OTA updates are not an EV thing. That is all modern cars.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as a Gull, is in fact, Sea/Gull, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Sea plus Gull. Gull is not an categorization unto itself, but rather another component of a full identity made useful by the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species components comprising a full identification as defined by its scientific classification.

This would drive teenage me crazy, fr fr on god.

Sometimes games ship updates that mess with the game. I have over 20,000 hours in WoW. But my play habits from over almost 2 decades ago don't reflect the current quality of the game.

And some people compulsively play games they don't enjoy because "once I get to the next thing, it will finally be fun!" And maybe this person had an awakening and realized that they will never get there... Or after this amount of time had a drastic change of heart.

And some people leave games open when they aren't playing.

I'm not saying this is normal or necessarily healthy, but it's not unfeasible.

It isn't just about ungoogling things though. Having a monoculture in the browser space means that if Google makes a push to favor ads, say by removing certain extension support from their browser engine that everyone uses, then the entire internet suffers. It is effectively a monopoly.

Mozilla tries really hard sometimes to be unappealing, but there is value in not just letting Google have full control over the internet.

"Well I bet your power bill went way up!" Maybe. But not by as much as my gas station bill went down.

$6996.99 per year is $134.56 per week. If you get 5 books per week, that's $26.91 per book. Given the picture includes a single book costing $19.95, that feels very reasonable. Maybe it's 6 books a week, maybe some books are more expensive.

That's a very consistent habit though.

I get conventional mail marked up like it is from the manufacturer claiming my warranty is expiring.

With the added fun bonus that all the things they claim to cover are engine related, and my car is an EV with no engine.

Wine/proton are great but not perfect. Lots of games don't work through proton. "Compatible with linux" can mean doing the work to make sure your windows build is proton friendly and will work on Linux. It doesn't have to mean Linux native.

Because otherwise if you have too many small letters in a row it stops looking like a plural and more like a misspelled word. Because capitalization differences you can make more sense of As but not so much as.

The OG claptrap wouldn't have done it anyway.

"This hardware works fine and even has compatible software that it works great with. But I'm going to prefer the broken software for other reasons. And that means it's the hardware's fault."

Software that is built to be compatible with a wide variety of hardware should be compatible with a wide variety of hardware.

If software can't handle a 16.5:16 aspect ratio, then that's bad software. I don't care how weird of a niche thing that is... just make your software abstract enough to handle those cases.

It's 2024, any resolution/aspect ratio/DPI combo should be supportable. There's enough variety of monitors out there that we should have a solution for handling things on the fly without needing to have a predefined solution.
