Windows, in the past has been known to sometimes overwrite the Linux boot loader after a windows update.

Linux (ubuntu) do that pretty often too, people just don't notice it because they're unlikely to be running any other bootloader if they have Linux'.

Here We Go is the old Nokia Maps, which (at least until ~8 years ago) has the absolute best map data of all of the mentioned services, specially for third world countries and other places that Google and Apple aren't so worried about keeping up-to-date.

I don't see much AI stuff on Google yet but most searches there now give me only video results for some reason, with no way to opt out of them and get text results. It DDG fails me I just give up now.

If they bought the domains and fired the people it should be easy for someone else to start a new site using the available talent pool to quickly become a relevant name as well.

Me personally, I strongly dislike IGN because (other than all the common reasons) they force me to access a poorly translated version of their content when I'm perfectly capable of reading their originals in English, so even if they have an article I'm interested on, I can't easily access any decent version of it because or my geographic location.

You can solve any sudoku easily by trying every possible combination and seeing if they are correct. It'll take a long time, but it's fairly easy.

I have no idea where he slept, but there was one former millionaire homeless dude who setup shop on the side of the highway for over a decade. He sold honey, pine seeds and some other stuff like that that he managed to forage around the area (probably getting into people's property too).
