Yes, apt-get update is, to the best of my knowledge, functionally identical to apt update.

I've gotten a Linux-certified Dell laptop via an old employer (I bought the device when I left the company), and even after over four years, Dell is still pushing firmware updates.

Time wil tell if Lenovo will do the same. It could be the source of the additional "cost", or just Dell using the OS for its margins.

  • It's correctly labelled AI

This is underappreciated. I really dislike that AI content is not labelled as such.

So that's what those docks are for!?

I really like SEPA mandates for this. Yes, they're pull, but you can cancel them with one click within 52 days, and the money is back in your account in a few hours (if not instantly).

Most companies that use it are very clear, since auto-pay by law needs a reminder or the refund is an automatic legal cancellation of the contract. (Of course, this is sometimes disguised as an upsell, mostly by telco's or "disruptive startups").

And they work across Europe, so my German cloud provider can use debits to pull the money from my Durch bank account.

The US not having such a consumer friendly system is really unfortunate, but not surprising.

Contracting of your new flagship would be more like 6-12 mo, right?

Then there's the setup time, which is easily another year or two.

I'm no expert in the manufacturing field, so tell me if I'm wrong.

Also, I wish my urologist had believed me when I said I wasn't numb for my vasectomy.

I was undersedated for that one too. Hurt like a mother, but I never realised I may be under sedated so I just challenged through.

No issues in the end though. Just a firm reminder to ask for a double dose next time.

I too, tried using regex to strip html tags. This was in php with hardly any knowledge of oop.

A university education really improved me there, since they trained you in Java to a high degree within 20 weeks (alongside stuff like UML). PHP is a fine starter language, but as applications grow, a more native oop approach with build-time validation, really made me a better developer.

The man hasn't been named by Belgian media.

Yes, because that's illegal in Belgium, if not the EU.

The man has been suspended from his university though

They should really be weighed against the current side effects associated with the hormonal pill.

Off the top of my head (not a doctor!), these include: depression, nausea, headaches and a myriad of others.
