I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange. Statistics isn't my thing... But it looks like it's wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.

Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in "unknown". Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic matter.

Mac OS also shows a weird behavior. Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November...

It's not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it I've month later. Samr but opposite goes for the windows stats.

I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have..

Not saying that Linux isn't increasing on desktop market share. Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.

The people of Bucha got a taste of the "Russian spiritual and moral values" and we will not forget!

While a honorable move, "never" doesn't exist in a world based on quarterly financials...

Which is it, up to 15% or up to 10% ethanol?

[-] mindlight@lemm.ee 30 points 7 months ago

Yes. And it will.

If politicians were serious in their criticism they would vote for laws forcing comparison price to be displayed next to the purchase price.

Can someone give me an ELI5 and a background?

Hollywood put billions into the next generation disc, blu-ray, and you would still pay extra at Blockbuster for being late if it wasn't for piracy.

While piracy isn't without problem it is the closest we get to "supply and demand". Piracy balances the scale.

Chemistry.

Vinegar is an acid. Acid dissolve things like limescale. Bicarbonate/baking powder is a base. Bases dissolve fats.

This is why bathroom cleaning products most often include really strong acids and kitchen cleaning products include strong bases.

Drains often suffer from buildups of a combination of soap and limescale. The most common method relies on a heavy base: lye (Sodium Hydroxide).

They won't. They do however want to stay relevant and will float things like this just to create talk about Microsoft and Windows.

You know what's really interesting to talk about? How fast it was for me to setup Chimeraos on a PC with an Intel GPU and hook it up to my tv and Xbox wireless controller USB dongle.... First boot and I login to Steam and BAM! Grab that controller. Time for couch gaming

Windows is nowhere near that good or easy as a game station for coach gaming.
