    I've tried Affinity. Unfortunately a literal lifetime of photoshop has made it basically impossible to switch. It's like getting into a car and all the buttons are rearranged and b…

    Hopefully a cure comes as a form of vaccine so some folks can be totally against that. I don't think mental stimulation correlates to the development of alzheimers anyway. The pape…

    Windows doesn't need explorer to actually function, it's just another component that adds optional extras to the desktop environment such as the task bar and desktop icons. Kill ex…

    Files will always exist conceptually as a way of expressing data. The notion of sharing exists because of sandboxing and the need to exchange data between apps. This has been exten…

    It depends on the manufacturer. Some are better than others. Some document pretty well but are overshadowed by crap manufacturing. Personally I really like how Tesla did their onli…

    Newer cars do have lower maintenance and repair costs. This is why vehicles with over 100k miles still fetch a fair amount of money. Computers are very good at doing the same thing…

    Not really. The issue with modern automobiles they don't really report much useful information about themselves beyond general upstream faults. One issue can flag errors in five mo…

    Same thing that happens if a brake line pops, steering wheel locks up, or the throttle gets jammed open. There are ways of designing redundancies into those systems. Multiple commu…

    Not so much snow, as you have rapidly changing road conditions such as ice and freezing rain. And then factor in poor road markings and not always abundantly clear path finding. Th…

    Yeah animated mouse wheel zoom will do it. And as a bonus "Photos" takes a lot longer to load. And what's this? "Edit an image using AI". Yeah, the pop ups. Unfortunately you have …

    > contemplating a 32 or 43 Definitely a 32. 43 is a bit much. Edit: Unless you're an office manager and plan on watching football most of the day.
