What I remember from back in the day was XLISP.

That's going way back, and was portable enough to be used on a variety of operating systems. There was a package of it for the HP Integral!

An early version of Xlisp was used as the basis for Autolisp, but Autolisp wasn't updated to track Xlisp's capabilities. It's kinda like how Commodore BASIC was a nerfed version of Microsoft BASIC that Commodore licensed back in the 1970s and then never updated since to track later BASIC versions, just added a few commands here and there to support later Commodore machines.

Anything she buys won’t have specific drivers, e.g. Webcams or mice or keyboards or etc.

First, is that so? My neighbors just got their 80-year old parents a Thinkpad. All works. They bought a mouse the week after. Worked right away.

Second, they don't buy this kind of thing every week.

These days it is really visible in Windows 11 as well.

Why are you logged into OneDrive if you don’t want to use it?

Actually I am not logged on OneDrive (AFAIK I did not create any OneDrive accounts) Excel insists that I should save my spreadsheets on OneDrive. Thus the infuriation.

Maybe he did not deliberately log into one drive, but was tricked with dark patterns and suggestive interface design. Which makes it even worse.

Or maybe he in fact is not logged into onedrive, and 365 simply sucks.

Do EU countries not have patents for what they research?

Are the people helped or cured less helped or cured because the developers retained rights?

Especially since SpaceX decided that was too expensive for a disposable rocket or even a reusable one.

The first and second stages being disposed of aren’t pollution?

Yeah, that's fair. I was thinking only locally. However, I would hope they are dropping both stages somewhere relatively responsible. I guess I don't know where that is for polar orbits.

SpaceX launched three times and would have failed if their fourth launch hadn’t worked. They certainly never had the money to launch many times and fail.

Tesla was not a well working startup - they had no funds and he was the fourth employee. They had some ideas about making an electric car.

Name a car they were producing before when Elon became the company’s chairman. With their three employees.

Revisionist history because of your feelings is still wrong.
