In terms of driver development it’s more collaborating than just Windows releasing an API and the manufacturers creating the drivers. Bug reports from large manufacturers are absolutely taken seriously. Customers usually never see this interaction.

I would say maybe 1990-2010 was really a dominant time for Windows and that was also when they were actively improving, but now they have plenty of competition. It’s just that people have moved away from desktops. Mobile platforms are now an existential threat. Fewer and fewer people are buying desktops to begin with. Maybe Microsoft has given up on desktops and that’s why they’re making Windows worse.

Dating is like that hill everyone has to climb to get to the top where it’s really nice. But the hike up can really suck for some people. I really really hated dating but had to go through with it.

Wonder if she had just gotten out of a relationship and she was trying to recreate the same thing with a new person (which probably never works).

I’m not sure Windows is a good example here since they’re historically well known for backwards compatibility and fixing obscure bugs for specific hardware.

Whereas Linux famously always had driver support issues.

Wikipedia, ACLU, EFF and my company matches.

Yeah but a baby has to be in the correct orientation and has to change orientation as it traverses the birth canal otherwise you’ll run into issues. An egg is rotationally symmetric along an axis so it’s much easier to push out. It’ll naturally rotate into the correct orientation and doesn’t need to be rotated.

Not to mention she’s been immortalized as Meitnerium

My head canon is after some politics they decided to severely limit Space OSHA. They’re just so understaffed they can’t bother to have any oversight of starships even after report after report of preventable violations keep getting added to the backlog.

They see what’s happening in Ukraine where a <$100 drone can kill an enemy soldier. The KDR for their drone aces are insane.

Eh there are plenty of places that have less population density than the US but they do just fine with transit. It might be true that most US cities are poorly designed for transit, but the density isn’t a the reason.

This was my splurge purchase when the startup I was in got acquired.

Eh ER is choose your own difficulty. It can be really easy or impossibly hard based on the limitations you place on yourself.
