The hardware also isn't obsolete as you can still run Windows 10 after Microsoft stops support. People are still running Windows 7 or earlier still.

Using Home edition and also don't see ads.
Declined all options during setup (which I have done since Windows 7) so maybe that is why.

Just because two things happen at the same time doesn't mean that one causes the other.
All vaccines have side effeccts for a small percentage of the population. It is terrible for those that are affected but doesn't mean you stop giving vaccines to everyone (unless the percentage affected is substantial). Your one anecdotal example isn't enough to say that the vaccine falls into that high percentage case.

All this proves is that the US really need universal health care (yes I made the assumption you are in the US but I'ld be surprised that wasn't the case).

You have seen the state of the US Congress?
They can barely agree on what day of the week it is let alone pass any meaningful laws.

If you forget what the date is while driving you have more problems than a watch can solve. 8^)

This may sound bad but how does it compare to other companies' products?
Can you change the battery in Apple AirPods or are the throw away tech too? How long does the battery last?
How does Samsung ring compare to other smart rings?
Without these comparisons maybe condemn all such devices in your article and don't make it sound like this is just a Samsung problem (which it may be but isn't stated anywhere).

There is a big difference between $30/user and $60-$120/user also. If the ISP is charging twice or more what a small ISP is maybe they can afford to eat the cost of the few low income users they are mandated to provide Internet access to at $15.

There is a free app in Windows that can get around the limitation too. It is called the format command (unless that has changed too since I last used the command).

Not very good comparisons to signing up to social media. I don't know of any social media site (I'm sure there may be one or two outliers though) that charge money to use.
At best this would be compared to a location that served underage kids free alcohol and caused an addiction problem among teens but again I don't know of any place that is giving out free alcohol to underage kids.

Not sure which union you are referring to but to my knowledge union leadership is voted on by the union members. If you don't like the leadership vote them out.

That is all fine as long as you are willing to also negotiate your own raises and working conditions. If you aren't paying your dues to the union you really shouldn't expect to be getting the rewards of their negotiations.

Once you are in the union though you only need 50%+1 of the members to side with you and replace the union leadership if you don't think they are working in your best interest.

I think you may have missed the point. bobbutts was saying that a VPN provider will give you free streaming just that you should get a good VPN and then stream from a free source (not that I would recommend doing the last part).

is it really that hard? As the ink is used the sponge will dry out from the top down to the bottom. A simple moisture sensor can tell you when a section of the sponge in the cartridge is drying out.

That's like saying my bank account increased by $1000000 because I decided to buy a lottery ticket.
A president pledging money to a cause is a hollow statement since the money can only be allocated by congress. If the money is taken from already allocated funds (by moving money from other projects) then it wouldn't increase the debt (since the money is already factored in).

That only hold true if the exchange unit is pumping/pulling heat from the outside air. There are other heat pump systems that pump/pull heat either from the earth or from a large body of water (i.e. a lake). These still work the same even if the air temp drops below -40C.
