It’s vector.

Raster is a grid of dots, vector is lines from point to point.

Most real floppy drives are on their own port. They show up as /dev/fd0

It is interesting but people have different thresholds for what they consider “ads”

I know Ubuntu took some flak for offering their system — was it Ubuntu Pro? — at their login screen. That’s fine with me, but bothers others.

Ubuntu again did it with some music store app in their app search results.

Meanwhile Windows has stuffed Candy Crush, Office, and many others in the start menu over the years. And sometimes it’s not Microsoft but OEMs doing this.

But is crapware “advertising”? Im not sure but it seems like perceptions have shifted at the same time as Microsoft specifically has pushed more and more intrusive ads, and those have moved further to the “advertising” side of that line between suggestion and spam.

Noting that “the other way around” refers to the numbers that are backwards (six constructors championships, seven drivers championships). Not that Red Bull helped Newey win those championships. :-)

Short answer: yes.

It’s hidden by default but it should be there in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp for “all users” and %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup separately for each user.

XP-7 had this right with a folder in the start menu for startup items, just drag a file or shortcut there and it runs on startup.

It’s the same in 10. This is actually one thing I find obnoxious in Linux, even as a user for 25+ years… menu “shortcuts” aka .desktop files are harder to make and poorly documented.

Also a testament to how much of a benefit it is when the vendors just get out of the way and don’t feel the need to add their own Special Sauce^TM^ to the drivers.

They absolutely have pixels. They aren’t directly addressable but they exist.

Journalism is only rarely directed at strategy game players though. CAS is not a common abbreviation for the public like ATM is.

Depends. Do you have more money than Disney? If so, the odds are in your favor.

What would be your preferred terminology?

“Close air support aircraft” is a bit awkward.
