Because having only half of a printer doesn't serve any purpose.

Yeah, the sadistic psychopath students are blameless, as are the parents who raised them and the cutthroat individualistic society that favors narcissistic traits.

There are other countries than the US of A.

SwiftKeys was a popular alternative , looks like it was purchased by MS and is still alive. Prediction based on learning+dictionaries and swipe-typing/gestures were the top features

Better solution: leave their platform

I recently purchased an old Toyota from 2009, which had the TOTL audio system including an MP3 compatible cd player and Bluetooth (voice/phone-only). I ended up using the cd tray as a slot for a phone holder, and use a Bluetooth LDAC dongle connected to the AUX input. But I'm gonna burn an old school MP3 cd and leave it in the glove box for a rainy day :)

Burning cd's for ripped movies/pirated games was mostly obsoleted by super cheap & huge hard drives, in combination with piracy mainly transitioning to downloads over the internet idue to increased bandwidth and removed caps (instead of physical sharing of medi). Price per byte for HDD storage decreased 1000x between 1995-2008. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/historical-cost-of-computer-memory-and-storage?time=1995..latest

Burning for cd audio/MP3 was obsoleted in favor of MP3 players/ipod and later the smartphone.

Funny anecdote; my friend's mother referred to the cd burner as "the cd crusher" in the late 90's, I guess it's easy to mix up the terms if one is oblivious to the fact that the information is burned into the disc by a laser.

PHP: You were a nerd, now you're just outdated (and/or a WordPress developer).

 

In Relay for Reddit (which is similar to "list view" in Connect, it would show the base address for posts that are links, which helps you to quickly ignore (or just go to comment TLDR) for posts that are links to dubious websites or news websites with a lot of crap like auto-play videos, popups, sticky banners etc.

It would be nice to not have to "roll the dice" on every link based post, i.e. to get the base url as a part of the post view in list view mode.

Bonus feature request: change gestures so that short tap collapses a comment chain, instead of having to hold it for one second each. The current behavior makes navigating comment levels slow.
