To be honest, this is part of why TVs can be offered for so cheap these days. Same reason really cheap phones are stuffed with bloatware. Luckily with TVs you can freeload: just never connect it to the internet and only apply updates via US

Buying Studio grants a lifetime license to the current major version only. It's just that DaVinci has been upgrading everyone for free with every major update. They can stop doing that at any moment. Not that they'll ever do that.

It's not really a fundamental problem if plastic was only used for things that are meant to stay whole a long time. Say an RFID tag or a piece of trim on a car. Currently we put supermarket-made perishable salads in a plastic container

The old models were doing it correct also. There is no one correct way to interpert 'full'. If you go to a wine bar and ask for a full glass of wine, they'll probably interpert that as a double. But you could also interpert i

An UI would be fine, but having no permission to access ~/ is a terrible default. It causes a lot of breakage and glitchiness because applications are simply not written with that limitation in mind. This is why Flatpaks often crap out

With how often severe CVEs pop up years or even decades later, that is an unwise line of thinking. In 2020, iOS suffered a zero day exploit based on font library code from the 90s . A bug that sat dormant for 30 years. As far as rewriting
