You said it well and I agree. I went to college in the early 90s and Unix workstations and IBM pcs were in our computer lab. They were cheap and accessible. Also, Linus Torvalds creates Linux based on the Posix (Unix) standard. It was acessible to him and the university was using Unix. The universities and tech programs define the future.

Why does the Register keep bringing this issue about working from home? It frustrates me because working from home is lower cost for most workers anyway. There are not any commuting costs and fewer clothing costs and food costs because you can have your own refrigerator with cheaper food than paying for lunch when at work.
Elden Ring is like the other FromSoft games in that the combat system is really good and difficult and requires a lot of controller involvement. I like the FromSoft games, but they are really made for combat mechanics.
Elden Ring is a throwback to the old days of obtuse and difficult games to play with a lack of involved story. There is a fan-base that likes this, but ER does not have the modern features of lots of other open world games today. If you like games like Assassins Creed, Far Cry, Witcher, Skyrim, then expect to be disappointed.
