But, seriously, I can only think the earliest customers were the only ones who probably didn't think about the data being stored forever. The moment one big data breach occurs, I often think about what data what company might have from me that's at risk and I immediately thought about genetic testing. Not sure which data breach tripped me to that thought (Sony?), but I appreciate it.

Actively chose Gentoo for my Steambox and my Plex server. They have some of the best documentation still.

Korobeiniki started playing in my head immediately after reading the headline.

There's progress being made. Can't find the source off hand, but I remember reading an article that Apple was subsidizing development costs for Resident Evil 4. That's about the only thing that makes me consider this "push" to actually be a push this time.

Anecdotal agreement from me. I keep my Mac on the oldest (major) macOS that I can for as long as I can until my software flat out requires me to updated because of the iOSification of the OS. My work machine is a Mac as well and the office keeps it relatively up to date. A lot of the cosmetic changes that Apple have made drive me batty when I have to do anything in the core apps/OS.

Fortunately the Terminal app is still not fucked with.

I'm assuming you're confusing tornado watches with tornado warnings. Watches mean the conditions are favorable for a tornado. Warnings mean that there has been either a spotting or the radar has flat out showed a tornado proper (source). Watches, I, personally, take with a grain of salt, but when we get warnings (rare as they are in my area [NE Indiana]), I get my pets and I into the basement.

Your statement is a bold-faced lie. The post office is not mandated by the US Constitution any more than the military is mandated by the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 7 merely states that Congress has the power to establish post offices, not that there needs to be one; meanwhile Article I, Section 8, Clause 12 states that Congress has the power to raise armies.

If you think systemd is bad, let me introduce you to the Windows Registry, particularly the Windows 95/98 era.

IANAL but I thought patenting materials was absolutely possible, so long as it's not something that would have already existed in nature? For example, if I'm mucking about in a lab and create a material that is stronger than buckminsterfullerene and easier to work with, I might be able to patent it. But then, if I realize that it naturally occurs when object a collides with object b at the same time as being around object c, I would not be able to patent it.

I, too, miss having known attorneys chime in.

Last I tried it was as simple as logging into the ip address and port. My current plex server is at 192.168.1.20:32400. Admittedly I have not tried that in quite some time.
