Seriously, why should restore points have that kind of limit?
I suspect it's to free up disk space for the Windows Recall feature that Microsoft is bringing back.

There's a reason why fiat currency exists and it's not to ruin your fun. It's a little thing called stability.
Stablecoins have their value pegged to fiat currency. That's why they're called stable. Its not about speculation, it's about an alternative to exchange mechanisms like VISA, Matercard, PayPal, etc.
I don't personally think trade imbalance with an equivalent country is bad, but if I did, I would first gather better metrics and make it per capita.
Thank you. As a Canadian I find it aggravating that Trump is so obsessed with our trade deficit. USA has around 8 times the population of Canada. Why would we buy the same amount of goods from each other?
You can crunch the the numbers for yourself, using US Government data. Annually, Canadians buy $8,735 per capita in U.S. goods. Americans buy $1,213 per capita in Canadian goods. Yet Trump has the impudence to refer to this as "subsidizing Canada".
In theory, if the price rises high enough, it should incentivize other software vendors to develop competitive products. If Adobe's lead is so far ahead that nobody can ever catch up, then it's edging close to monopoly territory. Companies with so large an advantage have been subject to government intervention before.
I can't fault Adobe for extorting the market value.
There FTFY.
They don't force anyone to buy their products. People do it voluntarily.
A year of their software now costs more than the entire creative suite did back with a perpetual license.
There's an old adage in sales that the value of a thing equals whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I completely agree that, for me, Adobe's prices are too high. But since many are willing to pay the price, I can't fault Adobe for extracting the market value.

Good luck with that. There are always going to be things for which an equally-good opensource alternative doesn't exist. And for commercial solutions, vendors invariably want recurring revenue. A similar annoyance - try to find a game for your smartphone that is ad-free and doesn't nag about in-app purchases. I would gladly pay upfront for that experience, but I think it no longer exists.

Isn't that EXACTLY the problem? We ask questions because we want answers, not highly polished bullshit hallucinated by a sociopathic AI.
They're talking about how ChatGPT currently uses multiple web searches when formulating an answer. No, it's not a problem. In fact, it seems to be steadily improving and less prone to hallucination. And referring to AI as "sociopathic" seems a tad hyperbolic - no?
Put it in the trash with the rest of them
Yes, let's stop trying to advance at all. We've been wrong many times in the past, therefore we can never be right in the future.
Can anyone explain to me where the real time demand for computing in space is coming from? Or why there's any value in "space computing infrastructure"?
.
I took it to mean that for computations involving a large amount of data, they are bypassing the need to transmit all the data down to Earth and then back again after processing. This avoids potential bandwidth limitations, and allows computations to happen in real time.
Of course most of us are immune to that kind of manipulation
If you've been around the Internet long enough, you probably remember the ILOVEYOU virus of 2000.
Within ten days, over fifty million infections had been reported, and it is estimated that 10% of Internet-connected computers in the world had been affected. That's 50,000,000 people who were suckered into launching a virus because a random email said "I Love You".
