The site is cancerous on mobile. Also the article is poorly written:

Note that popular models, like the Bronco, Corolla Cross, and Civic, from the 2023 model year maintain a defiant pricing of around 10% of their 2025 counterparts, an impressive resilience considering that a 3-year-old car should’ve shed around 40% of its value by now.

10% of their 2025 counterparts is a tenth the cost, but not what they mean.

That’s cool, if true. I’m trying to buy all books DRM free lately.

Thanks! Picked it up for face value. Been wanting these DRM free for my Kobo and I love WCK.

Except Windows doesn’t. You can send WM_CLOSE, but that may not actually bail out of the core loop. PostQuitMessage() works better for some apps, but not at all for windowless CONSOLE subsystem processes. Windows also has a lot of special behavior around generating signals in other processes. It’s a mess.

Like, every time I reboot the reboot UI complains about mysterious, unnamed processes that take suspiciously long to quit.

Having the kernel yank the process out of existence with prejudice is definitely the way to go as apps should be hardened for crashing, anyway.
