I do wonder. I know of the opposite problem in other spheres (some areas in physics), where it is hard to run scientific programs under Windows, and some people resort to WSL, but many also just run Linux on the metal.

EDIT: With Mac, I do not know.

I like how this directly goes against the argument of Fahrenheit being more “graded” with integers lol

But when it comes to weather, the boiling point of water is not a meaningful point of reference.

Well, the freezing point of water is very relevant for weather. If I see that the forecast is -1 degC when it was positive before, I know I will have to watch out for ice on roads.

And the boiling point as the other reference point makes complete sense.

Some countries already use it officially too :)

About the only useful thing I see is that 100 Fahrenheit is about body temperature. Yeah, that’s about the only nice thing I can say about Fahrenheit. All temperature scales are arbitrary, but since our environment is full of water, one tied to the phase changes of water around the atmospheric pressure the vast majority of people experience just makes more sense.

Except that many Android phones also don’t have replaceable batteries anymore.

Because Joule is the SI unit of energy, meanwhile the Watt is the SI unit of power, equivalent to one Joule per second.

“Converting” joules to watts would be like converting m/s to US dollars.

(This doesn’t consider the separator) Cyan - DD/MM/YY Magenta - MM/DD/YY Yellow - YY/MM/DD The other ones are mixes of those two colors, so e.g. the US is MM/DD/YY and YY/MM/DD (apparently).

Also just noticed I didn’t attribute this picture, I’ll edit my comment.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

Maybe if they actually made them better compared to the then competition, this could’ve turned out differently; mind you, it would still be as bad, because Microsoft, but hey, different nonetheless.

And definitely avoid libgen and scihub, lest you accidentally learn something new without paying the exorbitant fees.

pigs in plural, yes. How many streaming services are there now? I lost track a couple of years ago.

I’ve never thought about it this way before. This must be why some places refuse to invest in public transport. Just imagine the consequences if they didn’t even need to fix their cars at all

Just consider that by using Ubuntu inside Windows, they’re trying to make you not install Linux on hardware itself.

I wonder what the numbers are for the rest of the world. it seems to me that Androids are much more popular at the far reaches of the EU e.g.
