1 and 2 are part of the same Vista/7 era Control Panel UI. 3 I believe is even older than that, maybe since 95 4 is the MMC. The MMC is actually great and I am disaponted to see it lose favor. You can even use the MMC to remotely admin

Your claim is provably false. Large scale software development without management is proven to be possible by the existence of functioning FLOSS projects like the Linux kernel, various GNU tools, KDE and plenty of other examples. I have not

I do not consider Canon's mounts to be better than Sony's E-mount. Canon is stuck with 2 mounts, the EF-M and the RF, with the RF being the more future proof one. But there is no way to adapt the EF-M to the RF. And there is no wa

And it is perfectly fine to require any app available on the Apple App Store to offer Apple Payments as the default option. Anyone who wants to stick to Apple payments should be able to do so. It is not ok to block any other option or even

x86_32, x86_64, arm, arm64, POWER , RISC-V and several others are alive and kicking. China is making their own ISA. And there is still plenty of space and time for new ISAs to be created. Portability is still plenty relevant.
