The Royal Scions have two planeswalker types to make up for The Wanderer having none. (They were later split into individual cards, Will and Rowan)

If you want to use it in your start menu, there are some options. I know Start11 can use Everything, for example (but isn't free - there may be free options out there, but I haven't looked).

Otherwise, most of what I've seen are CLI applications. Is there anything specific about Windows you're hoping to see a replacement for? For me, search and settings (why the f are you advertising to me in the f-ing settings?) are the worst offenders, but settings is kinda locked in for the most part unfortunately.

I haven't had issues with Delta (aside from their website not working at all for me sometimes), but the tickets can be a little expensive compared to alternatives, so always good to shop around.

Rule 10 might also not apply since the companion mechanic is a special action. Still, it's a bit confusing because "Companion" is itself a keyword ability (702.139), so my guess is that while the companion ability allows you to take a special action to put the card into your hand, it itself doesn't put the card in your hand, so it doesn't apply. Companions are weird.

My understanding with commander is that players don't have sideboards, so they are unable to bring any cards from outside the game into the game. 903.11 may be referring specifically to companions, which for some weird reason, are legal in commander.

In casual commander, you can of course do what you want as long as the play group is okay with it.

(Also, I don't play a lot of commander, so my rules knowledge for it may be incorrect.)

We have infused AI into every layer of Windows

I sure hope not. I don't want Windows to just decide to delete my hard drive because it feels like it.

We are introducing Windows Semantic Index, a new OS capability which redefines search on Windows and powers new experiences like Recall.

You could also improve Windows search by contracting with voidtools and integrating Everything. While you're at it, maybe ditch the bing searches, and other useless search results?

Anyway, the rest of the article seems to go into actual dev-oriented details, and there's some interesting bits like enabling certain AI acceleration features on the web (probably only in Edge though...), for what that's worth.

Not quite a "gaming PC" since, at least if they're using something like Nvidia's Hopper GPUs (or relying on another service that does), they're not designed for gaming (and in the price range of $10k-$100kish), buuut if you ignore the finer details then fundamentally it's basically like that. They'd send the image to their "very expensive gaming PC server" where the inferencing would be done.

Feels like we could have both by ditching tenure and allowing professors to express their opinions (so long as it doesn't interfere with teaching, of course).

Anecdotally, my business ethics professor in college was a very open libertarian. I'll never agree with his politics, but despite that, he was an excellent teacher, and one of the better ones I had at the school overall. On the other hand, none of the classes I had that were run by tenured professors were any good, with one professor even giving us the wrong exam once and having us complete it anyway, even though it had material we weren't even expected to know.

I feel like I see this question come up now and then across the communities I'm in, and there's always a debate over search engines lol. Anyway, to answer the question, I use Kagi for its custom rankings (and, more recently, Wolfram|Alpha integration, which I've found more useful than I expected it to be).

I've seen this in a few places on desktop, and I have no clue why it's even a feature. I'm not aware of anyone using it anywhere (although to be fair I haven't thought to ask).

As for why it's enabled by default, probably for visibility. The easiest way to get people to use a feature is to make them use it and make them explicitly disable it (if even an option). For AI training, they could theoretically just capture typing data and messages regardless of if the feature is enabled/disabled anyway.

Duff's device takes this to a whole new level.

In C# at least, goto can take you between case labels in a switch statement (rather than using fallthrough), which I don't view as being nearly as bad. For example, you can do goto case 1 or goto default to jump to another case.

The only other use of goto I find remotely tolerable is when paired with a labelled loop statement (like putting a label right before a for loop), but honestly Rust handles that far better with labelled loops (and labelled block expressions).
