Why on hell on earth would anybody install any of these? WTF is wrong with you people?

Wasn't this how the net worked in Neal's Stephenson or William Gibson's novels?

...and very difficult to patch?

About time. Why can't my phone be my PC? Plug in a monitor, wireless keyboard, and voila! Unless you are running seriously heavy software (Where you would probably use a desktop anyway) a smartphone could probably run 99% of your stuff. I am only talking as software developer here.

My daily-driver laptop is an 8GB RAM 128GB SSD i7 8 core computer.
I can get a, say, Samsung Galaxy Note8 with 6GB RAM and 128GB SSD ARM 8 core CPU. Definetly not fast as my laptop, but probably fast enough to compile some files and run a development environment.

Not so fast, alanw!

Does it matter now for what purpose whoever buys ads?

...I was sure of it.

Ah, good old Ancient Aliens argument. That show is my guilty pleasure.

Switched 18 months ago, "just to try". Now I'm still here, and could be happier. Of course, if you are a hard-core gamer...

Why do I need gaddem Microsoft Edge to watch your stuff in 1080p?

Probably using middle-out compression

When I started looking into node.js.... the amounts of wtfs per minute increased exponentially...

Can't install this on either my phone or car tablet.

And why can't I see who's ringing and answer my phone from my tablet? They are both connected to my cars audio, and to each other...

"It takes one million dollar to fire this weapon.... once"

That is all I have to say about this.
