Anschluss?

Dell, the company known for their onsite sales.

Sure, if they had a website or something, they could work remotely, but someone needs to be present when customers flock in.

Übersehen

Will do next time.

Added the main link. May be paywalled for most people.

Genau

Stock im Arsch hat sich als wenig ergonomisch erwiesen.

Yes, but they are all up-side down.

Itsy Bitsy

Ähh, und welches Wort soll ich jetzt nutzen?

Every time, I’m ready to jump the Ubuntu ship and go back to Debian or Mint, they announce something interesting; something I’d at least want to try.

Yes, price is the point. Of course, a Mercedes is going to nicer than a Toyota, but is it worth its price tag?

Standard SMS/MMS are the de facto standard in the US

SMS have been used extensively around the world. That’s texting in it’s original form. And we still use SMS to bootstrap WhatsApp or Signal.

But MMS? Phones and carriers have supported this long before smartphones, but did people really use it? Are MMS free in the US? Because in Europe, before WhatsApp and Signal took over, the was a price tag on SMS (last non-zero price I remember is 0.09€, now free) and MMS (no idea because no one uses it, but I believe 0.39€ was typical at some point).

Tell them about the app store

There’s an app for that

I understand all this, but how ste the videos actually sent if it’s neither RCS nor a link (which could have any resolution).

MMS? Like caveman?

In this case, Apple and the wife are both to blame. This is

• ancient technology
• that was never really used anywhere

Come on.

Metric units aka SI units aka sanity

I miss the times when bodies found off the Sicilian coast meant Mafia.

The decomposed bodies were discovered near the island of Sicily, which lies off the southwestern tip of the Italian mainland.

The bodies were taken to another Italian island, Lampedusa, about 350 kilometers (217 miles) away.

The bodies are believed to have been on board a boat that sunk earlier this week in Libyan waters, Italian media said, citing officials.

So, even if they are dead we push them back to Lampedusa. And claim that they sunk in Syrian waters. Because nothing bad can happen in Europe.

They have those at airports.

Yes. And depending on the the VM and the app, you can get a ‘seamless mode’ that looks like a native Linux app.

VMs work most of the time quite well if you have enough RAM. (The VM always works, some applications will detect unusual hardware and may complain, e.g. unsupported GPU. Any sane software should run, though (e.g. with gpu acceleration).)
