I hear Boeing ordered 6 of these rockets all ready

Maybe $11.99, they won’t actually confirm that till checkout

It grinds my gears for so many reasons, but most of all, it creates a huge vulnerability with little or no benefit to the end user. Needlessly adding extra online exposure, just so they can data mine.

They probably change them to .com as they privatize them

I don’t think it’s about not wanting to hear it, more so about the language used, that feels overboard. I feel it’s a combination of a car industry regulator in need of updating their terminology and news outlets looking to make everything sound sensational - the end result leaving you feel like you’ve been mislead about what’s actually going on.

Maybe it’s just burger king, so they can look at your selfies on Instagram and know when to fill your ad space with burgers 😜🍔

Now you’re showing your ignorance - your statement is empirically false.

Now that I have a work laptop, I’ve installed Linux on my home computer and it was simple and runs fantastically - actual results may vary as I work in IT and have grown up with a high tech involved family. However, the hill I’m happy to die on, is the fact that using Excel above a basic level in business, where information needs to be shared with non-technical staff cannot be replicated in Linux, and that Excel is still the best product to do this.

There are still use cases for windows. We have a predominately Linux environment (server and desktop), and a development team that build 80% of our operational software. That team are not fans of windows, but come across quite a few use cases where they have to use it because a 3rd party program won’t run on Linux; or an external connection requires a windows service; or there is no comparable product available on Linux (MS Excel is the one thing keeping me on windows). Even ignorance plays a part, because end users can still have had limited access to technology over their lives and in Australia that usually means windows computers in schools. I deal with staff in their 20’s and 30’s who know nothing of how technology works outside of “push that button and the thing happens”, if that button is a different colour, or shape, or location, shift is over, go home - they don’t care why it’s changed and definitely don’t want to learn a new way to do it. We’re somewhere between American data cowboys and the GDPR when it comes to data safety in Australia, which MS can be BS at and the integration burns more of our teams time than it should, but it’s still a necessary evil - even if it’s just when dealing with customers and vendors

That’s what I was thinking. I foresee him retiring on fat stacks of cash in 5 years, that he made by pumping up the stock price with claims he won’t have to worry about fulfilling
