As the saying goes: Jack of all trades, master of none.

FWIW, there have been native windows compiled versions for pretty much all the major linux commandline tools since forever; grep, awk, sed, cat, tac, wget, wc, uniq, etc.
No need to install any emulation or translation layers or dependencies like cygwin, just straight up individual native windows binaries that work from any command prompt or batch file. As long as it's at least a 32-bit executable it will work on modern 64-bit windows.

Only caveat is that windows command prompt uses ^ as the escape character, so syntax might be slightly different like having to use ^^ instead of ^ when using regex with grep.

When Apple Maps launched, it didn't have turn-by-turn navigation support at all, while the google maps that it replaced did.
Apple absolutely launched it before it was ready, taking existing functionality away when doing so.

...If the converter machine is powered by solar, wind or other renewable source, this would make a gasoline car carbon neutral.

Unfortunately, fewer and fewer hosting companies provide their own email services; over the past years most of them have migrated to 3rd party services like Microsoft's Exchange Online or Google's business email, both of which charge significantly more per mailbox.

When Godaddy did that a few years ago I looked at a lot of places, and the best option I came across was OpenSRS/Tucows, who has been around since 1999. they still only charged $0.50/month per mailbox or so. Only caveat is that they don't sell directly to end users, but provide services to 3rd party resellers. However, anyone can sign up for a reseller account.

Part of signing up as a reseller is paying $100, but that then gives you $100 credit for services in your account. At just $0.50/month per mailbox, that will last a long time. You do have the option to turn off your public reseller/online ordering portal and just use it for personal/friend/family.

Before it was widely known what he was like:

If you are applying for an office job and and see Dilbert strips posted everywhere, you should be concerned.

...But if you walk through their office and you don't see any at all, you should worry more.

Google pretty much had to support JPEG-XL, because the PDF association declared it to be the preferred format for embedded images in the latest PDF standard.

If they want chrome to be able to show PDF files going forward, then JPEG-XL support is required as well.

This is the kind of thing that makes zero sense for regular consumers (for exactly the reason you mention), but it could be a great system for companies that operate a large number of cars internally, e.g. UPS/FedEx/USPS, or even car rental places, where a returning electric car can be ready for re-deployment in far less time than it would take to re-charge them the conventional way.
At least fleet cars would keep re-using their own batteries instead of receiving someone else's potential garbage.

Or those fun old "universal" phone chargers, which had one wallbrick with 10 different molded cables for Sanyo, Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, etc. Which were all slightly different. And then when a friend visited and asked for a charger, they needed standard #11 which wasn't compatible with the 10 yours had.

And remember that the EU didn't mandate usb c: they told the tech industry to figure out some standards on their own or else... . It wasn't until AFTER the Samsungs, Amazon's, LGs and Sonys of the world all started standardizing their stuff with USB c and it hit critical mass that the EU mandated everyone else should follow that. It could just as easily been lightning cables if that was the direction the tech industry had decided to go.

Just remember: Japanese cars and electronics used to be a joke too, until they weren't.
Then they ate Detroit for lunch.

There is no reason other countries can't pull off the same, and then some.

...Their rationale for only showing hours and minutes and hide the seconds of the digital clock in the system tray was to "save power" https://devblogs.microsoft.com...

Which works great, until it doesn't. You risk that any future update can include cpu instructions which your system doesn't support, which could result in instability, crashes, or even being unable to boot. You're taking a /risk/ circumventing the cpu requirements. It may be an acceptable risk to you, but could come as a total surprise to the owner of a system who you helped upgrade on non-supported hardware.

You know what they call alternative medicine which actually works? Medicine.

Won't help, since amazon mixes inventory. All "new" items with the same SKU end up in one bin. Any marketplace seller who claims to have new stuff and offers "fullfilled by amazon" will simply send their batch to Amazon, and it will be mixed right in with the rest of the legit stock. You have zero guarantees that Amazon's own sales came from the legit distribution channel instead of a marketplace sellers trunk who lied through their teeth to Amazon that it was new. /Same for straight-up ounterfit chargers and such mixed in with genuine Samsung, etc.
