But... shouldn't they? I graduated from college in 2002. Today I run software development teams that build cloud hosted machine learning models pretty much none of which was a thing in 2002. Even if we want to imagine that college is essentially a trade school but with ivy and columns, the fact remains that your average college graduate's degree far outlives the value of most of what they're taught unless they're majoring in history.

We certainly want people to exit college with the skills they need to either enter the workforce or grad school, but those skills could be aquired for a whole heck of a lot less time and money than a four-year-degree. The college degree is about critical thinking skills; managing complexity; proving a capability for self education and improvement; etc. Or it should be, anyway.

Paris solution: did tunnels ("catacombs") under the city, throw the manure in it, mix it up with a few bodies, grow mushrooms on it, sell it back to the parisians, profit.

You'd have a point if Microsoft didn't already have a long history using semiannual updates to silently turn on features that users had disabled or were previously opt-in.

I don't know how many times I've had to go back and re-hide that goddamned Cortana circle, for example.

Did I say he was a scientist?

Did he say that he is a scientist?

Are any of the clowns currently dictating of climate policy in this country scientists?

No, you fucking moron.

That last one sounds interesting. I don't know who most of the other people are.

Those taxes should have been used to enforce building codes that say you don't build houses in a flood zone.

"But we didn't know sea levels were going to rise!!!"

Bullshit. Al Gore warned you about this 25 years ago. Edward Teller warned you about this almost 70 years ago.

Those of us who were smart enough to *not* buy a house that was built a few inches above sea level get to foot the bill.

You've just repeated the same fallacy.

The logical fallacy you are making is called "False choice".

Environmentalists should have stomped BitCoin (and any other 'proof of work' network) into the ground. But... not a peep.

I'm on my 2nd phone that has random disconnect of the SIM and/or microSD card. On one phone it happened several times a day and required a reboot every time. Annoying as fuck.

Yeah, if I wanted to communicate with plenty of icons, I'd learn Egyptians hieroglyphs... There's a reason they've been superseded...

I already said that in my original post.

Just what the fuck do you think I don't know?

Let me make this simple for you: Microsoft refuses to install Windows 11 the laptop. Support for Windows 10 is ended. I already told you I'm not jumping through stupid hoops to extend support for a mere 10 more months.

There may be shady workarounds for all of those known to MS MVPs, but this thread was supposed to be about the average Joe who allegedly can't figure out how to attach a printer to a Linux box.

So mount new radars on the most distant wind turbines. Then they'll get an even earlier warning on the incoming Belgian drones.
