You have to pay someone to operate the Robot Coupe, and maintain the space to store it and clean it. Lots of food service situations can make it cheaper to buy prepped veggies.

I'm thinking the survey must have caught some tourists who were in PA at the moment.

What's your definition of a computer? Chromebooks might not be your preferred computer, but they meet every definition of computer that I'm aware of, and I know plenty of people who love them. I know at least two people who run a business from them. They're not for me, but they're great for others.

They did change the API right around then, which is how this data would get pulled.

I have a baby monitor, and considered using an IP camera before buying it. The reason I like mine is because I've got a separate little handheld monitor on RF instead of wifi. There's a handful of situations where it's fine in very handy. Our nanny could use it without us having to set her up with any tech. Works while traveling without having to deal with hotel Wi-Fi or hot spots. Works outside much further than my wifi reaches. I like the RF.

I this this is too harsh.

What the hell. That classifies almost anyone who goes on vacation as rich.

There's a somewhat universal standard for publishing transit information. Not all agencies are fully compliant, but most are on some level.

The repositories for the big distros are so full that you rarely need to ever install anything that isn't already there for you. I use a crapload of software, and I have literally one thing that I've installed that I downloaded from the internet. All updates are handled by the package manager, so there aren't dozens of services running to check for updates. Installing software on linux was already so much easier, byt Flatpak and SNAP have made it absurdity simple.

On windows, you literally go to some website download an executable, and run it. Every time I need to do it for work, I'm shocked that it's such a messy and insecure setup.

Maybe it's because I'm so accustomed to Excel, but Libreoffice Calc is so painful to use. Not the app that's going to win people over.
