You want a discrete/separate Windows/Linux boot. You have Windows on one SSD/NVMe, and Linux on another. How long do you have to wait for a chance to choose a boot drive? On which computer? How much time does it take to begin booting, anything? Has hardware become thousands of times more complicated, to warrant the longer start time--in a world of 4-5 GHz CPU's that are thousands of times faster than they were. Is this a symptom of a larger UEFI bloat problem? Now, with memory characterization on some modern motherboards, when building a system, how long to you have to wait to find out of your RAM is incompatible, or your system is DOA, or not?

In 2011, you could buy an HTC Evo 3D, with an Autostereoscopic 3D screen that did not need any glasses. While the actual cellphone's battery life was short, and the GPS accuracy...interesting, it was amazing to see. Where is a modern 3D cellphone?

I do not know if this related to the other Tesla fire. It may not be. Thankfully, no one was hurt, in this one, at this point.

When Mozilla Killed XUL, they killed one of the best web research tool, ever: Scrapbook. Originally conceived by Murota Laboratory, and developed by Gomita, Scrapbook allowed the user to save a hierarchy of web-pages with your notes, and links. While, there have been attempts to recreate it in Firefox's current browser, programmers aren't allowed to have such a powerful extension. Firefox itself implemented Pocket, but it might have been was more service than a local tool. Pocket is now gone, so that possible conflict is also gone. Scrapbook's old code was 1.8MB. As I loaded my old 4806 Items into Scrapbook-X running on Basilisk, I personally found it baffling that Mozilla would not want its users to have such functionality in Firefox. When reviewing some of the...interesting choices that Firefox has made, perhaps, for the user, would be a more useful one.

While the Honda Grom does exist, the bike shown does not. The lettering and decals vary from side to side. The text is illegible. All kidding aside, is it fair to anyone to have a review video--with no personal or hand's-on experience?

Firstly, Thank you to all the heroic open-source coders, as well as the many people who support open-source projects by helping the masses of computer users on forums.
For the lack of a better term, the problem is: Fixed in Forum, Not In Code, a condition that exists when there is insufficient feedback to the actual coders of software--yet the problem and even the workaround may be known elsewhere on the forums. So, old bugs persist.
With an inclusive library-based tree-like structure of a large open-source project--rising to the level of a Linux distribution. It can be hard to tell at which level the problem lies. Some well-documented bugs and fixes on the forums never reach the people who write the code, so the issue does not get fixed at the source. So, then the huddled masses continue to pour into the forums and mailing lists for answers and workarounds--to issues that might have been fixed at the source. This is why a quick NOTABUG and a quickly closed thread can cause issues downstream, and why more distro-to-programer communication might help.

LibreOffice writer is a great word processor. Its menus are coherent. It suffer from suffers from less inline style-corruption than Word. Its files are lossless compressed to save on disk space--allowing you to save more often, but as download and installed, there seems to be no functioning grammar checker. I will not write for all writers, but I have no trust for anything touched by unchecked AI. I just want things like double space checking, punctuation, and that kind of thing, grammar checking before large companies lined up to steal your content. While grammar checking extensions are available, most are touched by AI, or require additional Java. So, why is no included grammar checking in LibreOffice?
