  • I don't think ever. Twitter has too big of a brand name and recognition, where X does not, and they'll keep coasting on it (their emails to you still say "formerly known as Twitter"). News sites and places will keep calling it Twitter because X is too confusing of a name, and certain parts of their reader-base will simply have no idea who it is that they're on about, and some social media will call it Twitter because X is a silly name, and they do not respect Elon Musk's rebranding of Twitter in much the same way that he does not respect his daughter's name or identity.

  • But an operating system isn't meant to be "interesting". It's an operating system. It should only be meant to operate the system. The interesting should be up to whatever programs it is that a user puts on top of it, something that makes it work better (like optimisations), or at most, make it look nicer. Recall is not that. Your car should be functional as a car. It doesn't need to be capable of baking souffles, or be a fully-functional mobile office suite. An OS should follow the same principles.

  • In fairness, that was mostly accidental, unlike with the Great Auk. They were driven to extinction by inadvertently-introduced predators, as opposed to being actively hunted.

  • The risk of the payment system getting shut down and people being unable to make payments for a while is real. And it is one good reason to be less reliant on digital payments.

    Or entities. The USA had a brief oil crisis recently because one of the major pipeline companies had their billing system hacked. Since the company couldn't verify whether someone had paid, they just didn't supply any oil.

    Couple that with some misleading news stories and social media panic, and it blew up into a proper shortage from people hoarding all the petrol, and leaving none left.

  • People are acting like drivers don’t hit deers at full speed while they’re in control of the car.

    I should be very surprised if people don't generally try to brake or avoid hitting an animal (with some exceptions), if only so that they don't break the car. Whether they succeed at that is another question entirely.

  • Doesn't look like it, or at least, they've not included one before (you just got a power cord), so it's doubtful they would start including one now. Either that, or they're about to release a power-button/TouchID dongle specifically to use as a separate power switch.

  • Holden being acquired by General Motors was okay for a while. Then it died, because they couldn't be stuffed with the Australian market, or the local car industry at the time (and in doing so, likely kicked off its demise).

  • Information might also be leaked through data breaches. An email is not a particularly hard thing to find, or even guess.

    A spammer could easily just have a computer iterate through all possible combinations of emails and usernames, and shotgun it.

    Especially for a name like OP's. If their email is a similar name, it wouldn't be difficult for generate one that is also two words.

  • They really want to force gamers to buy the old games, just as they were, because those are next to free to adapt to a different platform and people will pay for them.

    Nah, if they had wanted that, they would continue to release them in that format. As it stands, they don't, so you can't buy those old games from the publisher either.
