Well untill ms kills the extended ( and rather pricy) extended support for win20 and all the non tpm2.0 pcs out there are keft with unely un patched windows or linux

Will replacing winevwith proton change this, i know proton is mostly for games, an kauncing ofgice from steam will fill odd but it might be worth a try. But idpf itbworks you'll still be lefte with the mess that is ofgice somwhy bother?

I think the ribbon might have been a good idea implement badly ( par for the voures wgen tit comes to microsl... ehm I mean Microsoft ), Also don't make such a radical chane in a sw millions of peiple use for their work all day everyday ( never break userland unless it's absolutely necessary

Be advised I'm not at all in favour of these mage mergers, I just want price comparisons to be made on a somewhat even baseline, and without making this tio complicated ( avarage tak home pay, average housing costs etc) inflation stuntmen ,while not perfect, is at least easy and has fewer chances of getting bugged down in details (details are important but might be outside the scope of this discusion)

I wonder what cable prices had been today if streaming had never become a thing. And before we get too nostalgic for the old cable bill remmer to inflation adjust the amount you remember from 15+years ago (and preffrably above the official inflation rate since everybody is always so quick to that onfaltion is underestimated) ok so for my example the feds numbers say 2011-2205 (the last number their calculator had up) was 44% compounded since this this an estimate lates say the rel number is at least 55% so what was the non internet part of the cable bill back in 2011?? and how many comercial fre channels did you get for that price?

Aprrature science, we do whst we must pecaus we can....

Well it does not necessarily need to be cheaper, it it's about as good and doesn't suffer from the prize volatility of traditional meat ( bad growing season for stock feed etc). If you get the grown meat into an automated scalable process ( not to egergy intensive to avoid energy price volatility plz) you'll getva supply that is oredictable both in valume and ptize, thst is very atractive I would think

I must admit I don't know anything about the halftime show, but that's because I'm so uninterested in football (socker to you in Trump land) that I activity avoid it, I would rather watch paint dery (with h\the right sensors and other instrumentation ofc I'm not crazy) . But seams it's appreterende relevant to the discussion who did the half time show?

Well the 60s had good music (I was born in 1980 so donæt blame nostalgia). Did the 60s allso hjave a lot of crap? yes but that got filtered out over the decades and we are just left with tghe good bits now. give the same timespan tå 80-90s music and I suspect we might have a somewhat simmilar result.

This might be a legitiate complaint, I can't relly comment since I've not used a mac for years. I.m generaly haoppy with iOS,iPADOS and TVOS os tho, but then again they are generallty mre specialized than a generla laptop/desktop os. Allso I just realised hat out of all the different apps I use on theese devices the only ones made by apple is the camera app (i dont take photos frequently but its handy as a qr scanner and for reading small lables on things) , the mail app (at least until mozillla gets around to releasing thunderbird for ioados), and the calender app (mostly as a frontend for several google calendars). on the apple tv my use of apple apps is 0 (in al cases i exclude the settings app and the abb store for obvious rosens. I also skipped mentioning the web browser on ipados and ios til last, even tho I use Chrome on botth places they are just shells over safaris rendering engine, my only reasn for using chrome is for easy bookmark and tab sync between my mobile devices and my laptop+ desktop both running linux

or complaining that the 911 lacks the possibility to mount a towbar or a pto

true it is weay to easu to fal into the trap of say going to aoole.com finding the cheapest macbook you can find, then going to deel/leniovo and see what the cheapest laptop they have is and concude the wow Apple is sexpensive. the like for like Comparison is a bit tricky today due to apples switch to their own arm chips, in an ideal wrld thinks lik mglops or mflops/A shold be printetd in laptop spects so we have some cind of comparison number, or limpac/geekbench scores put alas the only thing we have to go on s gpu fammuily (if a descendere gpu is installed) ram size storrage and the wildly missleading cpu clock frequenzy. So the very easy but allso very misleading chepest for cheapest comarison is the one the gets triotted out again and afain becouse that is the only comparison that does not tern into a research project

Iot esp industrial iot never gets updated, but ig they do their networking right that stuff should be on a ceparate vlan with no default rout on the hosts , or a firewall that blocks all traffic that is not comming from a bastion host. Freiends don't let friends run exposed telnet daemons ( unless they are knowingly part of a honypot that is :) )

COM1.. I see you're under microslops thumb, i respect your choice ( if indeed it was a choice),If not you might try gnu/linux ( pottering is lurking) or bsd. And you could foreard telnet ( ot any other yco/ip traffic over a serial link with slip, but at that point you might as well make the server present a local login on that serial port and skip telnet and slip alltogether

Yes we dod, but what could we have done, if we had sebdtvour own assets to influence yjr US election anr it had been spotted ( probably) I tink the trump rartifs would have looked lime the proverbial srorm in a teacup. So Europe wisely staird out of those elections and let the US roin it for them selves, with a bit of "help" from Vladimit vladimirovic p
