I owned four LG phones (G2, G3, G4, V10), of which the G3 had a faulty case which was replaced twice, G4 had a bootloop and V10 got the green screen of death, both after one year. In both cases, they died just out of warranty and LG refused to repair. Based on the fact when I went into their customer support centre there were 100 customers queuing with dead V10s, it's pretty safe to say they have an issue.
No matter how much I want to like LG it's impossible to throw several hundred pounds down the drain every year because they can't build a quality product.
I can't understand the hate towards Microsoft on The Register. There are different tools for different jobs, and Linux is great for servers and certain other tasks where you might want to write scripts for example while personally I have been impressed with Windows 10 and prefer to run it on the desktop rather than Linux. If you want to run Linux on the desktop then you have that choice.
In terms of why people pick Windows, sure there is inerita and critical mass, but there is also the the fact that is is easier to use (i.e. everything has a graphic in the consistent way in the GUI which Linux still struggles with, and certain troubleshooting always comes back to text files), has Office which is better than the open source alternatives for business (sorry but if you are a power Excel user than Libre is not good enough) and as well as good consumer hardware compatibility.
It just depends what you want from your OS, and we are all free to pick.
I agree with the poster above, Chinese characters can have very different meanings depending on the context.
A good is example is 香, it generally means "smells good" but also means "insence" so actually 香港 is somewhat ambiguous as to if it smells good, smells of incense or both.
It looks like 飛機 has been fixed now.
