Boiling a mug of water by blowing hot air on it is going to take a while. My guess is if someone was to try this (which I don't recommend) it's going to take longer than 10-12 minutes.

The only two games I have that I've put more than 1000 hours in are Factorio and Rimworld. I'd highly recommend both.
It's not actually wrong, but it certainly didn't answer the actual question.
The size increase in hard drives around that time was insane. Compared to the mid-90's which was just a decade ago, hard drives capacities increased around 100 times. On average, drive capacities were doubling every year.
Then things slowed down. In the past 20 years, we've maybe increased the capacities 30-40 times for hard drives.
Flash memory, on the other hand, is a different story. Sometime around 2002-3 or so I paid something like $45 for my first USB flash drive - a whole 128MB of storage. Today I can buy one that's literally 1000 times larger, for around a third of that price. (I still have that drive, and it still works too!)
That chart doesn't really show the recent price hike. Late last year, I bought an 8TB Samsung SATA SSD for $350. If I wanted to buy that same drive today, it would be $630.
On the other hand, If I can get $20k a month with one of the safest investments around, I'm not screwing around with the stock market.
The Samsung monitors we get at the office still appear to be just dumb screens. No remote or anything like that. But that's from their business lineup of monitors. Wouldn't surprise me too much if their consumer/gamer lineup would be different.
I have to say, they really should come up with a different name. Searching and finding the website for a company named "Why!" is pretty much impossible with today's search engines.
Around here, people pay a lot of money to make their cars/trucks/bikes sound loud and shitty. Yeah, you do occasionally see a clapped out beater being loud too, but they are the rare exception now.
Pan Am no longer exists?
Most of those apps could be replaced by a website that will work anywhere. But a website can't spy on you as easily.... so they push apps instead.

Excel is a spreadsheet, and spreadsheets like Excel are first and foremost aimed at accounting sort of tasks. Whether they actually need Excel versus something like Google Docs or Libreoffice is another thing. The big thing with Excel is that it gets used (and abused) to do things that it's not really intended for doing such as those spreadsheets that are full of macros trying to be an application, or those spreadsheets that are trying to be a database, and so forth.
From an engineering perspective, I find Excel to be annoying because it's clearly first and foremost an accounting tool, and some of its behaviors like the way it rounds numbers and tries to turn everything into a date is downright obnoxious. I still use it from time to time for quick and dirty things like whipping up a couple of plots quickly (and this doesn't really need Excel... but at work all the computers have Excel), but otherwise for anything more complicated I'd probably switch to something else.
