microsoft can get their act together for the *next* release." And that would be a disaster, because then they (and more importantly their companies) might not pay Microsoft any money for upgrade licenses for Ten.

Once just about everyone who ever pays for software upgrades let go of Seven and upgraded, the "Ten is the last version" line was promptly dropped, because it was no longer needed.

There is one significant way in which Eleven is better than Ten: the "is your PC ready for the upgrade" check is significantly more realistic about system requirements. Ten will happily install on a system with 8 GB of RAM, which is less than a quarter of what is needed to run it at an even vaguely acceptable level of performance, and it doesn't even *warn* you that there might be a problem. The result, is that the system can't be used for anything because it's too busy swapping, because the core of the OS doesn't fit in physical RAM, let alone any applications (and the Eight/Ten/Eleven virtual memory subsystem is even more pants than the NT/XP/Vista/Seven one). Eleven doesn't have this problem: it actually tells you your PC isn't good enough.

I still say Seven is the best operating system Microsoft has ever produced. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it ends up being the best one Microsoft *will* ever produce.
