If you need something to hate on them (and they absolutely deserve it for way more than just this, it just stands out as an obvious one) - they put adverts in the start menu, and they were still present in Windows 10.

Solutions are already being made for spent nuclear fuel, no reason why that wouldn't apply in this scenario. In fact its massive overkill for this particular situation but still an option if its needed: https://www.youtube.c

I assume you're referring to what the upgrade guide refers to as "Backward Incompatible Changes". If so reading through the list I can't see a single one on there that has a major impact, in fact I'd wager that 99%

The trick is to use the same provider. I did it with the Expedia api for a while. At the time they were using AWS so running it on Lambda made it very tricky for them to do much about it. They were hardly about to block all AWS IP's an

Touchscreens are perfectly fine on phones, tablets etc. But for something like a car it takes a special kind of idiot to implement a touch only way of controlling things like heating/ac, volume, etc. Even for certain audio controls it

Sightly different comparing a cms to an entire programming language. A more apt comparison would be your career being entirely focused on Umbraco or OpenCMS rather than dotnet or java.

MacRumors isnt the site it once was. The amount of clickbait crap on there has gone up significantly. Very much on its way out. Dont bother trying to discuss that on their feedback forums though, its an instant permaban for even suggesting

Surely drivers know what Yield means though right? I guess the US might need yield signs at a roundabout given not all drivers will get the basics of how they work. There should never be a stop sign on a roundabout, the whole point is you&#

Nobody in their right mind would ever class that as a roundabout. You dont stick a high speed road directly through a roundabout. An actual roundabout DOES solve the tbone issue.

Matt, with the greatest of respect - shut up, and get off the internet until this is over. You just keep digging the hole and making things worse for yourself. In this instance, you are not the smartest guy in the room, and anything you say
