”C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do nothing but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.”

huh i wonder, if the answer is "yes" or "somewhat yes" is it a valid alternative to replacing the power supply in my tv?
i got one for free with a busted psu, but the power supply board is extremely rare (i only ever saw two listings of it, one on AliExpress and one on ebay, both just one piece left and for higher price than a new used tv; similar boards are like 5 times cheaper)
basically, unless i could find an alternative solution like that, I'm throwing it away

I've been using linux on my secondary machine for a couple of years now and I don't really feel the need to use Windows anymore.
all of my software just works and my workflow is cross-platform (I don't really care about which os I'm using, i can get things done regardless); but as a software developer I'd much rather use linux than spend my time managing like 6 virtual linux/unix-like environments on windows. (wsl, msys2, etc)
All of the games I care about actually work slightly better on linux than on windows. (and a single click away from installing and launching from steam); also Steam Big Picture mode and gamepad support (dualshock 4) is much better on linux than on Windows 10, on windows some features only work over Bluetooth. ~~i use arch btw~~

it's basically just a multimeter that can only measure resistance...

...or with a usb/sd port, there's no need to go back all the way to 90s/2000s tech for simple offline music playback

add some css to the wrapping box like

(put the selector here) {
  height: 1000px;
}

No regional pricing.

I would never pay more then 10$ for a full game i could play for hundreds of hours, let alone 20$ to remove black rectangles from a free app.

sync ultra is just stupidly expensive, I'm not even talking about it, just the permanent ad removal option.

or carrier bloatware. Samsung has it's thingy like that (only on A series) but it installs TikTok during the setup, nothing else.
