Sadly, that's most of what "science" news seems to be lately. Well, and anything Trump says.

Trump just omits the "could", "might" and "may".
Thinking about, it, doesn't that mean that Trump transports information more efficiently than scientists?

Sheesh, if they just got rid of facebook and 99% of the crap on utube and advertising it'd be 10000 times faster over copper.
Seriously though as computers/networks got faster (and storage larger) they've just found an equivalent scale of crap/bloat to put it right back where it was.

I'm thinking "alternative" but I'm not really sure about the first half ...
Look under X - TLA??? That bit is ultra-tenuous!
Regarding - RE
Reversing - ALTER
Local - NATIVE
Leading to an option - ALTERNATIVE

Well done - you're close to the solution, but... the answer is right.
Look under X ALT (The solution is right under your nose - or possibly your left hand...)
Regarding reversing re => ER
Local NATIVE

I hadn't previously heard of the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard. An interesting use of the word "simplified", if nothing else.

I checked UK, USA, US/Russian, Croatian/Slovenian, US/Czech, Hungarian, Polish, US/Slovak, German, Italian, Latin American, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and Dutch.
Persian, Katakana, Chinese, Thai and Korean I couldn't do anything about!

That shows an admirable degree of diligence but it didn't help me with my Lao keyboard where ALT is located beneath a couple of characters than I can't pronounce!
