It won't "cannibalize" the PC market share. But I would argue that the overall market share is irrelevant. Most people don't even use Adblock/UBlock for Web browsing, so they don't even know what's best fo

Problem with 10 LTSC is the fact that it's based on 21H2, and there definitely isn't going to be a feature update for it, now that 11 LTSC is out. Some games already require 22H2.

The average commenter here is a software guy. I imagine for the average software guy a Master Caution would be like a minor compile-time warning, i.e. feel free to just disregard it. :)

It wouldn’t change anything. The line between a “mayday - fuel emergency” and any other flight waiting for a landing slot is crystal clear. Of course, in low-but-not-emergency fuel scenarios the pilots can request priority, but the ATC don’

If you cut into the final reserve, it’s a full-blown emergency requiring a mayday call. This should not happen. So what’s there to investigate? How it was allowed to happen, and how to prevent it from happening again. EDIT: it’s a mayday ev

Have you seen what Count Bernadotte proposed in 1948?

That rule was brought about by the UN Security Council Resolution 242. And funnily enough, nobody objected when Egypt annexed Gaza, and Jordan annexed the West Bank in 1948. As far as the international law is concerned, Israel was completel

I actually fail to see how the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank violates international law (not that international law means anything), aside from the obvious fact that they weren’t outright annexed after 1967, when Israel was on rock-s

Haha. No. Hamas goal with October 7 was exactly this. To provoke an Israeli overreaction in order to derail the diplomatic recognition talks between Israel and the Saudis. Hamas just underestimated how much it would actually cost. Or maybe
