A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Computers don't generay "need" an Internet connection.
Technically, no. I might argue that the vast majority of computers made in the last 30 years come equipped with network capabilities and are, in fact, connected to the internet.
Generally, if you're using a well-known, commercial operating system, your computer will "need" to connect to the internet so transmit your delicious personal and usage data to the OS' home servers for definitely not invasive purposes.
The list above, however, is not of general or technical usage, but of my own pet peeves. Also, it's half joking 😉
