Or that I've had 5 phones in 6 years. I'm not accountable to you, but here it goes:

• Bought the initial phone. I required a dual sim phone because of extensive overseas travel.
• Bought the 3 because I wanted the upgrades. I continued to use the original strictly for business purposes.
• Traded in the 3 for a 5 because Samsung offered a great upgrade offer. The phone was later stolen.
• Bought a 4 as a replacement. I hated the huge screen on the exterior of the 5 because it made the phone less durable.
• Bought a 4 as a replacement for the original a few weeks ago when the folding screen finally gave out.

Yup. 5 phones. All legit.

I've owned 5 Z-Flips. Never had issues. The crease, while there, visually disappears when you're looking at the screen.

I've had 5 Z-Flips. 1st gen, 3, 2x 4s, and a 5. The 4 was the last well though out phone. You can drop it and earlier editions and it's nearly indestructible without a case. My 1st gen only died a few weeks ago when there was a short between the bottom and top portions of the screen. 6 years old, 5 weeks of being dropped over and over multiple times per day in the hospital by hospital staff in 2021 and it kept working and the screen never cracked. The 5 was a turning point. They added a large screen to the exterior. Suddenly, you had a screen on the exterior of the phone that can break. After my 1st gen broke a couple of weeks ago, I replaced it with another 4. Here's another truth: when you add the thickness of the phone case on a slab phone, the Z Flips I've owned, including the 5, are about the same thickness. The large exterior screen on the 5 and later defeated the benefit of the earlier phones and were an example of somebody who reviews phones for 2 weeks not experiencing day to day usage over a long period of time.

I use LibreOffice as my default office application and truthfully I find the fact that I can't set xlsx, docx, etc. as defaults to be the bigger annoyance. I'm more interested in sharing my work with others in a format they are already familiar with. Petty battles over obscure standards that no highly technical recipient is going to understand just means I have to take more time out of my day explaining them to users. It's much more important to me to instead continue to spend my time working on my port of Doom to my refrigerator's console. It's my new goal ever since I threw in the towel on the abacus port. Anyway, Microsoft can change their format, or drop support, but nothing prevents LibreOffice from continuing to support those older formats. LibreOffice after all still supports xls and doc and can continue to do so should Microsoft stop supporting xls and doc.

...surrenders.

But you also had a pretty good UI design. Windows 11 fixed that.

Better idea: how about we start getting rid of change for the sake of change. My 5 year old dishwasher runs roughly the same as the one I grew up with in the 70s and 80s. That one was made in the 1960s.

I get security updates, though. Windows 11 sucks and it's nice to turn on my computer and it still works the same as it did yesterday.

The union members Microsoft has attempted to lay off put up a wall that Microsoft wasn't used to hitting. Can those of you opposed to unions do the same, or did you just get laid off?

Correct, and that's the reason the first sentence of the article should have explained the context. Don't assume the reader already knows what you know. Including something like, "The FreeBSD project has migrated GPL-licensed dialog to a BSD licensed replacement". makes somebody naive to certain facts informed.

My apologies for spending time pulling women instead of going out and learning about every FOSS license on the planet.

So the article says that it's now free of GPL. Great. So what was it moved to?

Wasn't there recently an article about how after 3 injections into mouse brains with human cells that they'd reversed Alzheimer's? It turned out it was fatty buildup in the brain.

Itâ(TM)s not a product people buy anymore. I have an ISO sitting on a drive that I downloaded years ago. Paid nothing for it and can install it with a Microsoft account.

Microsoft has to pay their engineers who work on Windows somehow. As for me? I'm still on Windows 10 ESR and will be until October 2028.
