  • Also for decades, Linux has had awful drivers for graphics cards (among other things) and godawful usability. It's not like Linux would have taken over the desktop computer market in 1998. Have you ever tried installing a vintage distro? It's a nightmare.

  • It can mean that, but it's also possible that he already had psychological issues. While the entire thing stinks and my first instinct is to assume foul play as well, it's still important not to jump to conclusions. The reason is simple: If there's a real case of corporate murder, then people will take it less seriously due to past conspiracy theories.

  • Honestly, this is the most insulting accusation you could make. Is my writing style really this awful?

    I'm not. This user name is decades old. I think I first started using it around 2003-2005. If you're willing to dig, you can find things written under it aeons ago.

  • Not this one. Israel created a shell company that sold these particular pagers only to Hezbollah (reportedly at a profit). Neither did Hezbollah buy these in random shops nor were they ever distributed to random shops. The network they used was also exclusively created by and for Hezbollah, not any civilians, so even if civilians had wanted to use these devices, they would not have been able to. Hezbollah bought them in bulk and distributed them to their members, believing they would be a safe way to communicate without tracking, since most pagers are one-way devices.

  • I mean, the pager attack was a masterstroke. Getting away with it is underselling it. Never before has a highly targeted attack like this been performed. I can't imagine a better way to attack a terrorist organization this deeply embedded within society. It certainly beats bombs and ground troops by every metric.

  • What you're asking for is a monitor, not a TV. The last TV I've seen that is this limited still had a picture tube - and it wasn't even the last CRT TV I've used (we actually had a very late one with HDMI). Regardless of how silly AI features are, there's a middle ground.

  • It is unclear whether the US government will take up the offer, however, with questions around the legality of such moves. Any effort by the Trump administration to deport incarcerated US nationals to another country would face significant legal pushback.

    “The US is absolutely prohibited from deporting US citizens, whether they are incarcerated or not,” Leti Volpp, a law professor at UC Berkeley who specializes in immigration law and citizenship theory, told CNN over email.

    Trump and his cronies are openly breaking the law every day and are getting away with it, yet people, including actual law professors, are continuing to naively believe that laws and the rule of law will be uphold. The Trump administration will either blatantly go against the law on this and/or have their bought and paid for Supreme Court make it legal.

  • Installation is a tiny bit more complicated this way though. You need to manually unpack the content of the archives into your desired install folder before launching the installation, which then needs to install into this folder.
