What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows
As Torvalds pointed out in 2019, is that while some major hardware vendors do sell Linux PCs – Dell, for example, with Ubuntu – none of them make it easy. There are also great specialist Linux PC vendors, such as System76, Germany’s TUXEDO Computers, and the UK-based Star Labs, but they tend to market to people who are already into Linux, not disgruntled Windows users. No, one big reason why Linux hasn’t taken off is that there are no major PC OEMs strongly backing it. To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”

How do phones find the city of a phone number?
I’m writing a program that can find info about a phone number. One problem appears to be that Google’s phone number library doesn’t provide enough info. For instance, take this number: +1 (613) 745-1576. My iPhone correctly says “Ottawa, Ontario, Canada”, while Google’s library doesn’t return the city? How does my iPhone pick this up but not Google’s own library? Is this provided by cell carriers? Is it something with the 745 block? If so, where can I find this info?

#Microsoft fake #Windows error ended in a $280 million settlement.
The story mostly forgotten today, and one of the reasons why MS was/is so disliked. This is just one of their dirty tricks they played to gain mass adoption and eventually a monopoly on the PC.
