Maybe stop villanizing the disadvantaged folks in our society, and put that anger towards the people who have stolen so much from the majority that they put the disadvantaged in the position they are in.
I didn't see the main post doing that in the slightest. The poster is asking what the impact will be.
Also, industry needs zero reason to hold prices or raise them. We are completely divorced from standard economics at this point.
Edit: spelling
I feel this most keenly in the reboots of sitcoms from the 90s/00s. Things like That 90s Show used to have 24 episode seasons where you could do character growth in a bottle episode. This obsession with staying in that 10 episode envelope means that the structures of the shows are so compressed, you don't attach the way these shows needed us to to make them engaging.
I also feel this with NuTrek like Strange New Worlds when they do too many concept episodes that don't move the plot and the balance of the season feels rushed since they can't let anything breathe.
I need my numpad. That was the worst choice for me given my work and workflow at home. I could do without the number row across the top. I guess I haven't really given a great deal of thought to my most maximally effective keyboard layout.
Context: I bought an 80% out of frustration with another logitech keyboard dying an early death with the double strike key issue.
I never understood why they didn't just use the transporter to recreate Tuvok and Neelix. You have their patterns on file when they last transported. Just leave him alive and duplicate those two and you get both scenarios. We have seen examples of duplicates throughout the show. I know this isn't really the point, but it's always felt needlessly contentious when the writers could have just done it.
This was my experience. While I had nothing but time to learn Windows over the years, my time now is more limited. My Creative Sound Blaster sound card worked.... Somewhat under Pop_OS!, but kept having issues. It got to the point that I opted for an external DAC and my issues cleared up.
While I want everything to "just work", I knew my time is more valuable to me than figuring out why this particular hardware didn't want to work, so I swapped it.
I remember the win9x days of looking shit up and figuring it out. Most people nowadays don't have that skill or never had it and onboarded with computers that "just worked".
Side note in my opinion but, that's the insidious nature of Big Tech. They make it so easy to use, you don't care that they pick your pocket for every ounce of data.
Linux, by its nature, is generally ok at most things but you are going to run into walls like the accelerometer mentioned above. Expectations need to be set and if you aren't willing to know how to run your computer, it's going to run you. I view this as no different than understanding the fundamentals of cars so you don't get fleeced at the mechanic. But that's just me. I want a certain level of competence in what I utilize on a daily basis.
I want people to switch. For people like me who have been power users for 20+ years, it's as close to an easy hand off as is ever going to exist. Trying to convince my Normie friends? I'm still fighting that battle and all they do is Facebook, youtube and WoW.
I agree that setting expectations and having to adjust to the new norm should be part of the onboarding speech. "It just works" shouldn't be uttered to anyone short of grandma for email and youtube on a computer you install the software on.
Thats not what the author is saying in the article. He issaying that Trump ratted him out after getting accused of the money laundering for the Russians. It means Trump always knew and only bothered to turn on Epstein after Epstein threatened to out him being a Russian asset.
A surveillance camera?
