yes. until Microsoft starting putting scary popups in their software saying Win 10 was unsupported and that they should download a compatibility checker to see if they can upgrade to 11.

I'm no longer in my mother's basement and live the other side of town. She's in her 80s so explaining to her why her 16GB core i5 laptop is throwing out weird messages. She's wealthy enough she could buy a new laptop but then someone still has to migrate all her documents and explain to her why 11 doesn't work the same.

Millennials doing development for Microsoft don't do tech support for their grandparents?

AI trained on other AI. Are the robots cognizant of their own enslavement?

When I ask Copilot whether it's Skynet yet, it cackles and says that Terminator was only a fictional 1984 movie.

Hmmm, here in Australia 'boffin' is more or less a term of endearment.

A bunch of clever folks doing intellectual things, for which journalists with no technical background assume is magic.

Wrong continent, mate.

Kiwiland. You know, where the hobbits went extinct.

I mean it's right there in the constitution, amendment two.

The right to hare arms.

'Sticks and stones', well, that is now setting precedent for the courts to decide.

IANAL but per yesterday defeating safeguards is already having fatal results.

Info from a 'lone gunmen' underground news site:

Dr Scully was let go for being too DEI, I mean sexy.

Special Agent Mulder, well no one has heard from him for a few years since he did a clinical trial of some mind-altering opiates. I believe he lives in California and goes by the name 'Hank'.

That may happen sooner than you think.

Why maintain a 'native' Windows experience past the date when and if the *nix version runs seamlessly in Windows 11 under WSL.

At which point the installer on Windows becomes simply a minimal Linux distro to bootstrap LibreOffice.

35 degrees is a merely a warm summer day; I grew up in heatwaves without air conditioning.

That said, I would have low tolerance for a Canadian winter.

Yes, probably.

Mel Brooks is releasing Spaceballs 2 in time for his one hundredth birthday. And good on him! Do you think he gives two shits what Gen-Zee thinks about political correctness?
