Well, basically yes, thsts where its going.

He can't let anyone use it for gov stuff anyway or cia gets to read whats on there.

But look euro countries are thinking of moving governance out of MS now too due to trump crossing the line publicly of ordering ms around.

Was anyone buying ipods in the latter years when they were just idevices without the phone and they just started making the smaller version of ipad anyway then.

Yes inherently its just running on the customers computer anyway, so they don't actually have control.

Not sending other players locations when not necessary etc would be cooler.

And you can cheat by off-device means anyway, you can do an aimbot that doesn't run any code on the computer now.

Wow came out like a decade after my bank at the time had 2fa.

Sure at first it was over telnet and phone lines so it wasn't terribly secure at first..

To teach you don't need massive amounts of content, lessons don't need to be superfacially unique at all, they're scalable on their own.

The need to make new books for schools etc every year is based just on the need to sell them too, basics of languages do not change every year, a student doesn't benefit from unlimited amounts of basic class learning material.

Thats not entirely true. To update an old ios app to be uploadable into the store is significant amount of work due to apple themselves deprecating stuff and requiring you use a newer xcode. You can't just "update the api call" and expect it to be publishable.

You can only download, put it on the device and read it as long as they decide that they and by extension you have the right to read the book.

You're just renting an access to the book with the drm. Under terms that aren't clear to you since you don't know these dates and contracts that they have with the creator and publisher.

I've used GNOME since early 2.x. GNOME 3 was a big shift. But so what?

Current GNOME looks and works great on my desktop and laptop. I can launch whatever I need quickly. I can manage workspaces and windows and files. It gets out of the way. Do I think their insistence on no tray icons is stupid? Yep, but it doesn't matter, there's an extension for that. Does it work with touch devices? Yep. But I don't care because I don't use touch devices with it. Does their Online Accounts thing work in a corp environment? Not really. Oh well.

Like, I barely think about GNOME. It's just there doing its job. It's FINE. It works. It looks nice. I have no major complaints.

The only people it "left behind" were users who thought early Windows was peak UI, didn't have the neuroplasticity to try something new, and thought the project owed them something in return for using it.

Again, oh well.
