Then they will provide something. In the best case regular security updates, I can imagine any reasonable way to force them to add new features during support period.

Well, I'm doing this but my Caps Lock is mapped to Control. Anyway, you are probably right, there are dozens of us. On the other hand I've seen couple of discussions here around Ubiquity and MicroTik in consumer environments some

Not quite, but you are close. It wasn't the whole population in 1984 that was monitored. Inner Party members were monitored, but could turn off telescreens. Outer Party members had to have them on all the time. Proles weren't moni

Free extensions seem to be allowed. Check this one for example: https://marketplace.qt.io/products/incredibuild Obviously it needs Incredibuild server and license, but the plugin is distributed via Qt Marketplace free

Windows Update makes Windows barely usable. Weekly restarts to update OS at random points in time are unacceptable. There are plenty of other usability issues, for me lack of working Unix-like shell out of the box is one of them.

The web view is the email client they provide. The statistic shows how people access their email account, not where it's hosted.

Old, well-known feature of one of the most popular languages. I must be missing something, because I have no idea how this became a hacker "news" :)

From my experience in Europe: hostels imply a bunk bed in shared room here too. I just made a quick search on booking.com for a hostel in Warsaw and nearly all of the offers were shared dormitories.

What do you mean "fake 3d"? They are as 3D as any other computer generated images with linear perspective. Quake is even using a rasterizer like nearly all games today.
