Have you bothered to hit the bay, get the service manual for your vehicle, and try to find out what it would take?

So from 2001-2014 I guess? 2001 is when Mac OS X came out and 2014 is when a non-crippled free Visual Studio came out.

The RDF really did a number on you, huh?

Yes:

To complain is a verb that means to express dissatisfaction, pain, or resentment about a situation. It involves stating that something is wrong, unfair, or inadequate.

Thanks, dictionary.com! I wish everyone was smart enough to use you!

He was wrong, and NeXTStep is an admission that he was wrong, especially since it became Mac OS X. And if you believe he was right, which you clearly do because you gave this as an example of what he did right, then you're wrong too.

If Apple would let people turn off what they're not using, it wouldn't be a problem.

Dangerous like FSD driving you into a wall or under a tractor trailer and disabling itself a fraction of a second before the crash so Tesla can claim it's not their fault? Shill harder.

OnStar systems detect that a collision has occurred and dial 911 for you. The phone can't do this as well, though it could perhaps do it. The service also has other features. I don't think it's a good deal (I don't want the spyware either) but it's not just a phone with an emergency button.

The goal of commercial software is to get paid, but Microsoft has been sleazebag number one or two in computing since forever. (It's hard to decide these days between them, IBM, and Oracle...) More on-topic though, if Microsoft wanted to ensure Xbox compatibility then they would have had to also require a relatively advanced GPU, which they didn't do.

That's why I said it was sideways. The distinction is artificial.

The mission is fuck you and with no remorse.

Yes, and spare no sleazebaggery.

I did it for a while, it's nice that they package the necessary files with the kernel, but it's nicer to not have to. These days I get a current kernel and a ntsync module without having to do anything special.

On one hand, stability is more important than new shiny. On the other, I have long awaited features which aren't available in some software versions, including in KDE where I really don't want to replace the whole thing.

It is, and I understand that, but I still place most of the blame with Google for creating such a distinction. It smacks of incompetence to not plan for users to be able to operate apps intended for one of those environments in theyl other

Nah, they will keep slowing down old devices with new features users didn't ask for in order to induce additional sales

"The US military isn't socialist, except that it tries to provide for it's members in compensation for the risks they take."

It should try harder

I live in a rural area where no provider works well, you insensitive clod!
