Yes - that's the point. I needed to run Windows 11 because I use Windows specific apps. I also have 2 personal macbooks, have an employer provided macbook for my professional job and will probably install some version of Linux on the old system and maybe turn it into a NAS of some sort.

But then that wasn't the point of your reply was it? Because in your rush to play whataboustism and score some internet karma you seemed to have missed the last line of my post - "just so Microsoft, which had declared Windows 10 would be the last Windows ever, could sell a buncha new licenses for forced obsolescence."

That was THE point. I'm well aware of Apple's built-in obsolescence and hate it which is why I still gave the nod to Windows because I USED TO BE ABLE TO RUN NEW WINDOWS VERSIONS ON OLDER HARDWARE. But not anymore because MS has now added forced obsolescence.

uh-huh, behind my desk is an intel computer I built myself 10 years ago - Rampage V edition 10, Intel i7-6950X EXTREME (it runs fast because it has EXTREME in the name...also ran fantastically hot but that was another issue...) quad channel DDR4 that was overclocked and an MSI NVIDIA GTX 790. It STILL runs like a champ and I could do about 80% of what I needed it to including coding, photo and video editing and mid level gaming and all around home server.

And what I thought would be my last build... wasn't... because I was forced to update because... get this... while I could get a TPM module for the motherboard - the CPU ISN'T SUPPORTED.

So this year I forked over a ton of cash and built a whole new rig just so Microsoft, which had declared Windows 10 would be the last Windows ever, could sell a buncha new licenses for forced obsolescence.

...and thanks for all the fish.

Yes - but I don't consider this "social media" as used in the vernacular as I'm not posting my foodie pics here... nor am I seeing any posts about travel pics, dogs and cats, etc;

Now sure, there is the same inane "the world as I see it" type discussions here but that's to be expected in a "discussion forum"!

Most of the restaurants I go to don't even serve alcohol. Of course, I live in Utah, which is at the very bottom of the alcohol consumption per capita chart. Here restaurants all have normal fountain drinks, water, and then a wide array of specialty drinks, many of which are just normal sodas with some stuff added in.

Being a restaurant owner is hard. The margins on most food is slim. The margins on drinks (alcoholic or not), on the other hand, are ridiculous. There's a reason why sit down restaurants start you with something to drink, and why fast food places bundle sodas. To a very real extent these businesses make their money upselling you from drinking plain water.

Precisely. This is going to be used against the owners of the hardware, not for them. I suspect that these containers are very secure. It's just too bad that my phone is the one device that I own where I do not have root access. This security is not going to be used to protect my data from Google, but to protect Google's data from me.

Hooray!

"If Linus yells at you to stop doing something, you damn well listen, or move aside for someone else who will listen."

What if he's wrong on something?

I mean the dude is 55, mentally he's not going to be able to keep up with the really abstract stuff.

I've flown on Spirit many times and every bad thing you've heard about it is true.

Thatâ(TM)s not the only reason; the other two big ones are:

1. There is far greater parity between Windows and Linux in terms of stability and security over the past 15 years or so.
2. Linux has never had the software range MS
has had, and the best Linux software is also on MS plus a lot more.

I am very confused; don't movie studios use artificially generated characters frequently for special effects? Isn't it almost certain that especially over the past few years they've used AI to do that? How would this be something new?

I had this feature turned on for a few months with the older iOS' and it worked great... until I got onto a waitlist at a restaurant and then "never" got the text telling my table was ready. There was no notification indication at all which normally is what I would've wanted.

AI filterting would be great for that sort of stuff but then the spammers would immediately jump on that "Your table is ready! respond to me about your inheritance is Uganda!"

"According to the video, officials are not required to disclose what exactly the charges are or who has brought them until the initial investigation is complete under Italian law. "

Then why does the title say he's being charged for reviewing games?

Actually, it might be quite sensible to have some sort of interlock that causes the fuel switch to be locked in the RUN position while the power lever for that engine is at the full thrust position. Then needing to turn fuel off due to a "Fire" situation becomes a training procedure issue. i.e. In case of engine fire, step 1. Identify which engine is on fire. Step 2. Pull Power Lever back to idle. Step 3. Fuel switch to "Off". I can't think of a good reason why you would want to keep the power lever forward when you were about to turn off the fuel anyway...
