If you're buying retail licenses, then take your Windows 10 license, put it on your new hardware in accordance with the license terms, and upgrade it for free to Windows 11. Still not seeing how this is a cash grab on Microsoft's part.
Okay, but how is this "releasing new versions of Windows for the upgrade fees?" What "upgrade fee" is Microsoft collecting in your scenario?
its not going to keep working for much longer either. Sooner rather then later Microsoft is going to start building Windows components with 86_64v3 instruction set requirements.
Err... anything less than 12 years old (Haswell) already supports those. The list of unsupported CPUs starts with things significantly newer than that (Skylake CPUs, which support v4 of the instruction set, are not officially supported for Win11 at all and will plain not install Win11 24H2).
Microsoft releases new versions of Windows for the fine upgrade fees.
Who the hell is paying Microsoft for Windows 11 upgrades? If you have a valid Windows 10 license, the upgrade is free (as in beer).
Have you? Modern South Park is about as funny as a political cartoon.
I've found South Park to have gotten significantly less funny over the past several years, but I have laughed my ass off at the current season.
Robin Williams was great to the point that he could never take off the clown mask
Yes, One Hour Photo had me rolling in the aisles, as did Dead Poets Society and What Dreams May Come.
It also means the manufacturing capacity belongs to India or Vietnam, rather than China, despite China having nominal control of the output.
This is the part that drives me crazy about the "anti" side of onshoring/reshoring. "Oh, it'll be an automated factory that only has a dozen jobs at most, that's stupid." Maybe so, but at some point you have to realize that "but then we have the factory, not some at least nominally hostile government 10,000 miles away" has value on its own. Hell, if nothing else, the massive disruptions of supply chains during Covid should have taught people that.
It's an industry ripe for innovation, and I suspect we will see a new player come along (probably self-driving cars?) that will be better and wipe them all out
For short routes (something like Nashville to Atlanta) you'd win on time but almost certainly lose on cost.
For long routes, for example New York to Los Angeles, you'll lose on both cost and time. I also suspect that, say, New York to London might have some additional challenges for a self driving car... how do you suppose a Tesla Model 3 handles in 40' seas in the North Atlantic?
No, it started as an express mail service.
On March 18, 1852, Wells Fargo started as a bank and express company to address demand for secure payment tools at a time of technological revolution. Trains, canals, and stagecoaches created more interconnected communities and developed new industries.
He's obviously talking about the Fourth Geneva Convention given the date, and your response has nothing at all to do with the refutation of "nuclear weapons being criminally illegal [in 1945]."
And, since you're trotting out Nuremberg, here is what General Telford Taylor, Chief Counsel for War Crimes at the Nuremberg Trials, had to say about strategic bombing:
If the first badly bombed cities — Warsaw, Rotterdam, Belgrade, and London — suffered at the hands of the Germans and not the Allies, nonetheless the ruins of German and Japanese cities were the results not of reprisal but of deliberate policy, and bore witness that aerial bombardment of cities and factories has become a recognized part of modern warfare as carried out by all nations
a friend who has actually studied international law argues that the constraints on behaviour imposed by the Geneva conventions are assumed to be about what civilised nations regard as acceptable. On that definition the nukes were criminally illegal.
I hate to break this to you, but "your friend" is looking at things through a post war lens. Here's the contemporary opinion from General Telford Taylor, Chief Counsel for War Crimes at the Nuremberg Trials:
If the first badly bombed cities — Warsaw, Rotterdam, Belgrade, and London — suffered at the hands of the Germans and not the Allies, nonetheless the ruins of German and Japanese cities were the results not of reprisal but of deliberate policy, and bore witness that aerial bombardment of cities and factories has become a recognized part of modern warfare as carried out by all nations
There are no winners in war. Sometimes there are aggressors, and often both sides are doing some pretty terrible things. It's the winners that write the history books
Err... if there are no winners, who's writing those history books?
Asking for a friend.
Still hung up on a good alternative to Publisher
If it makes you feel any better, whether you're on Windows or Linux, you need to be looking for an alternative to Publisher... it's been deprecated and has an EOL about a year out. You can, of course, continue to run it, but I can't imagine running any MS software that doesn't get security updates anymore, especially one that's an Office component.
What's soccer? Is that where you put socks on cars? We're talking about a sport played with a ball and feet. The fact you weirdos confuse it with handegg is your own problem.
There are at least half a dozen different games called "football," none of which are the One True Football(TM). Soccer is a shortening of Association Football (itself named to differentiate it from Rugby Football which was codified earlier), and was, in fact, used as slang shortly after the codification of Assocation Football around 150 years ago.
You can identify the condescending assholes that already know that because they use terms like "handegg" to feign ignorance of this when they demand you stop using a word that's been in use for a century and a half in favor of their preferred terminology.
Instead, content producers should GET paid per web request. And the payor should be the person making the web request. ISPs would just skim off the top.
The internet is more than just the web, and this is just a bizarre proposal. If you think bandwidth caps are bad, just wait until you can get charged per-connection fees.
