It certainly isn't common.

Most of the "small towns" would be villages everywhere else, but it feels like it's shameful in the US. Maybe some places decided to roll with it.

And just try to get regular people to use email encryption. Yes, it could be signed to show that it hasn't been altered, but then most users can't even figure out where a file has been saved.
So they use faxes.

Here (not US) they've tried implementing a dedicated "secure email platform" for medical professionals so that they can exchange patient data. It's both progress and kind of idiotic, but it's not very widely used (because now, they have yet another email address to manage, on top of the six they already have to use).

You'd expect the zoo staff to be fairly aware of the state their animals are in. They usually have vets coming in to check on every critter regularly.

They don't have villages in the US for some reason. Only small towns, towns and cities.

Obviously, they wanted to get it just right.

Windows now supports other formats than BMP. It's already a huge progress.

I no longer work with corporations, but an online ornithology classI did used teams. It worked, mostly, for a while. Then one day it decided that video would no longer work on my machine. Of course there's no obvious log or anything.

I even booted windows to see if it would fix it, but no.

That was on a very exotic yoga 7 pro laptop.

It's the only piece of software that's ever behaved that way.

Are you saying that there aren't good people on both sides? Or was it bad people?

The author described 40cm of rain, which was unusual to me, since we normally describe the rain in millimetres

That's the point of sensible units. It's exactly the same thing.

You wouldn't download a migrant.

Same. I'm just making a Truenas server next year when setting up the new network. It's probably cheaper anyway.

Not to mention that the rules change all the time, and only a tiny proportion of drivers stays up to date.
