Well Microsoft has been working on am ARM version of Windows for at least 10 years that I know of, probably longer.

But every time ARM seems so much better than x86, x86 improves to close the gap.

Power consumption has always been a big driver - laptops today now run all day on battery, or at least half a day, which competes with the ARM battery life advantage.

Reminds me of psych 101 - much of the class thought they had something.

Just as bad, we have Johnson on tape selling it to Kennedy as a way to get past the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Kennedy didn’t believe in it at all.

Johnson wanted the pork for his constituents.

In Johnson’s defense a little, many of his constituents were quite poor and this did bring a lot of development to the area.

It also put the Soviet Union in a tough position of having to try to keep up (though they did have a stellar space program already, but going to the moon was a waste of resources).

Hell, IIRC, they had the first lander on the moon. They were well ahead of the US in many ways.

Kudos to the folks who created it. Ita really good.

Arguing with a fool is like wrestling a pig - all that happens is you both get dirty and the pig likes it.

I’d never heard JB Weld called steel stick, so I had to click!

PC-7 is another brand that’s identical to JB.

And this has been the case since the early 70’s

Same thing that happened to them before - when they were Service Stations.

Others have addressed a lot of this - I think your best approach is to to use a structured learning process, like 30 Days of Linux. I’ll drop a link when I can find it again.

I think the biggest risk for a new user is running commands as root that you don’t fully understand.

Fortunately distros today default to creating a user account during setup so the average user doesn’t run as root by default.

You could do this in a VM before switching.

Preach!

And durability.

I never once heard “an old person” (whatever that means) mis-pronounce “meme”.

And I’ve been around long enough as an adult to pre-date common usage of the term as its known today.

Why would they?

Oswald never shot anyone - he couldn’t have.

Intriguing all around!

PWA app only is a big no sale.

As much as I dislike dedicated apps for things that don’t need it, THIS is something that needs it.

Shit happens in manufacturing.

Some day you should tour both a really modern facility and a very old one (I’ve done work in both).

Sometimes damaged stuff slips through, nothing more.

Contact them via the info on the tube. I’ve never had anything but a good response when doing so, the QA Dept and maintenance want to know when the system drops the ball so they can improve it.

About 40 years

Exactly.

Doctors can be some of the most unscientific people you meet.

They repeatedly apply population level statistics for positive benefits of medications, but don’t do the same for the risks.

Which is wrong from the word go.

It only goes in your canal a small amount. The instructions are really good.

And like you I tested it first.

Neolithic ectoplasm

Alright, I’m stealin’ that!
