I have been using the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active line of 8in tablets for a few years now and I believe they meet your requirements. It's not a flagship product but I take my Active5 wherever I travel as it can withstand shock, sand, and rain.

Wrong. I have walked many times alone in the winter on a path through a forest at 5 am when I did my military service. No moon or much beauty there. Also there was a pack of ferral dogs that barked at me while I kept them at distance with a stick. I'm not making this up, I was fine. But nice try.

Yeah, tell your kid, at night: "Our street is dark? Don't worry, keep walking, everything will be fine."

Ever since Man discovered fire it has been used to provide light and comfort at night in human dwellings. Kept people together, kept dangerous animals at bay, provided a sense of security. Imagine a city without lights at night today, like after a natural disaster or during a war -- the overwhelming fear, the lawlessness. Now some academics are worried about the disruption caused by light to urban plants' phenology. Get a life, please.

Apple "forgot" that iMessage and Facetime are Apple only apps. Most people in Europe and elsewhere use Whatsapp because it doesn't require an Apple account and works with both iOS and Android smartphones.

However, they should not forget that Document Foundation, parent of LibreOffice, is based in Berlin and is legally registered in Germany. OpenOffice.org itself is developed by Sun Microsystems and Oracle.

That's what it took.

I guess Pardus is some sort of non-profit? Do you get distro support from them? Because you know, all is great until something goes wrong. BTW, companies like Redhat use the same business model: you pay for support, and for some supportive proprietary software, if you wish. Good for you if you found more convenient support for a custom (language) distro. My guess is many countries now fear being left out in the cold like RU was.

The US decision to help move TSMC production facilities to US territory actually is bad news for Taiwan. It entails the US will not be motivated to become involved militarily, should China decide to seize Taiwan. Think Crimeea, which Russia seized it while nobody moved a finger. The strategic objective in Crimeea was militay bases, in Taiwan itâ(TM)s high tech technology and factories.

How is this going to solve the problem of international planes not having retrofitted their altimeter radars while landing in the US?

Look around you: see many people running a Linux desktop computer? At the office, at the mall, at the airport?

I agree with you. For consumers and creators (especially if they have big pockets) macOS will continue to be an option. Linux is powerful but as useful as a powertool for a traveler shipwrecked on a deserted island.

I think the dock was a NextStep innovation.

Win 11 is a beta version for consumers to help debug new features over the next few years while Enterprise complete the migration to Win 10 and Office 365. MS make little money from selling consumer Win licenses.

Except the EOL date ;)
