A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It sounds like you still don't understand what a rhetorical question is.

Seems you're the one who doesn't understand what a rhetorical question is. Hint - it's not what you retrospectively call a question when you get called out on your laziness.

Nor is it rhetorical when you ask a question and then spend several lines going on about it, and making it clear that you really did want to talk about an answer.

Why are you asking me? I'm not the one accusing others of "nOt rEaDiNg dA tHrEaD bEfOrE u AsKeD a qUeStOn". My top level reply was on-topic. No one has actually provided an on-topic reply to it yet.
