Edit: solar radiation is only 1.3kw/m2
Outside earths atmosphere. Only ~650 Watts/m^2 reach the surface of our planet.
Edit: I posted regurgitating some simplified assumption from a text book or something I must have read in the past, the 650 W/m² is wrong.
That is a really accurate and helpful observation. Thank you :) (I mean it, unironically)
Yeah you are probably right. Being able to install (or even execute) your own software would expose all those sweet security loopholes in their network to a talented hacker.
If I can’t install cygwin, a C++ compiler and an editor of choice, then it is useless. But I was assuming (probably too naive) this would be possible.
I have honestly no idea what you mean by “anti-cross platform” or “negative platform”.
If the mother country wasn’t going full on Nazi, as someone who wouldn’t install Windows on anything in my household, I would unironically have used that to test cross-platform-compatibility of my software. Although last time I was looking for renting a VM only for a week or two.
But fuck this, I will no longer care about Windows compatibility.
It was today years old when I realized I am a console lover. Mind blown.
whoa nice! Thanks!
For people trying to configure that in mozilla (I am trying to get away from it but for now :/)

Our system (in the end it’s the same no matter where you are) is so fucked up :/ Kids need to learn empathy and selflessness as the most important school subject.
While I would love to see them never going back, here in Germany, all it takes is some corrupt politician taking a huge bribe from a lobbyist and swoosh, they are back to Microslop.
Edit: Knowing our little corrupt fuckers in charge in German politics, the bribe probably doesn’t even have to be mediocre.
And again I have to say Jensen Huang is a piece of shit.
Plain version is the one to pipe output for further processing. ls | wc -l
In other words: “It is indeed a surprise if you are a moron” ;)
The average user doesn’t install windows though. They buy the pc/laptop with Windows on it already, and use it till it’s in the ground.
Thanks for confirming my point. Windows isn’t easier to operate, it just comes preinstalled.
[…] cause if/when anything breaks, the fix isn’t approachable
Nor is it likely to be manageable for that user to fix issues on Windows
My line, thanks for saving me the work of typing it out this time.
And this elitist approach and tone is what turns a lot of folks away from even trying linux. Also, sure CLI might be great for a lot of devs, but regular users do need a GUI. And that is not fully there yet.
Regular users who “need a GUI” would be completely unable to install Windows at all, because the setup including activation (or workarounds) is way too complex for them. They might be able to install Linux from scratch though, because various distributions have good GUI installers and/or live images.
It appears you have not installed any Windows from scratch in a long time, or tried to harden it, or solve a driver problem there. That’s why you get confused. I was not saying Linux is always easy, I was saying it has overtaken Windows in almost every aspect, also because on Windows things have become more complex.

At this point, the remaining voluntary (as in: not forced by work) windows users are one giant ass Stockholm syndrome victim group/
Almost everything in Linux is easier to set up than on Windows, and thanks to the command line and basic architecture not changing, 10-15 year old tips are still valid today more often than not. Unlike Windows.
And Windows users who would fail to set up Linux from scratch & read online references to fill their knowledge gaps have most definitely never set up a Windows machine themselves, and are instead using preinstalled OSes, and buy a new computer when they need to upgrade to a newer OS version, as well as take their computer to an IT service person when something breaks.
On the power outside the atmosphere I didn’t comment because I was too lazy to look it up, the and I knew the number of the previous commenter was in the ballpark.
Regarding the surface: my apologies, I quoted a number from university that must have been a simplification for a calculation exercise, and I made the mistake of never thinking about it critically. Turns out I was wrong.
