This what’s happening in computer programming. The booming subfield is apparently slop cleaners.

Only if you want to run Windows on that model I guess. My kid has an E16 AMD and installed Fedora Linux from a USB no problem.

Did they even say thank you?

You’re right, it differs across cultures certainly. For a wedding of a presumably Asian cousin they don’t know in another city, that’s a tricky one. I guess OP might just be looking for an acceptable excuse but can’t find one.

No? It’s an invitation. I’d have been disappointed if people I’d invited turned it down, but it’s not rude to decline.

Yes. Computer games have always been digital data on physical media. These days many people have access from someone else’s physical media, but if you own the media then I guess it counts.

Same, now I have Win 11 in a VM but when I boot it I just apply Windows updates so I am booting it much less frequently now.

As always, it depends. A certain amount of negativity can be healthy.

As mentioned in other comments, constant negativity is poison to relationships.

“Oh dear the facial scanning software is not good enough. I guess we’ll need to get government servers to authenticate your social media connections.”

Maaaaate, you must have a blind spot bigger than a Bunnings there

Or they get off that social media. We’ll see.

Hmm, I was going to go with Mexican and Chinese but French has now thrown me!

We only had three bits and didn’t expect such a RUSH

The truly sad part is that it’s still the Department of Defense, only Congress can change that. They’re giving it a second name to puff themselves up, or is it to win the Nobel Peace prize when they eventually drop the new name?
