I have no knowledge of that, for which I'm happy. But... Windows 10 was released in 2015 and will apparently be supported through late 2027. Outside of RHEL no Linux distro comes close.

Well, if by "many, many, many" you mean "about five". Red Hat provides longer support terms, but not for free.

True, sort of. Assuming the upgrade works, which it often does... but not always.

I'm no Windows fanboy, in fact the last version of Windows I used was Windows 2000. I switched to Linux completely by mid-2001 and I've never looked back. But it's really not as rosy as you paint it. The commercial OSes (Windows and OS X) actually do a much better job of delivering long-term support and (in the case of OS X) upgrades. I don't personally care about that for my machines, because I have no problem managing them, and even debugging the occasional update or upgrade failure. But I'm actually glad most of my relatives use Windows, because I would not enjoy having to help them do the same.

You seem to have completely missed the point, which is that what Biden *should* have done -- while his party held both houses -- is changed the law, rather than issuing an order that broke the law. Trump has been far, far worse about this, but it's clear that part of Trump's goal (or the goal of someone with his ear, since I'm not sure he is capable of making and pursuing goals over longer time periods than a few days) is to establish that the president doesn't need Congress.

What do you think he's going to do with it?

So you have been up close to the towers on ridge lines and you still think they have generators? You're lying about literally everything. Typical coward shit.

Whatever, Russian bot.

Anonymous cowards don't get to get treated like humans.

The difficulty of the job is based pretty much entirely on two this, difficulty of removing electrical connectors and ease of adjustment or lack thereof. The door itself has to meet crash standards so it has to have stuff in it. Therefore most aftermarket doors are for off road use only.

There is no "merely paying" in capitalism. That's literally what it's all based on.

Oh look, modded down by a clown, it must be a day that ends in y.

I know the tower near my home that I normally get signal from doesn't have a generator because it went out after the batteries ran out when we had our last quake, and Verizon promised to bring in a generator but didn't. They wouldn't need to bring one in if it were already there.

I know the tower near my work has a generator because I can see it. I could poke it with a stick through the cyclone fence.

There's a bunch of trolls on here who are mad that I know things. It's very fucking weird.

TBH I don't get it. Google was literally known (back when people cared) for being massively Linux-based. Then when they make their phone they ruin everything about Linux and then gradually un-ruin it

Apple is participating in the creation of the AI bubble. So yes, it is Apple's fault, in part anyway. Why do people give Apple a pass on behavior they hold Microsoft accountable for?

Supported by Android 11 and later, support came in a play store update in 2025.

Yeah, but it's also trash on Windows, with Acrobat. Acrobat was never amazing but it used to work. These days it is absolute trash. Features just stop working on you mid-session. It chokes on documents which Evince can render without difficulty, and that's just displaying them. How did Adobe fuck up Acrobat so badly?

How many cash dollars, and I do mean actual cash, does Apple keep in the bank? Hint, it's literally a historically unprecedented hoard no matter how you do the calculations.

We're complaining about the prevalence of technology used to abuse us, not that the vehicle uses advanced alloys, or a CAN bus. The problem is not "technology" and that framing is either disingenuous or a clear betrayal of a lack of understanding of the issues at hand. Why do so many nerds think they're experts in every category? Some of us have worked on cars for decades and know some real things about the benefits and drawbacks of modern designs.

Somehow, a bunch of people have convinced themselves that Americans are shit because a third of us want shit, a third of us will put up with shit without even complaining, and the last third is divided between those who only complain and those who only vote. The numbers of people doing anything else are a rounding error.

Slashdotters have always discussed ramifications of technology, not only the technology itself. You just don't know anything about where you are.
