Police was not expecting this?

I used to work in an office building next to a big football stadium, and on days of international matches every road was closed and the hooligans were separated by cordons, it was carefully arranged how the foreign fans could reach the stadium without bumping into local hooligans, mounted police were waiting nearby if something goes wrong.

Those are update services. Upgrading your os is a basic security measure nowadays. You recommend to sacrifice some security because of a minor inconvenience. It's alright if you can live with that tradeoff, but please don't recommend it on the internet. Windows assumes a user is not knowledgeable enough about this topic, so it's enabled for them.

Other hint, because it seems you are also not very knowledgeable about this topic, usually you can disable these things with group policies if you really want to, so you don't have to run it after each boot. Or you can also set up a scheduled task or create a service with nssm.

I haven't used any google services for ages (except yt and search occasionally), so I don't follow it's development

Excel is the one I don't hate, all alternatives suck way more. Active Directory is also ok, but you have to click more than in a moba game, it can become annoying.

Asking good questions is not easy.

If you ask a question which was already answered thousand of times you should search for the answer, not ask it again. Obviously from your point of view it's a new question, but if someone replies to a lot of threads it can become annoying to see the same thing again and again.

Other common wrong question is when you don't give enough details.

If you experience that your questions are downvoted frequently, please read this old guide "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way". If you ask good questions, there is a bigger chance someone will help you

But they already have a "Nothing OS": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Phone_1#Software

And they are calling that an "OS":

“If you think about the tech stack for what an OS is, I don’t think we need to work on the lower parts of the stack — drivers and how hardware connects to software and the kernel,” Pei added. “I don’t think we need to work on that, but we should work on innovating the user experience, because operating systems haven’t really changed for 40 years.

Yeah, they speaking about another freaking skin...

The problem is not building a new operating system, but app support. We have and used to have a lot alternatives, but because mainstream apps are missing no one wants to use them. They don't have enough users, so developers won't develop for them, egg-chicken problem. Everyone tried to solve this by android compatibility layer, but android apps will always run better on android...

I use microG since years at this point, and while most things are working, I always find some quirks, and some random apps not behaving as they should. I'm fine with that, but a non-tech guy would freak out from that. And it's not even a completely different os, only an alternative implementation of GMS aka Play Services.

See previous and current examples, all of them was/is a good or at least usable as an os, but if you can't use your bank's app or whatever app you need in your daily life, you won't switch to it. Even M$ couldn't solve this problem, why Mr. Pei could solve it.

Edit: Obviously in the article they don't speak about an actual OS, but one more Android skin... So Mr. Pei is not planning to solve this, they are just redefining the meaning of words, Android skins are called "OS"s in entrepreneur speak nowadays.

In 2018 secret US military bases were found via Strava heatmap: https://www.wired.com/story/strava-heat-map-military-bases-fitness-trackers-privacy/

Nothing new, same app again, noone learned anything in the last 6 years...

Posting here as there doesn’t seem to be an active Arch Linux community.

Your text says qemu-desktop is only "optional" for qemu-base. You can safely remove qemu-desktop, pacman won't nag about optional dependencies.

For checking dependencies, I like to use pactree, it draws nice graphs in the terminal: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Pactree

I was in highschool in the 2000s in Europe, and msn was our default way of communication with classmates.
