Windows 10 was never a subscription. The plan was to have every PC have windows 10, like macs have macos. You have a computer, you have windows. Their market for Office 365 would be infinite, and marketed heavily on platform. Someone realized that changing version numbers and deprecating the old versions caused a massive wave of revenue as people upgraded. Whoever had the "windows 10 forever" idea lost the war, and now it's buy the platform, and pay them to market the services as well. Soon it will be windows 12 as a service, and it will be pay a fee for the platform they use to sell other services to you.

You will never have a windows as reasonable as Windows 7 again.

Since car manufacturers are currently figuring out how to charge a subscription fee for your radio, or just to enable your heated seats, people can spend all the time they want arguing about it, but we're heading toward a trash fire regardless.

There's significant evidence that someone has been injecting tungsten filled "gold bars" into the world gold market. They're the correct weight, they displace the correct amount of water, the only way to tell is that the electrical resistance is something like .01% off. And cutting them in half, of course.

Mythbusters proved that this is completely incorrect. Scotch tape with your thumb behind it is enough to fake out many modern systems, since it detects the body heat. You have to breath on the tape for moisture, but that's about it.

Uh... you can easily burn out a lithium ion battery like the ones tesla uses by going below 1% charge. If their system isn't intelligent enough to completely stop battery use at 3%, and report that as 0, it's entirely possible to kill the whole power plant.

I think it's great that another member of the 5 digit club chimes in with this. For the record, I'm married and hang out with friends frequently. :)

Dude. I'm 32. I could make it through TWO jordans.

Is that the cheaters are going to cheat, no matter what you do. Had a guy who listened to class material on his ipod in class. Wrote answers on their hands. Texted them to each other. Bluetooth micro-earpiece and mumbled questions under their breath. You can't stop them. You just have to let them know that when they get their dream job, with their fake resume and their unjust transcript, and they get fired within a month because they can't do it, that perhaps they would have been better off learning the material.

I'll ask my friends for a recommendation once I've done a local search, but I'll use a text message to a person, not facebook or some other social media. Post it on facebook and the signal/noise ratio sucks.

I have friends who have said this same thing, and strangely, someone in their family buys them a kindle and it's all over. I read on a EEE transformer tablet, personally, and it's fantastic.
