Yet, you had to restart NT to change its IP address.

Exactly! Another problem is whatever they produced was/is implemented by big distros, and anyone questioning the new shiny systemd-look-ma-I-can-do-it would be immedieatly shut down. I've whitnessed this a lot on opensuse lists years ago and that made me leave maintaining packages. Now the damage is done nothing but a few bastions left.

Product managers keeping themselves busy that's why.

AppleTV comes with a GPS chip. Some apps refuse to run if you don't enable location services.

Yay clippy is back!

I'm sure microsoft will improve this software by adding unsolicited, in-your-face ads, or even better make higher tier where you can control specific apps for $5/month.

So there's no point in trying to milk others anymore.

This building is not just hideous but it takes about 13 days to print the house. I'm quite sure a good team of 4-5 framers can build it quicker. Same goes for concrete. Couple days to create the moulds and another couple for the curing per story. I fail to see the advantage of this.

They first come after our master-slave clusters, and they didn't stop to change the master branches. And now they demand name change for our good old Apache foundation? What's next? Shall we change the black piano keys to pink because it might offend some people?

Sadly, I believe, almost all other distros will follow this crappy idea.

You're incorrect. In such countries people tend to live in big cities with high rise buildings. See India, Russia, Turkey, Indonesia, Brasil, Argentina, Mexico, so on, so forth. Those are the middle income countries which are possbile markets for EVs. Not talking about poorer african countries.

People living in "developing" countries either live in high rise buildings or densely populated areas. In such places charging EVs could be problematic, and needs substantial infrastructure investment i.e chargers in all streets, creating of secure parking lots etc. Since these "developing" countries are highly corrupt those invesments will end up in politicians pockets and EVs will be unfeaseable for many. Not to mention they're still too expensive for their income. So my prediction is ICEs will be used for a while and these companies will be producing them for the foreseable future.

I think Firefox got much better last couple years performance wise, especially while chrome was getting bloated and slow. Multi container tabs addon is awesome I just love it. However as everyone agrees they should stop polishing the UI and creating "official themes" every other release. We need a light and blazing fast firefox. It can be even better.

This is correct. Microsoft is using the same tactics that oracle and IBM used for ages. Next they'll just ramp up the fees and your organisation will switch to something else.

Normally MS would force feed their products since they're already in almost every offic, or they'd use the line: "well this one's free since you're purchasing windows 14 oem sr x license for 2 years". Now how they'd force gamers and whatnot to teams is something we'll see. I guess they'll play the "you're already using this at your office why don't you switch to it" game.
