Either microcontrollers, operating systems, or something else involving RISC-V. That's still a ways off though.

Don't know what to tell you. All I know is that WiFi worked before the update, and then didn't after. Updating the firmware didn't fix it. Reinstalling the OS didn't fix it. Taking it to the PC repair shop didn't fix it. Replacing the network card didn't fix it. But dual-booting Linux mint did fix it, on the mint partition, at least.
I'm currently taking the very last CS class my major requires. I can't wait to leave OOP behind and focus on hardware completely.
Why do people use wsl? The only reason I can think of is to take advantage of Bash and the shell environment. But if wsl runs in its own container separate from Windows, what's the point?
Has a Linux update ever broken something on my computer? Yes. Have I ever needed to revert versions? Yes.
Has a Linux update ever broken my computer so badly, that a hardware component on the motherboard had permanently stopped working, even after reinstalling firmware? No, but a windows update did once. I had to dual-boot Mint just so I could use WiFi.
"Dear floss4life,
Our developers have encountered an issue while using the open source framework you published on github. We have lost as many as 400 user accounts. The estimated cost of this error is $6800.
This is unacceptable. Be a professional and fix it immediately.

Memory safety is a skill, not a feature.
The face of a man desperately trying to convince the world that c++ has made c obsolete, so that more people may share in his misery.
They had a good thing going. YouTube was far from unprofitable. But the skyrocketing density and plummeting quality of ads drove people to adblockers.
I suspect though, the day will soon come when ad-space is no longer quite so valuable.
"I need you to tell me how we can incorporate ai in our product."
"Ai? How could ai possibly benefit our product?"
"Don't ask me that. you're the engineer, you should know."
"Well, then I'm telling you the product has nothing to gain from incorporating ai."
"Fine, I'll keep looking until I can find someone with actual vision. See you at your performance review."
The way everyone talked about Linux, I thought it would be a transient interest I would eventually tire of. I've known a lot of professors who say they liked Linux back in the 90s, but decided they couldn't keep up with it, and have gone back to windows/apple.
I never anticipated that 4 years ago, when I booted up Linux for the first time, that it would also be the last time I shut down Windows. Furthermore, the likelihood of me ever going back seems to be getting smaller and smaller every day.

I'm convinced the reason people hate terminals is because there must have been a disinformation campaign against them by the Microsoft sales department in the 90s.
After that, even people who were comfortable with using BASIC on their 8-bit home micro-computers somehow became convinced they were too stupid to do anything without a mouse. Its Orwellian, honestly.
