Looks like TrueNAS.

Yes, plus migrant labor. I imagine most countries that skew male are only a percent or two off. The major outliers are the Persian gulf nations, because they are tiny and rich. All those extra men are migrant workers from poorer nations, sending money back home.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, because Elon actually is doing that.

In both these cases, the payment technically isn't directly for voting for a specific candidate. The payment is for an unrelated action that only someone voting for your candidate would agree with. Either way, still smells bad.

Sony hasn't done the paperwork to officially do business in those countries, so you can't make a psn account. And because Sony is intent on forcing psn accounts, it leads to this stupid situation where those countries are locked out, despite Steam supporting them.

Only problem is streaming services like Amazon that purposefully limit the quality on Linux.

That's a major part in the Ender's Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it's like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.

The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.

I don't know about the 13, but on the 16 you can update via USB, no OS required. Kind of annoying, but it works.

It's a thing, it's just run by the same companies, so you're stuck with them either way.

Plus, with everything moving to streaming, satellite TV just isn't as relevant. You end up dealing with the same cable companies for internet regardless.

Yes. Microsoft owns Activision Blizzard, as of Oct 2023
