Yes but in one case the kernel gets to do it. Holding the power button on the computer bypasses this after 5s while the apple tablet needs a lot longer (it feels like at least 10s).

I find the way of expressing it a little excessive but completely understand the sentiment and based on some recent irl experiences I completely understand such an outburst.

I have prepended an almost every time I’ve said seriously that sort of thing to someone.

Oi you just learned not to let Apple summarize things! Bad lemming, straight back to your room with you!

Sounds like an iPad.

I think after like 5s something above the kernel kicks in on my PC and it’s off in less than a second.

My phones (stock Google android and GrapheneOS) both had settings for do not disturb mode where media playback can be disabled. I assume that’s causing the issue but for me it was not default.

The same AI that was doing those Amazon go stores?

That’s an exaggeration…

I get them on desktop before my phone gives me a notification lol.

For that kind of thing I use jitsi, works great and I have access to a sort of private instance that I use occasionally. Works for just voice too but it can be a little unreliable (the last two times I had a weird issue where the others suddenly couldn’t hear me and vice versa but reloading fixed it) so something else might be better for that…

What makes Linux terrible in your eyes?

Professional programmers use Linux too.

Windows is extremely unstable compared to my Linux experience. (Unless it no longer bsods regularly) I have had two kernel panics on my Linux installation total. (For comparison the Windows laptop I used to own crashed multiple times a month)

Also I was thinking more of individuals doing work rather than in a large environment, so that might make a difference though the little management software I’ve seen for Windows was pretty disappointing.

Then encrypt it…

Popularity alone doesn’t make it good (see ms windows) and yet it is still what professionals use because it’s popular.

What’s your definition of first/second language if you grow up bilingual?

The majority of English speakers aren’t from the US, though the US does have the most English speakers. Important distinction to make!

I think you’ll find most of the time the British use precisely the number U’s they intend to though typos may afflict even the best.

If you avoid 100% of information by for example being dead this does work.
