I've had many Windows upgrades fail. Some of them resulted in an unusable system, others reverted themselves and only wasted hours of my time. And for that matter, just running Windows Update without an upgrade to a new Windows version very frequently breaks Windows Update so that it will not work, and on a few occasions has resulted in an unbootable Windows system. In fact even my work machine has rendered itself unbootable with a Windows Update, and I work remotely... I had to go in to the office to have them address the issue, that was a fun waste of time.

No, Linux is not perfect, but you don't get to declare that Linux is not ready for the desktop when it has problems that Windows also has.

They have lots of problems. We know because we see their confused posts on Microsoft forums, which are usually followed up with "solutions" which don't work.

Our IT department forces a windows reboot once a week even if Microsoft doesn't, because they have found that this prevents a lot of problems.

I don't have to do this with my Linux systems. This is not to say that they are trouble-free, only that they don't need to be rebooted weekly to work as well as they are going to.

"a statement that a situation is unsatisfactory or unacceptable."

What prevents you from accessing a dictionary? It's easy and free.

The only time either of my Windows 10 or Linux (Ubuntu, now Mint) systems have ever crashed was due to a hardware issue and I can count on one hand the number of times that's happened across both systems over the last 10+ years. Whatever is going on with your systems isn't the norm.

Thanks for agreeing with me, and also being a cautionary tale of illiteracy.

Thus solving the problem forever!

FOREVER!

I get unlimited talk/text for $10/month with 5G data at $5/GB using the Ting Mobile Flex plan.
I've never used more than ~ 100 MB data/month, so my bill is $17.24/month.
My service is over T-Mobile, but Ting supports Verizon too...

Anything with this guy is probably going to cost more than elsewhere -- there has to be something to skim off. Grifters gonna grift...

From TFA:

Yuk.

More sadly, waiting to see how they rule when a Democrat is in office ...

Their lawyer continued, "It's the least we could do."

Are any of the profits going to Gila Monster conservation?

So every international traveler could be searched to see if their meds contain any patent violations and seized at the border?

This is entirely unworkable.

Capitalism does dumb shit all day. Virtually nothing about it is sustainable. Almost everything it does is abusive to someone. When you are complaining about this, which is driven purely by capitalism, you're complaining about capitalism whether you know it or not.

Like water running in pipes, not like a stream.

I don't know if they make a different noise in the UK, but I sure hope they do, because this one gives me a headache.
