Bollocks, you couldn't guarantee those things would work with other devices safely, and there was hardly ever two combinations of voltage and connector type the same, so everything came with a new one.

Yes, that's why the economy is now doing so great in the US, these great new policies.

No making you buy a new charger instead of just a cable was by design and a feature not a bug. The change is because the EU has made it clear this kind of thing will be legislated against.

I think you probably are Russian, or maybe Serbian. Russia is at war, and it's losing.

We lost £40b in trade you idiot.

Basically the Russian finally figured out how to defeat the west, but got cocky and also thought they could win a real war.

You turn it into fuels, which you then burn and release the CO2 into the atmosphere. How is this "fine"?

It turns it into fuel, which will then be burnt and go into the atmosphere. This isn't "sustainable".

I tried for multiple years to use only LibreOffice in my small company, but had to give in, too many external people need to use word docs, and MS has been canny enough to make sure other platforms are no able to be compatible enough. I can't force these people to do what I want, it just creates friction. I've tried your way, very hard, and it didn't work.

I'm a significant shareholder in my small company and am senior and in charge of IT. I use Linux as my daily driver, nobody else in the company does. We tried for a few years to go all Libreoffice for cross-platform compatibility. I'm here to tell you that Libreoffice isn't compatible enough, and sometimes you don't have a choice but to deal with other's word docs, e.g. external lawyers, suppliers, clients etc. . I had problems internally with Libreoffice not starting properly on some windows machines, it's still a bit buggy. I KNOW Libreoffice isn't compatible enough because MS deliberately made it so, but that doesn't help me, and no, I'm not going to explain to clients etc. and other people who I want to keep friendly how wrong they are, I'm going to fit in with them because I need to stay in business. You also need to understand that Libreoffice doesn't have the proprietary fonts MS uses (obviously deliberately), equivalent fonts exist to let docs display properly, but it's not trivial to set up for a whole organisation. Further more the underlying document model in LibreOffice and word is fundamentally different, so things like headers and stuff break all the time between the two. LibreOffice Calc on the other hand, can completely cover excel usage, you can get away without anyone ever knowing you're using it, provided you change a few settings here and ther.

Thanks, but unfortunately I live in the real world, I love LaTeX and have tried hard with LibreOffice, but compatibility with Word and Powerpoint specifically isn't good enough.

The day I can run local office programs on my laptop is the day I become truly free. Is it possible yet. And don't give me any BS about the crippled online versions of office programs, or libreoffice, which is good, but not compatible enough that I won't break files for others by using it.

Although there may be only 2 significant figures, that doesn't tell us whether the measurement was accurate enough to support more precision, and therefore keeping more significant figures in a conversion.

A world war against a country that before the war had an economy the size of Spain, and has had 30 years of soviet stockpiles destroyed by about 2% of the NATO budget? P.S. Russia aren't going to use Nuclear weapons on Europe, where would they or their children live? They don't live in shithole Russia you know.

The summary omits that they can use the points to get more drones and equipment etc. for their unit, so the strong units become stronger. It'a a tactic to reward the best units and have them grow, and the bad units get absorbed by others.
