The problem is that there is no way of knowing what the letter is. All you get is a slip through your door saying an item of mail is waiting for you and has a £5 fee to pay. If you're like me, you pay the fee, fearful that it might be something important.
My SurfaceBook has a better build quality that my MacBook Pro model from the same era (2019) - MacBooks have improved a lot in the last few years though with the new chips I guess?
I prefer the MacOs to Windows, but MacBook hardware was definitely disappointment on this model. I had numerous graphics & power issues on the MacBook Pro, plus touchbar was annoying.
Dell & Lenovo are crap, I've given up on them. Surface is good, and I'm happy with my LG Gram.
There is selection bias in their ownership experience. But I really concur. Microsoft hardware is better than stock Chinese PC hardware, but still not as good as Apple hardware (all produced in China).
Opening a terminal in admin window which means any commands you put in that windows will always have admin privilege, no matter what.
What does Sudo is to only provide the root/admin privileges for specific inputted command. Once it is done, it goes back to user privileges. This way, the terminal window didn't need to end the session to go back to user privileges.
"Admin"'s identity is the resource you're asking permissions to use. If don't want identities, are you going to manually authorize every file that needs to be interacted with? For a recursive delete of thousands of files?
Sudo also allows you to control which commands can be elevated to admin.
It also lets you elevate to admin without knowing the admin password, you elevate with your normal account password. Effectively, some commands can execute as admin, but the user generally cannot.
So you can allow limited administration without giving everything away.
Good thing they're keeping the admin terminal too so you can just keep using that.
Personally I think it's way more likely the admin command is the one off like installing something, changing a setting and then everything else before and between it are user commands that don't need to be in admin space most of the time.
> Just that you can run a single command as admin?
I mean, that's sudo's whole thing! [1] You can live your day to day terminal life without the risk of borking things too badly, then when you occasionally need to elevate to higher privileges you can do it easily for that specific command.
[1] Technically not the whole thing obviously, but it's a very common use case.
the things Rare has been known for were platformers (Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong) and FPS games (Goldeneye, Perfect Dark).
Perfect Dark Zero in 2005 was probably the last title in either of those veins, which was a launch title for the 360 (soon to be 2 consoles ago!)
Sea of Thieves is certainly a feather in their cap, it's just a bit disappointing that we haven't been able to see Rare take a modern crack at the things they were so known for, if that's even possible now.
Most of the Rare staff responsible for those games have left in the decades since (many of them formed Playtonic, which was the pitch behind Yooka-Laylee)
To expect a company to produce the quality/type of games that they made 20+ years ago is a bit unfair, don't you think? I'd venture to guess that the folks behind those games left the studio along time ago anyway.
