If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

How about making Edge so superior that we would choose to use it?
Ironically, I did have a need to use it a while back for a specific purpose but usually barely touch it.

I would like to see a Windows screen saver that pops up a window that says, "Wouldn't you rather use Linux?"

Of course in Edge get stupid dialog from Chrome asking to install chrome. How many times have I said no to that dialog. Also the dialog from Youtube asking to upgrade and again how many times have I said no. Wish they would put a checkbox on to say I have had enough and not interested...

Shorter hours, to my mind, would lead to far greater productivity in many jobs but it will take a huge paradigm shift to cure many managers of the notion that a man who can dig x square meters in an hour can dig 24x cubic meters in a 24-hour shift.

We could have done that in the last century; decent pay for everyone will not happen any time soon.

Pursuing all the new and shiny stuff we want will fill that fifth day back up again.
If we were willing to live at a mostly per-industrial level - other than mechanized/etc farming - we could work for less than an hour a week in our circa 1750/1800 homes and lifestyle.
If we were willing to live at a pre-service economy level (not thrilled with the term, but basically dropping everything beyond industrialization) we could work one day a week and spend the other six enjoying our 1940's lifestyle.
Any takers?
I thought not.

If management wouldn't give me tasks that only help them to feel like they're doing something, and if I didn't have to fill out digital forms for database migrations, QA and production releases, job schedules, and emergency access to various servers, I could probably have a 3 day workweek.
So, we don't need more tech advances. We need less friggin' tech.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have devised a way to automatically transform the content of one video into the style of another, making it possible to transfer the facial expressions of comedian John Oliver to those of a cartoon character, or to make a daffodil bloom in much the same way a hibiscus would. You mean John Oliver and Stephen Colbert aren't the same person?

I was wondering which of the two would bloom like a daffodil does...
