The pinky finger isn't used for '.' (ring) or ',' (middle). As for stretching, your hands get used to it and the muscles build up to it.

Copying your files to the cloud is not a backup when deleting a file means it's gone forever. What if you accidentally delete some files and need them back? You need a real backup for that, not a cloud.

Then play Monopoly. The game was designed to teach people the flaws of capitalism. Imagine playing Monopoly without buying any properties and only collecting $200 every round. You wouldn't last long.

The trick to Mastodon is to follow hashtags instead of people. I have a couple of people I follow but I mostly follow hashtags relevant to my interests. The signal-to-noise ratio is very high. This also means it is critical to include hasht

Follow hashtags. I don't follow anyone on Mastodon. That way I only see posts that are relevant to my interests.

Why can't it be both? Make it simple but also have advanced features tucked away for power users that aren't visible to users who want it simple.

Motorola was ahead in the beginning with a better architecture and more performance, but didn't have as much money as Intel had from PC clones to pour into improving it and eventually fell behind Intel in performance. IBM wanted to use

That is an excellent point. Warner's Atari would have undoubtedly ended up with the Amiga but would Warner's Atari have survived long enough to bring out an Amiga console or computer? It was hemorrhaging money. Once it died, who i

You are not taking crazy pills. You just had a bad experience because you bought a low quality accelerator and video card for your Amiga. The different types of RAM were part of the reason the Amiga was so powerful and was a feature, not a

Over half of the Amigas sold worldwide were the 500 model and, in Europe, most people with an Amiga had the 500 or 1200 at home for gaming so you would see it when you visited. The Amiga was less popular in the US and used more for graphics
