Long-lost 1977 Star Wars X-Wing prop discovered – lock s-foils in bid position

Was well up for the x-wing at 400k till I saw the small print about the buyer's premium which adds another 100k on. Bit of a shame that!

Lamborghini's last remaining pure gas guzzlers are all spoken for

"only communist planned economies use tax money to support inferior products"

You obviously weren't paying attention to what happened with the banks in 2008 then, as billions of tax money went towards propping up inferior products (like sub prime mortgages)

And some of that money went towards buying lambos for the unrepentant bankers, rather than paying for a place in a jail cell

More ads in Windows 11 Start Menu could be last straw for some

Linux does not run most of the 3d software I use for work. Even macOS doesn't either. I am stuck with windows for better or worse and I suspect a lot of other people are too.

Besides, Linux is simply not user friendly for most people once you get beyond clicking on icons and have to go into the terminal - search for help with a problem, and often the answers out there make absolutely no sense to a beginner. I cannot imagine most of my non techy family including my 85 year old dad coping with it if anything goes wrong, and that means I'd be doing a lot more remote tech support.

Expecting downvotes because one must never criticise the holy Linux round here, but it still hasn't caught on for the average punter and that's not going to change soon no matter how many ads they put in windows.
