One thing I don’t get is that e.g. I have Revolut installed, I use it regularly, Google knows this yet still half or a quarter of my ads for months now has still been Revolut. Why??

I mean regular people don’t know how to read it, except if you randomly decided you wanted to. It’s pretty big culturally, e.g. the Baška tablet is a very important piece of history written in glagolitic that everyone knows about, and I’ve seen the alphabet randomly displayed in a few places, but nobody actually uses it today.
Damn, wild Glagolitic script found. I didn’t even realise it was in the Unicode standard.
To some extent that is true. But on the other hand, Windows is both usually easier to learn (has a UI for 99% of stuff, basic design principles dictate that it’s much easier to remember what to click on than what to type), and it just works. I rarely have to interact with the OS in any way to get something to work. I’ve tried multiple times to switch to Linux, but it just has so much stuff that doesn’t work out of the box, or at all. Da Vinci Resolve has a native version which is completely broken, Dota 2 has a native version but doesn’t pre compile shaders, so whenever e.g. I open a new hero in the hero list it lags for 1-2s, many games with anti cheat don’t work, good luck with anything in VR, no popular distro that I’ve seen has a clipboard and the ones I found online are just worse than the Windows one, etc.
I want to switch, I really do, but I’m already a power user on Windows, I would have to learn a lot to be on the same level on Linux, add onto that the fact that a lot of stuf that’s important to me just doesn’t work properly on Linux, it just doesn’t make sense for me, and for most people they’re gonna be a lot less willing to switch. Most people will not bother trying to change something, even if it’s objectively better. Most people just want to stick with what already works for them, and until Linux is able to just work with no need for user intervention, especially through terminals which people fear, it’s still a long way from mainstream adoption.
Yeah but on the other hand you also have to wrestle with Linux a lot, and personally usually a lot more time wise. It’s all tradeoffs and what people care more about.
You are missing the very crucial part about how this is generalised. That’s like saying we don’t need to teach math to people anymore, we have calculators now. The AI isn’t too capable currently, but dismissing it would be like dismissing consumer PCs, because what are people gonna do with computers?
Do you mean at the end? I can’t live without it, I feel kinda claustrophobic if I can’t scroll below the actual text.
They finally updated the calendar so it doesn’t look like it’s out of windows 95? Thank god. I really wanna use it now but I’m too tied down to Outlook now. I guess I’ll try to migrate.
If it had a mobile app it would make it much easier. The Outlook mobile app is really good.
The most impressive part is that the satellite is able to receive the phone’s signal. I’m really surprised by that.
Phones receiving satellite signals is nothing new, GPS works like that, but two way communication is much harder since phones are much less powerful.
I guess it has to do with how large the antennae are.
It’s a bit more nuanced than that, she’s accused of cooperating with smugglers to stage fake rescue operations, but the suit is still ongoing and I’m not sure if it’s legit or not. From what I’ve seen she seems to be a good person so the suit is possibly bogus.
I don’t know much apart from the basics of YAML, what makes it complicated for computers to parse?
