I've been running Launcher 10 on Android for a long while now. Replicates the tile interface and app list/drawer. I think it has ads with an IAP to disable them and another IAP for Live Tiles support.

Already underway. The last time this stuff was voted on it was very narrowly blocked. I think a lot of the more conservative leaning churches saw the writing on the wall and have been leaving and set up the Global Methodist Church as a replacement organization. I seem to recall nearly a quarter of Methodist churches in the US have left the UMC.

Growing up in a small town in the South it was kind of crazy when Aldi and Lidl set up nearby. Not only are the prices so much better on nearly everything but in general the quality of the products was much better than at existing local grocery stores.

The only thing is they're (especially Aldi) missing a few things that either someone in my household is fussy about the brand or sometimes some regional things. Like you're not going to find some of the particular ingredients you might want when cooking soul food.

Yeah, but the 3G networks are pretty much all gone, and iirc even the 4G reboots didn't support a ton of LTE bands.

They put out 3G and 4G models of the 3210 and 8110 in 2017 and 2018. But yeah it's probably time to refresh as most of the 3G networks have been sunsetted.

Yeah not a surprise. He got the initial push to run from Bannon. It was all supposed to be some kind of clever operation to fool democrats. But then they just started appealing more and more to the whacked out MAGA people.

No need to slander the Ghost with the most.

I'm pretty sure they actually can't at all. Israel bars foreign journalists from entering Gaza.

Like someone else said, Lifeline is still a thing. For mobile phone plans it isn't quite as good as the old Lifeline + ACP combo where some were offering Unlimited minutes, text and data. Most are 500-1000 minutes, unlimited text, 4-5GB data.

You have to be on SNAP, Medicaid, or some other federal programs OR meet the income requirements. If you sign up online now they kick you over to a National Verification site to check your eligibility. It's pretty quick and painless. Then you'll get a free (shitty) phone, or a SIM card on some that do BYOP.

My ISP announced a $30 monthly credit if it should expire, for an indefinite amount of time (until further notice, essentially). The only condition is not letting your bill get past due at all. Kinda telling how much margin they must have had and how inflated their prices are.

It wasn't so much the lack of SSDs. Vista had much higher memory requirements than XP. At the time, OEMs were still regularly shipping systems with sub-1GB RAM installed. Those OEMs put pressure on Microsoft to change the Vista- Ready certification requirements to include their shitty builds that couldn't really run Vista.

In addition, dual core machines were only just coming to market, so there were a ton of systems with single core CPUs. Plus, with the changes to several driver models and some of the verification requirements (sound, graphics, needing to provide x64 drivers to get verified) from XP to Vista many vendors decided to EOL their products instead of write new drivers. I know many sound cards were EOL that were literally still on store shelves.

I don't know much about security stuff, but I feel like older systems falling from popularity are not the usual targets of people who write them, and encountering one using an outdated OS would probably mean nothing since exploits they want to abuse aren't there yet.

The issues that are going to be the problem eventually are vulnerabilities that affect both new and old versions of Windows. The new versions will get the patch, but 7 won't. And it still might be worth exploiting to hit the machines with the newer version that don't update quickly or at all.

What flavors did it deem acceptable? My denomination draws the line at Riptide Rush.

Heh. I overheard a relative talking about a local Methodist church that is trying to break away. But apparently years ago they got some financial help from the UMC and signed over the land the church is on, so it's some big mess. Serves the bigots right.

That's how all fascist systems operate. Moronic yes men by necessity hold the positions of power.

Yeah so the thing with PC parts suppliers is that every brand is going to have people who have experienced problems with their stuff.

Gigabyte I've never had a problem with, but yeah during the pandemic their power supplies were fucking exploding so yeah that's a problem.

Asus I've never had a problem with, but yeah their boards on both sides have been setting voltages and power limits very aggressively, killing AM5 CPUs catastrophically, potentially causing instability on higher end Intel chips as well it seems. That's a problem.

Etc etc etc

I think there are also some ARM SoCs (now that Windows on ARM is a thing) that don't meet the requirements, and there are too many systems out there with only 8GB of RAM.

Yes, it's unsupported for other reasons. But if you bypass that requirement you won't get these warnings about the AI requirements, assuming you have 16GB of RAM.

There are plenty of unsupported CPUs that also support the AI requirements. Basically anything with an AMD Phenom or an Intel Core i5/7 first gen or newer supports these.
