I've been using Arch for over a decade now. On a laptop, desktop, VPS and now it's also driving Steam OS on the Deck. I had very little problems with it compared to our Ubuntu setups at work that randomly break on updates. Ubuntu is not as bad as it used to be but from my experience (i.e. the way I use it), Arch has been more stable and reliable.

The good thing about this is that people maybe start questioning if a product for some reason gets "better" because their favorite actor says so - because he got money for doing so.
Imho, he doesn't need to warn his fans, they are not affected by this at all. Maybe the toothpaste is even a bit cheaper compared to the one that actually paid a (probably very pricey) Hollywood star for their ad. He's the victim, not his fans.
But he wants to look cool in front of his friends.
Just because it's not possible on a Turing Machine doesn't mean it's impossible on a PC with finite memory. You just have to track all the memory that is available to the algorithm and once you detect a state you've seen already, you know it's not halting ever. The detection algorithm will need an insane amount of memory though.
Edit: think about the amount of memory that would need. It's crazy but theoretically possible. In real world use cases only if the algorithm you're watching has access to a tiny amount of memory.
It always depends on which existing tools you have access to. Go back some more years and there is no GPS. Detecting the bird will be the easier problem then.
That wasn't an easy game. But it didn't require the accuracy today's competitive FPS shooters do. Even Duke Nukem 3D was pretty cool back then. Was super easy to hit your targets though.
I'd prefer to be on the couch instead of at the desk, too. But FPS with controller is just worlds below mouse and keyboard.
Staying loyal still keeps the (extra) cash flow going.
Also, there's usually a 2nd safety mechanism that prevents it from popping up.
The GPU manufacturers are having the time of their lives.
Maybe Trump was right after all and Mexico is actually going to pay for the wall in the end. For different reasons though.
