Fixed it for you:

Company renders 60%+ of computers running current software incapable of running new software due to niche hardware requirement, abruptly ends support for current version next year, and tells users to throw away their computers and buy new ones.

Oh, and they're promoting their cloud storage option. Which may or may not have anything to do with their data harvesting? I don't really know on that one.

Ah, the usual case of English and American being two entirely different languages despite pretending otherwise.

Nailed it on the last one. I was going to say, you can probably thank the American education system if it's common enough to be recognized by dictionaries like those. And Zahille7 is probably American, too, which caused the snarky comment in the first place.

Just the usual case of English being a crazy language that ruffles through other languages' coat pockets looking for loose adverbs.

That's why we need people to repeat it loudly and often to really get under their skin.

The English language? I have never heard the phrase "inverted commas."

But as to your point: "Both? Both is good."

They'll be useful for gamers, at least. With the increasing trend of companies caring less about properly optimizing the size of game installs and expecting gamers to have SSDs for texture loading on the fly, these drives will definitely see use. I currently have a 4TB HDD that has over 2.3TB of Steam games installed on it right now (roughly 100 games from tiny indie games to big AAA releases that are 40-80 gigs in size), and several newer games have an SSD listed as one of their minimum requirements.

Those windows with the curtain drawn the exact same way and the on ramp looking like something out of Cities: Skylines look like AI, but everything else looks too logical to me. They even have the sign accurately laying out the nonsense traffic pattern of the road looping around and underneath the highway.

It's very well done and I hate that it takes this much effort to check whether or not a photo may or may not be fake.

Parts of Massachusetts are like that as well. As far as I know, flood insurance basically no longer exists on Cape Cod.

I was going to make a joke about building a utility grid and making Texas pay for it, but I realized that telling those kinds of people that they'll have heat and electricity in the winter and that their bill is going down thanks to big government and socialism is fitting punishment.

14 werewolves??

Way to put words in my mouth. I wasn't defending anything.

I was pointing out that the reason people started arguing with you is because you said that they're posted on the edge of municipalities, and they said that they've never seen them visibly posted anywhere that wasn't a highway and asked for specific places where you've seen this hapoen. You then switched to arguing that they didn't believe that minimum speed limits exist at all.

You're straw-manning.

But, since you accused me of making the same argument, for your information, I used to drive for a living. Everywhere obviously has minimum speed limits, but where I live, they're only posted on specific roads where they differ from the norm. Most people could probably go their entire lives around here without ever seeing one that wasn't posted on a highway alongside the signs saying that it's illegal to ride a horse down the highway. We don't have signs that say, "Welcome to the town of Smithston, minimum speed limit is 15mph." The minimum speed limit is statewide, except in cases where a town deems it necessary, which is usually specific roads, not an entire municipality.
