Lots of people work on weekends.
My hand sanitizer only kills 99.99% of germs. Should it not be allowed to be called hand sanitizer because it cannot kill all of them?
I'd agree with this comparison if the ruling meant that they had to advertise their wings as "~99.9% boneless" the same way hand sanitizer labels itself as being ~99.9% effective.
They're comin'
I'm no expert on automobiles, but that truck would need to be 40+ years old to have no computers onboard. It doesn't look that old to me, though maybe he just kept it in good shape.
lol, I feel you there. I got a ruggedized, waterproof USB stick about 6 years ago to keep on my keychain and I've used it maybe three times ever. Though I've also been working from home for the last 4+ years so, y'know, less opportunities to use it in general.
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, though.
(Theyβre created with computer too.)
I've got bad news for him regarding how modern pickup trucks work.
6.06 "Dapper Drake" (iirc) was my first GNU/Linux distro back in the day. I was about 15 and spent a week tinkering with it trying to get the wifi to work on my old HP Pavilion.
Good times.
Yep! These guys are booked solid around the clock. I have to schedule well in advance any time I want to take my car to them, unless I want to camp out and be the first customer when they open at 5am. Worth it, though. They're good people.
Nah, I just live in a rural area. There's closer shops to me, but a very honest local business I've been going to for years is a bit further away and it's worth the extra distance for their service. They're a fantastic shop and they've always done great by me.
Women are undeniably a minority when it comes to being represented in politics/media in general. It's only in recent history that women have had any meaningful presence in terms of representation in those regards.
They're a minority in terms of representation because of said disenfranchisement.
It kinda depends on each individuals' use case; there's lots of different Linux distributions that are better (or worse) for specific workloads.
Any given laptop I'm staring at in a store will probably work perfectly fine as a general-use machine with Linux Mint installed. This is my go-to distro when repurposing a machine because it works great out of the box. If I were running a computer store and wanted to sell consumer laptops with Linux on them, I'd default to Mint.
If someone is looking to turn their PC into something more specialized for gaming, they can look at something like Bazzite or Batocera. These will generally require some tinkering.
If an individual or company is looking to build an office with many workstations and user accounts, they might consider Red Hat Enterprise Linux so they can benefit from official support channels if something needs troubleshooting. Many computer labs at NCSU used RHEL when I attended many years ago.
Want a stable server environment? Debian is a standard pick.
Want a barebones system with no bells and whistles (but great battery life)? Alpine oughta work.
So Linux has many options for end users to pick from, which can be seen as a good thing (more options is generally good), but also a bad thing (many end users might consider the plethora of options to be overwhelming if they've never used Linux before).
Linux (Or GNU/Linux) operating systems are a modern implementation of an old research OS that was called "Unix". Spiritual successors to Unix like Linux and BSD try to bring a lot of the design philosophies of Unix into modern OSes (I believe this is generally called the "POSIX" standard. e.g.: macOS is a POSIX compliant OS, iirc).
If I've gotten any of this information incorrect, please don't tell Richard Stallman.
