It’s not exactly that they’re recently-graduated so much as it is that it’s really hard to find people qualified in graphic design or UX within the last decade who don’t daily-drive MacOS, so they’re not already fluent with Windows’ design language, and have to pick it up as they go, and fill in with what they know works on phones and Macs when they don’t know the right thing to do. On the other hand, if you only hire people who graduated decades ago, and really know how Windows users use Windows, you run the risk of assigning too much weight to how Windows users used Windows twenty years ago, and missing out on innovations that became popular in the meantime.

Plenty of high-end monitors need more bandwidth than DisplayPort 1.4a can provide if operating uncompressed, but models with a DP 2.x port typically cost a lot more because it needs reasonably expensive hardware to make it work. That means that if you use DP, then you have to compromise between spending more money or using Display Stream Compression. Monitors needing that much bandwidth basically always have an HDMI 2.1 port that can handle it uncompressed, but without this patch, if you used HDMI under Linux with a Radeon GPU, it wouldn’t run in HDMI 2.1 mode, so would give even less bandwidth than DisplayPort 1.4a, and you’d experience even more compression artefacts, despite the same configuration working perfectly under Windows.

Unless you pick a particularly short-lived isotope, the radiation wouldn’t have time to hurt you before you died of regular heavy metal poisoning like you’d get from something boring like lead or mercury.

Pretty effective because of its high density, too. It’s a shame it’s brittle and would give you heavy metal poisoning.

A cheap record player or a cheap CD player were always better than a high-end cassette player. Cassettes were designed to be small at the expense of quality at a time when technology didn’t allow things to be both small and high quality, and the constraints of the medium are well within the bounds of what most people can easily hear. Once CDs and their players became cheap, tape was entirely obsolete, and didn’t have the I don’t understand Nyquist Sampling Theorem or acknowledge the existence of dust excuse that vinyl had.

Unironically, if you bing Windows API related queries rather than googling them, you’re much more likely to find a relevant manual page that answers your question clearly. I wouldn’t be surprised if Google is actively worsening Windows-related queries to make Windows look bad and sell Android devices and Chromebooks. Another example is that googling msvcp140.dll not found or similar queries gives you loads of dodgy download this individual DLL here and put it in System32 and we promise we’ve not tampered with it websites instead of the page for the universal MSVC redistributable installer that’s the only supported way to get the DLL (and a bunch of other related ones) as an end user.

As for silly nomenclature, generally on Windows, API functions are much more likely to describe what they do and much less likely to be a town in Wales. If you don’t already know what fstat does, it’s much easier to guess that GetFileTime would be the right function to get a file’s last modification time than fstat, for example.
