I can also explain Microsoft's straglehold on enterprise/government/institutional IT in two words: Group Policy. Nothing - absolutely nothing - from any other OS maker comes close to the granular level of configurability, customisation and flexibility that comes with Group Policy, not even ChromeOS or iOS.
"That's great! I'd love to help you discover the exciting world of programming! The best language for a starter is probably HTML, which stands for Hypertext Text Machine Learning Code 5. You can write HTML in an environment which is a kind of software. The best environments for creating HTML are:

Remember to install your favourite using one or more supported environments. Begin with something basic and work up from there. You'll be in no time. Have fun! Or should I say, Have Fun!"
Modern birds are more closely related to tyrannosaurus rex than tyrannosaurus rex was to stegosaurus. Modern birds are, by any reasonable definition, dinosaurs and sometimes they act like it.
Ugh. I pity people who have such a lack of self-respect that that can tolerate living in this kind of dump. If the bed was rotated ninety degrees, they could watch TV lying on their side. But I guess whoever lives here is happy to just settle for imperfection.
I used to have an iMac that I loved (screen was excellent) but it quickly became a shitbox (because Apple) so I turned it into a X Server for my far more powerful Linux box. Is there a modern equivalent of that? Basically turn it into a thin client?
Edit: for kiosks, Windows 10 can be quite happy on 1GB RAM, but that 16GB storage is a problem.
If the cable coming through the wall is coaxial like the pictire OP posted, that's exactly what's happening. New installs will be FTTP and a lot of networks have been upgraded, but there's still plenty of areas using DOCSIS over coax.
UK here. It's just not a thing any more. I regularly drive - or am a passenger - on a ~200 mile round trip and insect strikes just don't happen.
That said, I recently drove from the North of England to the South of France. Almost as soon as we crossed the Channel we were instantly getting insects splattered on the windscreen to the point we had to refill buy some bright pink no-nonsense washer fluid at the next services. So I assume some counties are more responsible than others with their use of pesticides.

Not that I've seen and I'd take what Purism say with a grain of salt: they've acted like pretty shitty gatekeepers themselves. Nothing they mentioned in the article seems too egregious in truth and they're exaggerating the scale of it: Play Store app DRM exists already, and the restrictions on browser-downloaded apps they mention can be bypassed (albeit by having to go into settings) and don't apply to apps installed through other apps stores (F-Droid, etc).
Done and done.
