What marketing genius uses a mouse upside down.

Good to know

What? I need syncthing-android, where is it going?

Yes, i though this, too, but usually companies address this by issueing vouchers that can be only be used for certain businesses or products. This makes sure, the expense shows up as food on the invoice. Nobody cares if employees find a loophole to buy non-food. The company issued food vouchers. That will do.

Valid question. You can ask this about many things:

Would the Internet as we know it exist if Facebook, AOL, and Yahoo had united to create a walled garden?

Would Macbooks as we know them today exist without an open source ecosystem? Would the company Appke exist? Would there be an iPhone?

Would the web exist without Linux? Both developed at the same time, 1991 till now, and most stuff runs on Linux servers.

Would the people who build all the hardware and software even be interested in computers had they not played with (build) computers in the 90ies? What if we had given them an iPad aith CandyCrush that just works; and not BIOS codes, cables, extension cards and drivers?

And shit-ass is what you have to deal with when babies become teenagers?

And poop butt is good? This poop-butt device mows the lawn in seconds. ???

Everytime you are in a meeting that could have been an email, remember that there are police raids that could be solved by looking at Google maps for 30sec.

You are assuming the Sheriff acted totally normal just before abusing their power.

Dell, the company known for their onsite sales.

Sure, if they had a website or something, they could work remotely, but someone needs to be present when customers flock in.

Every time, I’m ready to jump the Ubuntu ship and go back to Debian or Mint, they announce something interesting; something I’d at least want to try.

Standard SMS/MMS are the de facto standard in the US

SMS have been used extensively around the world. That’s texting in it’s original form. And we still use SMS to bootstrap WhatsApp or Signal.

But MMS? Phones and carriers have supported this long before smartphones, but did people really use it? Are MMS free in the US? Because in Europe, before WhatsApp and Signal took over, the was a price tag on SMS (last non-zero price I remember is 0.09€, now free) and MMS (no idea because no one uses it, but I believe 0.39€ was typical at some point).

Tell them about the app store

There’s an app for that

I understand all this, but how ste the videos actually sent if it’s neither RCS nor a link (which could have any resolution).

MMS? Like caveman?

In this case, Apple and the wife are both to blame. This is

• ancient technology
• that was never really used anywhere

Come on.

They have those at airports.

Yes. And depending on the the VM and the app, you can get a ‘seamless mode’ that looks like a native Linux app.

VMs work most of the time quite well if you have enough RAM. (The VM always works, some applications will detect unusual hardware and may complain, e.g. unsupported GPU. Any sane software should run, though (e.g. with gpu acceleration).)

What do you do with your used telephone booths?

The bots faking real users’ streaming to gain profit is the questionable part. AI generated cheap content (created en masse for profit) will be the norm soon. If you think about it, quality content is already the exception.

I don’t get it

I wouldn’t even try with wine these days.

Why don’t you use the Win10 machine you have, the online version of Microsoft Office (web browser or app), a VM with Windows, or (if it works for your case) Google Docs or OnlyOffice.
