Why would absolutely anyone on this sub install Home? Microsoft themselves make a multi-edition .iso available on their website. And funnily enough now, Microsoft supports the hosting of massgravel. Should it take as many steps as it does two make a local account? No, but it's literally two extra clicks.

Very much doesn't my guy.

They have to. If you don't respond to territorial loss with nuclear weapons you have signalled to anyone with two brain cells that it's all up for grabs. If Ukraine can grab territory why can't Finland? Latvia? Estonia? China?

Yes because if Ukraine threatens to gain territory within Russia's historic (pre-2014) border they will absolutely use nuclear weapons. They've made this clear, and honestly, they didn't have to.

No nuclear power has ceded any significant territory through open conflict since the advent of nuclear weapons. China won't, France won't, Russia won't, Pakistan won't, North Korea won't, the U.S. won't. It doesn't even have to be spoken out loud to be a known factor. If the deterrent of nuclear strikes won't protect your border, then you have absolutely nothing to lose by using them if you are even slightly concerned that you couldn't move the border back conventionally.

This is why I make students install a copy of Windows without the use of a mouse.

The slippery slope is only a fallacy when you're making leaps. To go from enacting exorbitant API fees to removal of old Reddit is a logical step so doesn't make for a fallacy. Intent also plays a part for the same reason. If you can prove that enacting exorbitant API fees was for the purpose of restricting user access then limiting number of posts for users not logged in is a logical step. Slippery slope gets a bad rap but it can be a valid point and not a fallacy when done properly.

Imagine if you rounded up all the hateful, power hungry, bigoted misanthropes from the Warez forums of old and combined them into one. That's Empress.

Imagine the absolute reckoning if someone managed to touch her with a blade of grass. The singularity would reverse the big bang.

Commercially standard is some hogwash you're making up out of thin air. The language is "commercially available" which every single tool needed already is. Like I said that you completely ignored $30 gets every bit, pick, tweezer and suction cup needed. Every single guide calls for heat, yes, it is indeed a good idea, but it is absolutely not NECESSARY. Do you understand? You can take a readily, commercially available suction cup from a $20 kit from Amazon and remove screens (and therefore batteries) without using thermal energy.

So I'm sorry you don't know what I'm talking about, but the bigger issue is you simply don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know man, did you RTFM?

I don't think we're really gonna have a concrete answer, but o rly was making it's rounds on SA at the turn of the century. It's definitely what I remember seeing first.

Did you think I didn't read that exact section before I made this argument?

Show me where they're out of compliance. The only leg you can stand on is thermal energy, and like it or not, you absolutely can pull screens without heat guns or hair dryers so long as you have suction cups. You can literally spend less than $30 to get all the bits, suction cups and picks needed for repairs so the tools are commercially available.
