The stamped metal framing connector facilitated the use of trusses, which means an open plan house (McMansion) of much larger footprint. Trusses mean no attic.
At least where I am, I would attribute it to code requirements. A livable attic requires much more work to meet code than a vented attic space. Not to mention the energy cost of having a livable attic can be higher because there is no venting and limited insulation. All of this is speculation of course. You definitely could do it. But, if you did you'd almost certainly have to use more expensive construction techniques to meet code insulation requirements.
I think a lot of people in this thread are too young to understand what is meant by attic. Go upstairs in a house built in 1920, that’s an attic. A tiny cubby in a cavity left by engineered trusses is not. You’ll also notice the modern house, even a cheap one, is far better insulated.
I realize now perhaps they meant livable attic. That wasn't obvious to me. Crawling through non livable attics framed with trusses is part of my work sometimes.
Try to find parts for an ASUS or an MSI gaming laptop; the real killer is you have to search using both model numbers to be accurate. Multiple graphics card configurations per model makes it even harder. Sometimes, AliExpress is the only way and the motherboard still costs $525+.
... or make a OneDrive-connected folder have an icon that shows, clearly, that it's been taken over by OneDrive.
I'd give a setup option to provide a non-OneDrive Documents folder, that feature would be turned on automatically if OneDrive senses that there is a database residing in the Documents folder (ACT!, I'm looking at you!)
When I was 16 in 1976, my father and grandfather taught me how to drive stick. I learned on a 1966 rambler classic four-door sedan with three on the column. Nowadays, that would be an anti-theft device. When I lived in the country, most of my cars were stick shift and when I lived in the city I preferred automatics - nothing like driving in heavy traffic, and everyone is driving first and a half. That’s just hard to synchronize with a stick shift.
Current vehicle is a four-speed, and I don’t think I’d have anything else.
Even the professional Epson SureColor 800 ($1200+) have that problem. When you have to buy five of them to keep up with your businesses' workflow (one of my clients), it starts to cost money one cannot spend.
Just curious, I have an SC800 (the model has been discontinued). I've used the printer (fairly lightly) and not run into issues (yet anyway). Not real clear what limits to number of prints or other EOL criteria you've observed. Interesting that up to now haven't heard/read about such problems.
