Absolutely false. Noise from neighbours is mostly highly intermittent, rare, and only affects a small minority of people living near shitty neighbours. On the other hand inner city noise is virtually inescapable and constant.

Typically those are the same people who then run to the country for a holiday. You know to escape the ... hustle and bustle of the city life.

The only Linux you've used are clearly mega distros. No there's countless of distros out there which don't have vim on them. On those universally GNU nano is the default installed text editor ... which incidentally is far more similar to Edit than Vi.

Define "Best". I wager that most users would not define "best" to mean: The one version of windows known to actively have problems running certain software, the one that can't play HEVC out of the box without asking some nerd what 3rd party movie player to use since the Windows Store isn't present meaning you can't buy the 99c HEVC license. The one version that doesn't allow you to watch Netflix, or Disney+ since any attempts to install either attempt to direct you to said missing store. But maybe you're not into movies. Maybe you like games, so you're on the version without game related features. But not everyone is into games. Maybe you like Photography and are a fan of tools like Lightroom. Well go fuck yourself because the most recent version of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is 21H2 and Lightroom requires minimum 22H2 version of Windows 10.

"Best" for most people means "works as advertised", and IoT Enterprise LTSC is the one version of Windows 10 that actively doesn't do that. Forget the future, for many people Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC doesn't work as a desktop OS *TODAY*.

Maybe consider reaching out to the company whose dumb fucking developers thinks your Documents folders is an appropriate place for that. That isn't Microsoft's fault. It stands to reason that the entire Documents folders should be backed up while folders like AppData (which is where user specific installations are supposed to go) isn't.

Yes that is good wisdom. It's a safe assumption that most users are not attempting to side step a backup process. By putting users in charge of their own manually curated backups it invariably leads to data loss. We have 20+ years of experience here showing that users are too dumb to manage backups.

Why and in what way? I mean sure everything is destined for landfills eventually, but why specifically this light? People have been integrating ambient lighting into their homes since before the LED was invented, this is just the latest iteration with a bonus point of synchronising with a TV.

Add to that the "Ambilight" idea with TVs definitely makes the entire entertainment area feel more massive and I know several people who buy shitty Philips TVs just to get that feature (ambilight works well but Philips TVs are pretty average in terms of being a good TV) and you've got a recipe for a product that people like and won't throw away straight away. It's not everyone's tastes, but why judge what the world could use less of.

Remove all shortcuts from the startmenu, taskbar, and delete your PATH environment variable. Go on. You seem to agree that everyone should be remember where everything is without any features of convenience otherwise they are "lazy and stupid". I challenge you. Prove to us you're not lazy and stupid. Give up those conveniences.

Or just admit you're a gatekeeping arsehole who arbitrarily draws a line somewhere for the purpose of insulting others.

We get it. I saw the faked pictures of the moon landing too.

Why would you want to though? Imagine thinking the most user friendly experience is needing to remember something specific rather than it simply being available.

Now go be an adult and nuke your path environment variable. I want to see you remember to type /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin/ /opt/binbefore every single command you type in Linux.

If that sounds stupid it is because it is. Stop proposing stupid things.

Oh no this *is* news. I will forever remember this day as the day I found out that Apple released 26 versions of iOS without an integrated recovery system. I honestly didn't think this was a thing.

I really hope your phone breaks before you get your update and you eat your words. Imagine getting upset about having a potential solution to your problems baked into the system.

Let me guess, you don't have fire insurance on your house either.

That's a fine and polite way of saying "I surround myself with like minded anti-EV people and I'm so self centred that I think the world outside my closed circle doesn't exist".

A Marstek 12kWh home battery can be had for under 1300EUR. You're permitted to do your own electrical wiring in much of Europe. The kit comes with all you need to connect it to the meterbox and instructions.

Yes and no, but before you do that realise there's a real problem to this when you do it at the scale you are talking about. Classical grid systems were designed to deliver power from a source, not receive it from what is nominally its consumer. Protection systems are designed with this in mind and they don't cope well when power flows from many sources the other way. Countries with high rooftop PV adoption have had to rush in and spend billions on infrastructure upgrades.

This is something you can plan well when small loads trickle in over time. It's not something that you can manage when several MW come online at a single time. I can go install solar panels on my roof and it doesn't have an impact, over time all my neighbours will too and the government can plan for the slow change in demand here. On the flip side my local (okay next city over, we don't have one) IKEA put solar on its roof and then sat their dumbfounded when they were told they weren't allowed to turn it on or export to the grid and instead had to wait for a major substation upgrade to happen 9 months later. (They eventually compromised that their solar system can be connected providing it is remotely rate limited / controlled by the power company until the substation is online)

It's much easier to build out small systems at the consumer than large commercial / industrial systems at large commercial / industrial consumers. Big things take planning.

Of course there is. Why would you think it's a good idea to go launcher hunting to find which game you can run. Steam fully supports and integrates other launchers, but Xbox adding this feature suddenly offends you? Whatever drugs you are on when creating your post, switch to other ones. You can get high without saying things so stupid.
