"How is it a good thing to refuse to provide our warfighters with the tools that they need?" Perhaps you should consider that this is a loaded question. I don't think HN needs this sort of Argumentum ad Passiones.

I am currently trying to wrangle this UI. It is called VCL and it was initially created in the early 1990s. If you want to see my efforts, I have a number of branches on github: Phase 5 can be located here: https://github.com&#x2

Yes, but it took some time before the suck became so bad too many people started to notice, and those people weren’t tech people. Most people had never even heard of Linux. It has taken a lot of very bad things on Windows for it to get to t

I’ve been working at a school that uses a mix of Surfacebooks, HP Elitebooks and MacBook Air M2s (now migrating everyone to M4s!). I used to prefer Windows for work. After the absolutely abysmal performance using a SurfaceBook Pro, never ag
