Will always prefer Baskerville.

Dunning-Kruger ensures that there will be countless people who suddenly have a background in macroeconomics and public finance.

Windows11 anecdotally has some distinct glitches on systems that run multiples of certain types of pro audio devices. Because pro audio is the single application for which I use Windows, and in fact the only reason I've *ever* used Windows at all, this is of enormous concern for me. The only truly annoying thing I've noticed is that as a side-docker, I can't handle the fixed location of the taskbar. But as strictly a single application user I really don't want a desktop environment at all, just a host OS for my application and maybe a terminal console for file management and administration.

I've never run Windows for anything else real. Linux was either my 4th or 5th Unix, depending on whether Coherent counts. I went straight from the minicomputer world of the 80s to the Unixes of the 90s and was an early adopter of Linux, which works for absolutely everything I do except pro audio. I know Apple is a thing. I know Linux audio is a thing, I've had a hand in developing it. I don't even hate Windows, but I dislike forced platform changes.

Most don't use headphones at all with their cellphones.

Doesn't everyone just have a collection of apps you need and stick to those? I can't even remember when I bought an App. Even free apps only get downloaded when absolutely needed.

Indeed, that is why anyone with a clue wouldn't make important (hell, any... ) devices on a Cloud Service. I, and I hope nobody with a clue, wouldn't accept a firewall that is cloud dependent.

Mine beeps but also gives me an estimate for the time needed. That is useful. I just set an alert on my phone based on that time. Not hard.

Amazon Prime also allows you to download the content. (At least on a phone/tablet you can, I don't know for computers. Probably not.)

Because Google hordes all information comrades!

I am looking forward to Facebook's inevitable collapse. Think Twitter is fake and over valued? There is a reason why Sandberg has fled ahead of the prosecutors!

And trans. That's what Meta is all about!

He knows they aren't named META!

Now you will have to buy a loot box to open the game!

Actually the simplest counter is to not use Facebook at all. I don't. I don't use Twitter, or Instagram or the other Socialist BS.
