Not when look around. I've broken the half-century mark now, and have been working in IT for over 30 years. It's the only professional industry I have known. During my life I have used and/or worked on Multi-DOS, DOS, Windows (from 3 forward until 7 was long in the tooth. I remember a time when Windows was an application suite and GUI, not an OS), MacOS, UNIX, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, and Linux. Fir me Linux has offered the best combination of useability, control, and custonization ability. There's nothing you can do on Windows [except for some newer gaming items] that I cannot do on Linux. At least, nothing I have tried to do and wound up not being able to.

While Windows may have the most users overall, this is changing. Yes, the gaming market is almost completely Windows, but even that Is changing. I do plenty of gaming, but I use Kubuntu for my home system, as well as for my work systems. At work, our servers are Red Hat linux (noWindows servers to be found anywhere), and my dev lab is all Rocky Linux. The company I work for has employees in the US and 5 other countries. I spoke with our desktop support team (I work on infrastructure, not desktops) and they told me we're only about 25% Windows on the desktop/laptop. We're about 25% Linux (mostly dev, dba, and support teams), 25% WIndows (customer support teams, accounting, HR, etc), and about 50% MacOS (everyone else).

Like the initial response to my post, people often confuse snark with inexperience, bravado, or whatever. I know what know. I've seen what I've seen. I've experienced what I've experienced. I never claim to be an expert, and I always tell people "No matter how smart or good you are, there's ALWAYS someone better or smarter then you." That's something experience has taught me.

In life i have founf that the people you should often ignore are the people that deny that simple fact. Lol

I haven't touched Window$ in over a decade. It's been Linux all day, every day, home and work. Things like this is yet one more reason to break the M$ addiction.

Yep. There's basically nothing even close to original anymore.

I think you did. I think the OP is talking about watching/re-watching older shows that wouldn't be impacted.

I'm basically in the same boat. Most new TV shows today are, to me at least, boring as heck. I watch 9-1-1 and it's spin-off, and a few "original" shows from some of the streaming services, but I find myself mostly re-watching older shows because the current batch is just (again, to me) dull, boring, unimaginative, and downright preachy about whatever subject they want to talk about. It's like the very concept of subtext has flown right out the window, and they feel a need to smack us in the face with the basics of whatever storyline they are discussing. Like the producers/writers/whoever don't believe we're intelligent enough to understand subtext, allegory, or allusion.

Not to mention, where the hell did all the GOOD sci-fi go? Lol. Strange New Worlds is decent, The Expanse was awesome, and so far I'm enjoying Halo (I know, purists yell at me for the portrayal of Master Chief, but I never played the games so I'm not offended). But the rest I've seen lately bored me to death.

Yea, more ESG investing. Trust me, it'll work THIS TIME! Rofl

Seriously, this will be just another money-losing debacle.

Totally a matter of taste. You're absolutely right. But heck, I'm going on 50. She looks darned fine to me. :)

Not making any judgements on her guilt or doubting the court process. I just hat3 to see such a hot gal go to prison. Other then "woman in prison" movies, it's such a waste! Lol

Cue the down votes, misogyny comments, and negative points. Rofl

AMEN!

Where I live is "rural". Heck, might as well call it "wilderness". There's no Internet service here from a broadband provider., and there never will be. My closest neighbor is over 2 miles away. When I moved here, I had to use Verizon's LTE service for internet, and I only get 2 bars here.

But then Starlink came, and saved the day. No more Verizon Jetpack! My Starlink service is great. I do not understand why anyone "rural" that is in the ever-growing Starlink area isn't switching over.

I don't think the answer is having government spend more and mopre taxpayer $$$ on this. Goodness help me, but I worked for several years for Frontier Communications. I know how well this company scams and lies to people about internet speeds, service levels for DSL, etc. They LIVE off the government trough (subsidies), but the service still sucks, and always will suck.

I really wish I currently had mod points, so that I could up-vote this! lol :)

After my first smartphone (Moto Droid), all the rest have been Samsungs. I'm a huge fan of the Note line. Yes, I skipped the 7. lol

Looking at my phone, I have ALMOST no Google apps in the "most used". They are Samsung apps. Samsung Notes, Camera, Gallery, Calendar, etc. I use Truecaller & Signal for phone/text, and Protonmail for email (used to use k-9 before I switched ISPs).

I suppose though that if I wasn't a Samsung fanboy, I'd probably be using more Google apps thought. But I agree with the others here that have said Gmail sux.

REALLY wish I currently had mod points, so I could up-vote this one another level. GREAT breakdown/comment!

I see electric cars as workable for metro areas, maybe even preferable. Even the suburbs possibly. But for people that are remote like myself, that use a "light truck" as a daily driver/hauler, it's just not workable. I'm moving to a more remote location that's off-grid in 2 months. Having to expand the solar/wind set-up to include vehicle charging is just unrealistic. Sure, I could use a generator to do it, but then I'm just trading one ICE for another.

Not to mention the unanswered question of where all the raw materials for these electric cars/batteries are going to come from.

Assuming that question gets answered, in an acceptable way, I'm fine with pushing electric on most people since the majority are urban or semi-urban. As in, they live somewhere with a dependable power-grid. But for those if us rural folks w/o dependable grid-power, there need to be exceptions in the law.

That's the way I read it too. If this is correct, it's a no-brainer of a business case. ROFL

Personally I'm fine with the change. Their Terms of Service are clear on password sharing.

But you're right. They should start on the worst offenders first. Primary user in New York, secondary users in Texas and North Dakota? Start pruning. lol
