People have been saying that for years.
I remember all the Linux hype back in the 2000s. And yet, here we are 2 decades later.
I don't want to say it's impossible because who can predict the future but as it stands, Linux will not replace Windows within our lifetime.

Unlikely. Windows already implemented Linux subsystems.
You get to use both NT and UNIX on the same machine.
Why constrain yourself to only one?

Flutter is fast af. Biggest downside is that you have to learn Dart which is its own thing.
It's not that big of a jump to React Native if you already know React.

It's not that hard to enrich uranium.
If North Korea, an impoverished hellhole, can do it, you can only imagine how easy it is for a country with a real economy.

Bluetooth and WiFi
USB is a physical connection...It isn't evaluated with hertz...

Most devices use 5 Ghz now. Unless you have really old or really cheap knockoffs, it's no longer an issue.

That's because companies found that 99% of people only really picked a handful of colors.
The savings from not stockpiling 47 paint colors outweighed the lost revenue from the 1% of customers picking other colors.

Because everyone has just accepted the state of things and it hasn't become that big of an issue.
Yes, it's an issue but it's not something that greatly affects the daily lives of many. At least not in an immediate sense.

If you believe the freezing of House seats was at least partially motivated by racism and fear of the growing black population, it would certainly match with what we know of Wilson.
His opponent in the 1912 election, Taft, was also the last president to sign a bill increasing the number of House seats so there's that.

>Congress hasn’t increased it from 435 for over 110 years
Another legacy of Woodrow Wilson.
There are many contenders for worst president ever but for me, he tops the chart easily.

Sure, good to know you agree with my assessment that your "virtually guaranteed" outcome is nothing but hype.
