Any time I have tried to use Windows 10, I have been put off by the inexplicable input lag. I touch the trackpad, then a few hundred ms later the cursor moves. It feels like wading through treacle. This is a fresh install on a Thinkpad X1 E

Whether they would benefit from it is a different question to whether they want it and are bothered jumping through the hoops necessary to use it. I have been in a few places with governments that qualify as "regimes." I have used

They are. Militaries around the world agree. So do doctors who prescribe them for narcolepsy and other disorders. I think it is a good name. The fact remains that in most places amphetamines are an illegal drug when acquired without a presc
