Left-right on the D-pad is hardly a complex input. Just about every child managed to discover it. It was one of the few ways they could make Mario Kart a bit more skill based.

Hint, Palestine wasn’t there when Israel was created so that is Israel’s land

Israel wasn’t there when Israel was created either. This is some nonsense argumentation.

And B this most recent war was all started by Hamas.

Hamas has been in armed conflict with Israel for decades. I think you’re confusing peace with quiet. And even then there have been repeated attacks on Palestinian land by Israeli settlers.

There has never been an independent, sovereign Arab state in the region known as Palestine. The Arab population began developing a distinct Palestinian national identity toward the end of the Ottoman period and especially during the British Mandate in opposition to Jewish immigration and British rule.

Neither had there been a sovereign, independent Jewish state. There was however a semblence of a Palestinian national identity near the end of the Ottoman period, which is well before the establishment of Israel. Regardless, there were plenty of Arabic people living there. Zionist settlers had no right to colonise the region and drive these people from their homes.

You should really look into how Israel was established, especially look at the large amounts of Zionist terrorist groups seeking to commit ethnic cleansing. Jews had lived relatively peacefully in the region for centuries until these nationalist fanatics came along.

For those confused: it was the Dutch that placed the display panels about African American soldiers.

It was removed on orders of the Trump administration.

That’s not a Christmas celebration, and the Dutch authorities are actually pretty pissed about it, because the Americans had it removed.

I mean, Israel has killed significantly more people in Gaza than Hamas ever did in Israel. In the most recent conflict Israel killed 35 Palestinians for every Israeli killed. Israel has also caused significantly more property damage to civilian infrastructure.

I would not want to live under Hamas control, certainly. But I also would not like to live next to Israel either.

What statistic are you using to measure “worst” here?

They live in the ocean, we don’t.

The transphobic argument isn’t that you’d be gay for dating someone who used to be a dude, in their view you’re currently dating someone who still is a dude.

These kinds of imaginary clapbacks are fun but usually end up fairly unconvincing to (transphobic) people.

Counterpoint: If there’s anyone who doesn’t promote Windows and actively dislikes it, it’s Windows users.

You really won’t short something, and wooden toothpicks are at risk of splintering and leaving more behind than getting out if you’re not careful.

You generally won’t be touching the contacts much, since most gunk like lint can just be scooped out. Just be a bit gentle and you’ll be fine.

I used to think this too, but using a global time means the date also ticks over to the next day at odd moments during the day. So in the end it feels like timezones with extra confusion.

Right I get what you mean now. “File History” =/= “Previous Versions”. But “Previous Versions” has been entirely replaced since Win8, so not entirely relevant.

It’s also completely unrelated to file deletions, because the VSS system both System Restore and Previous Versions use worked on the block-level, and as you already pointed out blocks aren’t written to when a file is deleted, it either gets copied over to the recycle bin or just marked as deleted, but neither affect the block contents (VSS works on a CoW principle, blocks are backed up only if written to, but live performance is basically unaffected by this unless you’re doing huge loads like big DB modifications or something.

What? File History is a completely different system. System Restore makes occasional restoration points and is enabled by default, File History needs to be set up to use it. It’s disabled by default and Microsoft seems to be actively trying to hide it (try finding it in the Win11 settings screen; you won’t find it there) so people use OneDrive to back their stuff up instead.

Sure, but neither is relevant to the recycle bin.

I take it you don’t filesystem much do you?

I take it you don’t Windows much?

Windows moves the file from its current folder to the hidden system folder C:\$Recycle.Bin\. That involves copying file metadata, updating NTFS records, and possibly moving the file across volumes (which becomes a full file copy+delete).

Large files or folders with many entries take longer because NTFS has to record each move, update security descriptors, and maintain the Recycle Bin’s index.

If the file is on another drive than the C-drive, the system literally copies it into that drive’s recycle bin folder, then deletes the original.

Nobody said Windows did this stuff efficiently.

I’m practically certain that what’s slowing Windows down when sending something to the Recycle Bin is the background processing and data compression being performed by System Restore.

Windows doesn’t do any recycle bin data compression. And System Restore is a completely separate, unrelated system. So no it doesn’t do any of that.

Not on Windows, it actually moves your files to a special directory.

Shift-Del to delete files is usually much faster, though obviously this skips the recycle bin.

China is investing more in solar. But China is also very power-hungry, so any energy they produce will get sold to the market, so their market looks significantly different. Their economy is different and so is their power usage.

The same could be said of solar. ‘It’s a very expensive capitol investment and as soon as the sun goes down it’s just a stupidly expensive roof costing money’.

Solar is significantly cheaper. Like it’s not even funny how much cheaper it is. This means that other than the sun going down, they’re always going to be producing because it’s by far the cheapest power available. And because they easily earn back what they cost, it’s perfectly fine if they don’t operate at 100% efficiency.

For nuclear to remain economically viable in these market conditions it has to be similarly profitable, and it just isn’t.

You’d have similar problems doing this under communism tbf. It’s expensive under any economic system. Solar at least has the advantage that any Joe Shmoe can put it on their roof and produce their own power, not being dependent on big energy corpos.
