Comment Pro Audio Devices (Score 1) 69
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.

You're saying that they shouldn't report on election results? Or are you wishing they would use some other source of information other than the actual election results?

I'm using Google Project Fi for my carrier, and they're identifying about 80-90% of robocalls correctly as SPAM. The phone still rings, but the phone's screen turns red and says "Suspected SPAM caller". They also give you an easy way to report calls as SPAM from within the phone app.
