9mm Parabellum was designed by Austrian George Luger 10mm Auto was designed by FFV Norma AB of Sweden 5.56 NATO was developed in Belgium by FN Herstal, as was 5.7mm 7.62×39mm was developed by the Soviets

These European cartridges all use metric measurements

.223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .40 Smith & Wesson, .22lr, .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum, .44 Remington Magnum are all American made cartridges that use decimals of Imperial measurements Original designer’s name gets includes because, well, capitalism lol

I think one of the few exceptions might be 6.5mm Creedmoor, developed by Hornady

In order to be exposed to this phenomenon, this 80 year old grandma would need to have two PCs for that purpose, which is rather uncommon. They’d also need to engage in more activities than you’re describing, because browser only Grandma probably doesn’t have any shortcuts.

I own a repair shop and interact with your average consumer / home user on a regular basis, so making these concepts understandable to them is not alien to me.

As an alternative, though, I have had to explain why leaving OneDrive running and paying Microsoft $2 per month would have saved them a few hundred dollars in advanced data recovery fees or maybe even have any data at all after a crashed head made confetti out of the platter.

I’ve also sent people to check OneDrive.com and have them skip that entire phase of work altogether. Compared to 10 years ago, data recovery cases are increasingly rare in my shop.

It might seem dead simple to you and I, but getting this type of user to manage a 3-2-1 backup themselves is hard work and is no likely to pan out in their favor.

I considered the cost of the hardware and the time I would spend getting it all configured, then collecting the content from various sources.

Ultimately decided that $189 was worth it. I already have too many WIPs and something like this has been sitting on my ToDo list for years already, this is a great shortcut

Getting out of S mode is a few clicks away though. There’s a certain kind of user who actually benefits from it, and nobody is locked in.

RT’s restrictions were primarily architecture based (ARM)

There is no better archive utility than 7-Zip IMO

Just wish there was a MacOS version

During/after the recent LA fires, they spraypainted “NOT EV” on all of the ICE vehicles

In that case, they wouldn’t have found it in Control Panel anyways.

Otherwise, they would have opened Control Panel.

Settings is more accessible to casual users.
