Where are you getting that from? The article you're commenting on say otherwise:
France’s state railways company SNCF called the overnight disruption a “massive attack aimed at paralyzing the high-speed line network.”

They were focused on the TGV high speed train network which covers the whole of France, and which is particularly busy at this time of year.
Eurostar’s Brussels-Lille-London trains are not affected.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's some service that gave out shortened links by default and people just used those everywhere. Lots of people are clueless about how URLs work, and authoring HTML often means filling in a form.
If there is anything I know about technology, it's that moving everything to The Cloud is the current trend.
Currently it's shoehorning AI into everything, surely?
But good stuff, always nice to see pointless bad ideas proved possible!
You're missing Windows 2000, but I guess you can argue that's Windows NT not mainline Windows. That was definitely in the good camp, and I was not alone in sticking with it for many years (until XP got good).
Edit: I see @NickwithaC@lemmy.world beat me to this point.
We're soon going to have to update the old emacs jokes to reference Neovim.
Even ignoring privacy arguments, I think that voice control is a great use case for running services locally - lower latency due to not having up upload your sample and the option of having it learn your accent is very attractive.
That said, voice control is irritatingly error-prone and seems to be slower than just reaching for the remote control. I agree that automatic stuff would be best, but some stuff you can't have rules for.
Something that would be interesting is a more eye- and gesture-based system: I'm thinking something like you look at the camera and slice across your throat for stop or squeeze fingers together to reduce volume. This is definitely one to run locally, for privacy and performance reasons.
Not even htop? That is old school.
They'd be a lot more of them if iPhone supported the technology better.
I say that as someone who's pitched PWAs to companies, but since many of the managers and owners seem to be in on the Apple ecosystem, demos often aren't that impressive. Having to answer "kinda" to can they do x questions doesn't go down well.
We had a "kids tape" that had countless things recorded over each other. The second half was just a collage of the tail end of various cartoons and shows. When it got to the Abba-soundtracked documentary about a carnival it meant you were at the end of the tape.
It seems the image is a screenshot of the original page, slightly upscaled, but since the source page includes links to larger images we can make the HD remaster. Shotgun not me.
I had a "T-Mobile MDA Vario II" (HTC TyTN 300) which was similar, and also had a collapsible stylus which lived in a little hole on the bottom. It was Windows Mobile, but it was great having the keyboard fully accessible (without that extra bottom bit the G1 had).
It looked like this, just less German:
