Knowing Nintendo, they would probably make the joycons cross compatible with the Switch 2, and that console will probably not have a way to charge the original joycons due to change in form factor or something. So a product like this might make perfect sense at this time.

Crowdstrike has a lot of internal control of your machine in order to do things like hook into the processes you are running to observe any malicious activity. It makes sense that a bug could bring the whole system down.

I will never understand how some people have no morals and will purposely enact laws to make people's lives worse.

Driver issues usually only happen if the manufacturer doesn't provide a Linux driver. Usually it is best to do some research to ensure the hardware will work before purchasing.

Also, I'm not trying to get on any high horse. I personally think Linux is a great alternative to Windows and would love for everyone to at least try it out and see if it is right for them. It could save them tons of headaches and open the door to a new skill set, or just to breathe new life into that old laptop in your closet gathering dust. Linux has a lot of great uses that aren't possible with Windows. Give peas a chance.

For your line of work, maybe not. But who cares? They can hire more employees or pay them overtime.

We aren't machines. What's the point of life if all we ever do is work? Are we working to live, or living to work? A 32 hour work week makes it a 4/3 day split instead of a 5/2 day split. Seems a lot more balanced if you ask me.

I often dream of that alternative universe where Bernie became president instead of Biden...

Yes.

Whatever happened to the Professor Layton game? Was hoping to see that.

Sunk cost fallacy and tribalism.
