Probably like 30 out of the 200. It really is a ridiculously common name.

Edit: I just looked it up, 20% of South Koreans are called Kim.

I reckon it works a bit like Unix.

But seriously unless you're a systems engineer with 15 years of experience you probably don't know how any popular OS works (note, I'm not either, I don't know shit). They are huge beasts with astonishing complexity.

I spent a semester writing a microkernel OS with three other students. We got the init sequence working, memory management working, a shell accessible over UART, FAT32 on an SD card, a little bit of network, and a minimal HTTP server for the demo. And this was considered a big accomplishment worthy of top grades.

And that's only the scratching the surface of what makes an OS, just think of all the other things you need. Journaling filesystems, user and rights management, hundreds of drivers for devices and buses full networking support, with dual stack, DNS, tunneling, wifi, then things like hibernation, sleep, power management in general, container and virtualization support, NUMA support, DMA support, graphical output, clocks and time sync, cryptography primitives and TPM support, etc etc

I did USB only for mass storage once, that also took me a semester, and I bet PCIe is much harder.

I must have a weird sample then. My uncle specifically wants that because he doesn't want to have a separate phone. So he has a Galaxy Tablet. And a colleague at work recently inquired how she would log in to the phone company website to charge the prepaid plan if she can't get the login SMS.

iPads cant even send SMS or make calls. The most gimped of tablets.

The rest of your list seems reasonable

The pictures of the people look generated too, so it seems likely the same person would generate text too.

Under Tautology it should say that the word Tautology carries the meaning of the word Tautology

Except for the exact spelling I already share a last name with a war criminal president. But since I'm in a different country and the name has a positive association with an author here, it hasn't really seemed like an issue.

"drauf" fehlt noch :-)

Ah, I thought she was calling her meat

Bavaria gives a shit about climate protecting iniatives

"giving a shit" means "caring about", I think you meant the opposite

I have to go to Uni Fribourg soon anyway, I'll try to swing by to have a look. Thanks for the hint!

You sure managed to hook me right in!

But you could still just walk by the normal checkouts if you don’t have anything

Ah yeah, of course. I thought that was the same in the location of the article, but maybe I misunderstood and that's the main issue.

After re-reading it I'm still confused by this paragraph:

During my Monday visit, I purchased a kombucha and went through the check-out line without incident. (No high-tech gates block the exit if you go through the line like normal.) But for journalism’s sake, I then headed back into the store to try going out the new gate.

I have seen scan gates after self checkout counters before. In Albert Heiijn shops in Amsterdam and in Lidl Shops in Zürich.

But Coop and Migros Shops don't have them in Switzerland. I think the 7/11 in Copenhagen also didn't but I'm not sure of my memory.

Then I'd be pretty violent against demon invasions of our world. Or maybe I already am, don't really know how to test it out lol.

That will be even worse

Makes sense, you keep the furniture too after all

The trick is to always expect unexpected delays at Intel's Fabs, that way you can't be disappointed by them any more

Yeah he almost has to say it, regardless of his thoughts, at least to keep up appearances, if he wants to appear christian.

WTF, AMD, I bought a RX 6800 card new only 3.5 years ago, when it was your current offering. Now you're gonna act like it's old already. That's some bullshit.
