The seemingly widespread reports of display cracking due to hinge issues makes me question that it is "extremely well-executed".

You're totally right, brainfart there.

Incidentally, both created by Adobe.

It's not false information. I'm just saying it's as idiosyncratic as bash is (and no, defining its own special standard doesn't make it less so, it just makes its idiosyncracy well defined), and that I have a hard time agreeing with anyone who says that PowerShell's syntax is more intuitive than bash. You still need to learn the special naming scheme, same as needing to learn bash's own quirks. Someone who comes from bash to PS might not know about the existence of that "standard", and might fumble about as I described.

I find that PowerShell's syntax choices and verboseness make it just as cryptic as bash. "Okay, now we Get-Object... Ah crap, that's not it, what was it again? Ah yes, Select-Object... Okay now we pass that into Call-WebRequest... Wait that's not it either...".

The language designers managed to introduce the ambiguity of natural language into a shell scripting language. As a developer, I think that it makes PS wildly unergonomic and I find it easier to remember bash/Linux idiosyncrasies.

You have no idea how Europe works, at all.

This being written by a citizen of the country that has Palantir and Flock cameras being installed all over the place is incredibly funny.

Are you trying to say that human brains are incapable of inference?

You might've skimmed over the rest of my comment, but my focus was on another type of tinkerer - and maybe that was my bad, I guess "lite homelabber" might have been a more apt description. Raspberry Pis used to be huge among people who wanted a low power device to host useful services. I myself was one of those people once. I never used the GPIO pins, but even today a Pi is my DNS (PiHole) and Home Assistant server. It was a great device to serve as an intro to self-hosting, but with where they've taken pricing and as you said, where the market has gone, they've become all but irrelevant in that space.

It's amazing how much they've lost the tinkerer audience over the last few years. Unless you really need the GPIO, there are far better and cheaper alternatives for a low power computer.

Is anyone surprised at this? Abandoning products in an untimely fashion is their specialty. I've never bought a hardware product from them for that reason, except for a 2nd gen Chromecast which was something whose longevity I didn't care too much about.

I spend so much time cleaning up AI comments in the codebases I work on, it's maddening. I could have an instruction to not allow it to write comments at all, but some of them are useful.

Portugal only has DNS blocks on piracy sites, which are extremely easy to circumvent. I don't think that block is football-related.

That figure you see on the website is total time in space for that cosmonaut, not one big stretch. Though the record for longest single mission is over 400 days, and record for cumulative longest time is over 1100, both by Russian cosmonauts.

Uh, yes? The first widespread usage of the word "phablet" I can recall was regarding the HTC HD2, which had a whopping 4.3" display and some people were losing their minds saying nobody would want to carry that in their pockets.
