So many articles that give statistics refer to the median of this and the median of that.
Why does no one give averages anymore?
And no, a median is not the same as an average. I suspect that more and more writers *think* that median = average.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Maybe because median is more meaningful than the average (in some cases)? Just a thought.
You probably know the old story about Bill Gates walking into a bar. Also average household net worth in US is something like 750000$ while median is only around 130000$.

Generally speaking, the median is more useful with a data set that has a large range because it minimizes the effects of large outliers. Income is one very good example of a data set where it is helpful because there is essentially no upper limit to it so the extremely large-income outliers will have an undo effect on the "average" income value.

Like with many other things, both have they usage and are the best when appropiated.
You can't put nails with scissors and you can't cut a paper with a hammer.
People need to learn the differences and use them in the right context.

You use what serves your goal the best.
If your country has a super-super-rich elite, you use average if you want to show how rich your country is. You use mean if you rather want to fight for social reform in your country.
If you are a teenager, your parents will use the average age of sexual debut to tell you that your are too young to go to bed with your lover. You will argue that more than half of the kids your age have an erotic life.
Here in Norway, the standard of living is so high that very few people ever reach it.

You can if you try really hard.

I might need to hit my head against the desk, but I learned today the dos command:
winget
it will scan your whole system for software that needs update, and then is you decide to do it, it is waaaaaayyyy faster than many options I have seen.
Example: winget list
You will get all the installed software and the 2.column from the right is the new version available (if filled)

I was told that the update through winget only becomes possible after Microsoft checking the official site and being allow to scan the installers, so you theoretically have the defenses of Microsoft in the background and a secure connection through https to the official link.
That's why not every software are available, but even then, the "list" argument is a cool way to check if something is in a system or not, it looks pretty damm complete.

You add enough and you can get them to do marching band formations.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.
