"Thank you Vera much."

That's the thing, there are a bunch of legitimate improvements to Windows 11. They're just all very obscure, hard to explain things hidden away in the kernel that most users will either never encounter or never even notice.

The things they will notice are the far worse task bar, the randomly missing features that were removed for no apparent reason, the higher hardware requirements, the constant nagging to use new Windows features, the existing features that have been randomly changed for no readily apparent reason, and the new features that are too buggy to use, like HDR support or dynamic refresh rates.

From the summary:

IOW, they're sticking with their marketing pitch.

That's no longer the American Way (if it ever was).

Wind is part of the cause, but the GS itself is an ocean current.

The reported drop ins SpaceX is understandable given the recent IPO.

As for most of the others, is a 2% drop significant?

In a free country, "too big to fail" is to big to be allowed.

Great Scott! We just need 0.21 gigawatts more!

I'm not from the future. It's just that time is cyclical.

There are various hypotheses to explain it, such that the universe is cyclical or that we're stuck in a time loop. But the most broadly accepted hypothesis is that a prior civilization collapsed at the end of year 32,767, and it has taken us almost 35,000 years to get back to where we are now.

Of course, our calendar doesn't allow for a year 0, so we may have an off-by-one error. But then again people celebrated the millennium at the end of 1999, so maybe there's a tacit assumption that there was in fact a year 0.
 

Actually, I like watching the stunt men and special effects.

Nah, they're just jealous that other people's fuckups have been dominating the news, and they want some of that old-fashioned media love too.

I haven't been to the cinema since 2917, because everything was already too boring and predictable to watch. Let alone pay for.

Have you ever considered that pointing out that "x is bad" does not in any way imply "y is good".

If "3x more" means proportional, then TT must be about 150% slop.

Probably a pretty good estimate...

Or "donate" to an appropriate "charity".
