Isn't the last version already that..well..last version?

If anything they could just leverage their work with proton that allows steam to play windows games on Linux to provide similar compatibility shims for old windows on modern windows

just say I help improve ad blockers on YouTube and refuse to elaborate.

They don't provide stuff for free, they provide stuff in exchange for your data and to sell ads.

Mega corporations like nestle get their money from us normal civilians not caring about what we consumes impact on the environment.

Like if you literally disbanded nestle over night, not even splitting them up or selling things off but somehow just got rid of them and all their product's... does the negative impact on the environment go away? or do new companies grow to meet the unmet demand and all that's changed is what company is providing cheap goods at the expense of the environment?

rather than allowing edits for invisible edits for X minutes, couldn't your client just delay actually sending it for X minutes allowing to cancel or edit freely until that point?

Gmail allows a similar feature and it seems safer in a distributed system than relying on everyone else to respect what happens after you send a raw message and an edit right after

The average user uses sleep mode and wakes from sleep. Sleep mode should be under 10w, or around $1/mo.

though laptops are notorious for proprietary charging.

I've seen dells that can charge via USBc at full 140w but only on a Dell dock. On any USB PD charger it will only do 60w, and complains about it as it throttles everything.

You're not wrong, but in my case and presumably others there already are USB ports and relevant drivers for both playback of media files, and funny enough for applying security patches or other updates.

In practice I think the concern becomes most USB storage devices are not intended to be constantly written to, while vibrating from the car, and it would definitely destroy data and cause support complaints. But it's still annoying all the hardware and most of the software I want is there and wouldn't take that much more to do what i want.. but instead if they ever do decide to let us use the built in cameras as a dashcam, I expect it will require replacing my entire car with a new model

same but that also just brings up another rant about modern cars. mine has surround view cameras -so you can see a birds eye view when parking. it's really nice. but then why do I have to suction cup a dash cam right next to the built in camera and run a USB cable around my car? please just let us plug in a USB storage device and use the built in cameras as a dash cam.

maybe? it's impossible to predict what effects that would have resulted in but what we ended up with now isn't exactly great.

your options now are either full subscription only, with little audience and a huge barrier to get users as you have tonconvince them it's worth a full size payment.

or convince someone else to pay you, e.g referral links and sponsored posts. this leads to low quality 'reviews' where the best affiliate program wins.

or put advertisers content in your site..and deal with people blocking it, and all the seo spam to get viewers onto those ads..

or..monetize your service by harvesting data on your users to then sell to whoever is willing to pay you for that data..also not good.

maybe if we figured out micropayments early we could have avoided some of that. or maybe we'd just have all of that on top of micropayments. or something even worse to maximize micropayments.

well yes, but it's profitable because customers continue to buy their products and services.

the problem with blaming companies is none of them do this out of desire to hurt the environment. they do it to meet customer demand.

as an example imagine if we all stopped buying gas from Shell. their environmental impact would plummet...and their competitors impact would go up as we continue to buy the same amount of gas from other companies
