OR.. Hallucinates your one widget order and orders one MILLION widgets.... You KNOW its just a matter of time before it happens..

No kidding.. LibreOffice is the cats-meow!! I frequently interchange docs written with MSOffice and I have NEVER had a problem with LibreOffice handling the file correctly AND I've never had someone I exchange files with who STILL uses MSOffice tell me that the file was now screwed AND the last version of MSOffice I've ever used was the 2010 version. That was back when I still used MS products.. Since then I've been Linux and LibreOffice...

FORCING people to run unsigned, unvalidated, turing complete code on your browser is the source of MANY MANY problems..

And before the apologists chime in with "You're not being forced to run this code.." TRY viewing most any modern website with javascript turned off.. It aint pretty... So as far as I'm concerned, we ARE being forced to run potentially bogus code on the browser..

THIS is why anybody with any brains would NEVER EVER buy a new car with this bullshit in it. I'm 76 and my car is a 13 year old 2013 and I'll keep it running till I shuffle off mortality. Even if I had Musk's wealth, I'd STILL never buy one of these rolling tattle-tales...

Not that it would/could ever happen... But what if 90-95% of Meta's employees said F--K THIS and quit... I'd pay good money and grabbed a tub of popcorn to see the companies reaction if this were to happen. I'm so glad I'm retired and don't have to worry about finding a job in today's f-ed up world.

Having escaped from the Microsoft ecosystem some 15 years ago, after a 20+ year career of supporting MS products, I'm constantly astounded at how much abuse people who still use MS products will tolerate. Although, I have a funny feeling that the line has been crossed, with the current Windows 11 abuse of its users. I really feel sorry for those who, despite the abuse by MS, still use MS products, for whatever reason.

Actually I still have a couple of those, both the ISA and the later PCI versions. Hate to throw them out..

..Remove the amateur radio stuff. Believe me its still being used - A LOT.. I got off the Windows bandwagon nearly 15 years ago and have run various Linux distros since. Currently on KUbuntu 24.04, just waiting for the new 26.04 LTS to release and I'll upgrade my machines.

I suspect there's not too many still on an ISDN connection, what with cable and fiber connections everywhere.

Best Damn Description of Windows I've EVER HEARD!!!!!

As a 15 year Linux user, I consider Microsoft itself to be "for entertainment purposes only".. I'm a retired Windows admin, but after I retired in 2010, I switched my systems 100% to Linux, but.. to make a few bux on the side, I hold my nose, and support a few customers on Windows.. Since Windows 10 was assassinated last year, I've managed to move a growing number of clients over to KUbuntu. To show my distaste for the crap that IS Windows 11, I charge $25/hr, 2 hour min, on Linux, and if they're still on 11, its $175/hr, 2 hour min. Some of those who were going to stay on 11 have moved over to Linux.. Also I find the ones on Linux have FAR less need for ANY support, usually only for actual hardware failures/misconfigures.. Its damn sure a FACT that Windows 11 is the best advertisement for Linux..

I'd go so far as to say its malware, in and of itself.. Its always been a malware magnet, now its malware by itself.. Good job, Microsoft..

NO KIDDING!!
The statement
"..It knows everything about me. "
SHOULD have any normal human being screaming and running for the exits...

I'm not up on this AI thing, but having been involved with computers since the "Z80" days (that's the late 70s-early 80s for those who weren't alive then), the fact that AI can now, ON ITS OWN, create a post that insults, and finds out private info on a target person, SCARES THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME... I enjoy a good science fiction tale, and I've read enough of those that carry the idea of artificial intelligence to this level and I'd think it would be quite a few years in the future before AI would get to the point where a human turns it off, and the AI turns itself back on.. And I've read where this has already happened.. If THIS doesn't scare you, you might stop the mind altering drug you're taking and rejoin the REAL world... Just my .000001BTC..

People who are discussing something totally non-political and then want to bring Trump into the discussion are people who have VERY bad cases of TDS and need to be institutionalized ASAP.

GOOD LUCK in "taking the battery out" in pretty much ALL of the current crop of laptops. Guess that "command line" shutdown is your only choice in this case...
