The Japanese military still flies nearly the same flag.
That chess game even predates OS X, it was a tech demo that came with the NextStep OS and has barely changed since the mid nineties. At this point it would be said to see it go.
It's actually pretty good for a mobile game, it scratches that civ itch in 30 minute long games.
Reading books. There are some great books on programming out there. I would strongly recommend a A Players Guide to C#. It's structure, practice problems, and explainations of the basics were far better than any free guide to programming that I've seen online. There are a lot of other great books out there too.
It also doesn't matter too much about a book being outdated when you are only studying the fundamentals.
A lot of the stuff you read online has never been fact checked or edited for clarity. Some of it is great, but most of it is not.
Linux has decimated Windows in the server market. It would be unthinkable for a new project to use Windows server, even Azure assumes you want to use Linux.
There are lots of industrial applications where open source has dominated the market. As the end user you might not see it, but almost all software and digital infrastructure you use has open source components.
No reasonable person should be afraid to be filmed dancing. The video was completely innocent and the principal at this school is clearly a religious creep.
In this world today there is also no way to avoid being filmed anyway.
If new evidence exonerates a living person, they can be released. You cant bring an innocent dead person back to life.
IMO if you were American, you would remember it for being traumatizing rather than for disrupting your cartoons. I'm about the same age as you and it had a huge impact on everyone I knew.
That book was written by a socialist.
The new Apple silicon in the Mac lineup is the most exciting thing they have done in the PC space in more than a decade.

You're much more likely to just restart than to shutdown and need to hit the power button. I don't think I've shutdown my MacBook since I turned it on, or my Linux box either. IMO unless there's a power outage you'll never need to hit that button. Still dumb though but i can't imagine this as a deal breaker.
$599 for this thing is an insane deal.
