It would be really nice on less powerful hardware too. One picture gallery can eat all my RAM real fast.

Because vampires can't cross boundaries without permission, the answer is no, they can't come in until allowed in.

It's party marketing, yes, but it's also Quality of Life features. Windows either has a setting you can find by farting around in the settings or it doesn't work. Linux can have every setting, but most of them need CLI work, research, and the wherewithal to unfuck whatever you fucked.

If CLIs could be listed, explained, and parametrized in a simple GUI, it would make learning them 10x easier. More default scripts for unfucking things would also help (like Window's old troubleshooting wizards). More status checking and better error messages, so one can tell when something is broken without manually inspecting every module.

It's gotten much better, and will certainly improve by necessity if more average users pick Linux up, but it's a step that has to be taken before Linux sees a major marketshare, regardless of marketing.

Drogue chutes are good too, especially for stabilizing a craft that really wants to make like a lawn dart. Using them I can make Duna landings with only a few seconds of thrust from a soft touchdown.

Repacking can be tedious though...

I have an app that does that on my S8, but it's definitely not official support.

Ah, so it's the IRS that was the wrong target. I see.

Are we?

GE made nearly 7 billion dollars in 2023. Do you know how much tax they paid? They didn't, they got a refund of over 400 million dollars.

Tell me again that tax evasion isn't a real problem.

Well yes, that makes sense and all, but it's not nearly as fun as saying mojo is directly controlled by heart health. Or that cancer causes cell phones, or that people named Killian cause air bag recalls. They're obviously wrong and ridiculous, and that's funny.

This does insinuate that a high-risk of heart attack causes sexlessness.

Better stock up on advil.

Northern England just got a new nickname.

Maybe the mark is missed for me because no iPhone in existence is marketed as a standard everyday driver. They're always various levels of "luxury" or "pro". More comparable to a Lexus or a Lincoln.

It's also fixed one of the flaws of the original by increasing the time difference. 2005-2024 is a meaningful difference in the market, but 2021-2024 isn't (unless Apple harped on 2024 specifically for some reason).

A more accurate comparison and one that exposes the weaknesses of the original might be a 2024 BMW vs a 2023 Bugatti, a new upper class car vs a recent top class supercar. Fewer of that argument's flaws are due to exaggeration and more are presented in the original, which would be a better exposition of truth to satirize with.

I agree, this is poor satire.
