  1. And the funny thing is :

    most of these commands are very similar to ms-dos command-line commands.

    Probably very few people remember this time, where PC's only had a teminal environment, the system booted and then showed a prompt A>

    And you had to manyally type

    cd mygames
    game.bat

    And today, when you go to highschool, the teacher teaches you how the filesystem structure is, and how you have to manipulate files in order to install things, for instance a game, on your computer.

     


  2. Ouch!

    That's the old problem, named downwards compatibility.

    Serious software makers keep the new operating system, or the middle-ware program, strictly compatible with the old programs.

    This means that each old piece of program has to continue working with the new operating system. Of course, the new software has new features the old programs did not know about, so the old programs will not take full benefit of the new things, but they have to continue working exactly as previously.

    Else, from quality point of view, if old code do not work with the new systems, this is a quality regression, and this issue has to be fixed.

    Of course, in our modern word, nobody cares about quality, end-user satisfaction, we will have to continue accepting these unacceptable features.


  3. Concerning the fact being optimistic, I just had the same problem on another Windows computer, the ctf engine seems to die during boot. Not important, of course, needed only when default Microsoft things (like Microsoft edge beeing started by an app, or if I need the search bar, or inside the HP support Assistant tool).

    A Raspberry Pi is a general-purpose computer, usually with a Linux operating system, and the ability to run multiple programs

    Of course, depends from the memory size and from the cpu power needed by these programs. Nevertheless, I agree, as far as it's a linux system it's able to do quite a lot of things. I feel more skeptic when the Rapsberry Pi is used with Windows 10.

    And of course, I really would love knowing how people use this device, and how satisfied they feel.

    OK. So, if you want a database (I mean you want hosting including a database) you will have to work in order to obtain it.
