That’s not my point though. I was just saying that the rich people of the world really do seem totally okay with the idea of a class of people who cannot afford anything.

I think they do think that though. Companies seem to have realized they can make more money with less sales by pricing the lowest bidding consumer group out of the market.

Instagram has existed for 14 years and 11 months. I think you might be pushing it on the not 15 years.

But more importantly though, Windows XP was supported for 18 years…

So it’s not like it can’t be done.

Fair enough, though modern cameras are much smaller:

The line between smartphone and dumbphone has always been very blurry.

I’ve seen a few devices go by recently trying to capture that use case. Some have looked promising but I still have a Zune.

There is nothing about those that can’t run on KaiOS, which comes with Google maps and runs on most dumb phones on the market today.

I highly recommend just getting a real camera. The pictures I took with my camera 11 years ago are still better quality than an iPhone can manage today. Modern cameras are far far better.

Sony still makes an Android equivalent.

I really hate when people are like “just stop” like everyone has impeccable self control and executive function.

This is the same reason I haven’t switched. My parents use it to watch the local OTA channels and I have zero intention of supporting a site to site VPN on their home network and multiple mobile devices.

Garden hose filters prevent lime scale from destroying whatever is attached to the hose.

MacOS is a full Unix distribution and is an odd mishmash of an OS that used to care about power users and a weird iOS based facade. You can actually do quite a few of the things in macOS that you can do in Linux you just have to know where to look, some things have been hidden from the Applications folder but can still be found using Spotlight for instance. MacOS even still has a native X11 implementation for what it’s worth.

I would still prefer Linux but given the choice I will take macOS over Windows every time.

I just mean don’t rely on backups that you haven’t proven you can restore from. Practice doing a restore when you are happy with your solution to make sure it works.

The only thing worse than losing all your data because you did’t back it up is losing all your data because you didn’t make sure your backup was restorable.

When people were first using it they were coming from DOS or older machines. Many were using a mouse for the first time. It wasn’t simpler to them.

Office would have a learning curve too if you hadn’t been using it since you were a child.

Whenever you do something that results in the death of another human there needs to be an investigation. From what I can tell no culpability has been found yet, but there is at least some evidence that this person was being held against their will.

However, lots of European countries treat violence like the US treats porn so this could easily be something similar to the pearl clutching that would happen here if somebody was asphyxiated during a BDSM livestream.

That can be repaired. It’s not particularly easy, but it can be done and there are people who do it especially for old arcade machines.

As of 2010, LG Electronics produced one model of OLED television, the 15-inch (38 cm) 15EL9500.

No offense, but I doubt you have an LG OLED from 2008.
