Ubuntu extends the Gnome desktop in ways that make it a more "traditional" desktop environment.

Ubuntu, probably the most popular distro, has this type of extension as a default.

Clearly, law based on US definitions of terms is the only way to be free.

Of course they were recycled, there are valuable minerals in these devices.

So why not get something cheaper and more compact, like the Lenovo glasses?

The issue with Vision Pro is that it's a fundamentally unappealing product and wouldn't sell in enough volume for Apple at any price.

Why? That's not usually part of a forum conversation.

And they'll keep updating contracts to sell ads for a defunct site? Seems doubtful. Past experience shows that the site is unlikely to stay up for the long haul.

Those ad dollars will diminish quickly, and pretty soon it will be more expensive to keep the website up than to just take it down.

Not going to happen.

More often, there are no drive bays, because no one has those anymore.

That thing never was "a beast"

You were already told why, seems you're not actually curious but want to make a weird point instead.

They're very obviously not nonsense, look at all the shattered screens on phones around out. And there's absolutely 0 chance your screen doesn't have a ton of microscratches.

Apple isn't just "a retailer", and regulators seem to agree. Also, Google provides seven years of updates for their current Pixel devices.

Why would the Chrome engine being dominant be all that problematic? And as a user, I'd like to make that choice for myself. Also, Safari wouldn't vanish just because you'd be able …

But that wouldn't vanish the patent issue?

Seems unlikely shops are locking up items to inconvenience people of a specific skin type.

Seems there's no material increase in organized shoplifting, but that doesn't change the claims about regular shoplifting? Seems like you're not actually disputing anything.

Why is it a better OS because of that? Not really seeing the logical connection here.

What's so dystopian about it? Is this just the weird Anglo-Saxon cultural thing of ID cards being way worse than passports and state IDs for incomprehensible reasons?

Installing another browser is way easier than changing the search default.
