There’s always wannabes.

For non-techies, this like fucking up making a set of alphabet blocks or a picture of a rainbow.

This is the way now…

Some lucky manager just found his bottom 5% for the force ranked annual review. /s

Seriously, if you’ve ever managed in large corporation, you’ll understand this.

I use both Windows and Ubuntu/Mint for personal use, WSL for personal dev environment (because MS SQL Server on Docker limits what I do), Ubuntu/Redhat for dev/test/prod environments.

I like Linux but it can be a hassle with little things so Windows.

Thought about that but some newer storage and network connections may not be supported.

Hey Satya, just give us Win10 back and fuck off, you bald fraud.

And that’s not going to stop them from suing

Visio is a Microsoft product name.

Visio? Don’t they have to pay for copyright on the name “Visio” to Microsoft?

Another Musk business model that’ll die… But not before he grifts stupid shareholders…

Edge is built on Chromium

Civilian bills increase while corporate discounts abound? Ya’ll need to fuck someone up with the 2A.

I’m more impressed that the same hardware ran so many versions of Windows.

if you’ve got a 10-year-old Apple laptop, it’s harder to use normally than a 10-year-old Windows laptop.

Also, don’t use the Apple store for software on your laptop. Use a reasonable package manager like homebrew that doesn’t have the problems you describe. Or go find a mirror that hosts old MacOS packages and install it yourself.

Agree with both and able to do so cause I’m an IT professional and wo ked on all 4 major OSes in my past.

However, having to use an external package manager undercuts the advertising that they’re just plug and play.

Ever update an app and then be told that you need to update MacOS cause the new version need the latest MacOS? So you try to update MacOS but can’t cause your MBP can’t run the latest version. That’s okay, let’s go back to the older version of the app. Oh wait, now you can’t cause that version is no longer in the Apple Store. So you can’t update the app, can’t update MacOS and you can’t reinstall the older app version, which you may have paid for.

Apple’s enshittification was baked-in and normalised a long time ago. The rate it gets worse is slower compared to Win 11 in 2025 but the MacOS level of enshittification is already pretty fucking high.

Great for you. The motherboard on my 2011 MBP died after 5 years and then again after 5 years after the replacing it the first time. Decided to junk it then cause even if I placed the mobo, couldn’t install the latest OS or the latest software.

Time for Nadella to take responsibility for these fuck ups and resign already.

Civilization? Nah just the collapse of one empire. The rest of the world goes on.

All they have to do is to make it good enough and cheap enough to commodotize the product which will flood the market and push the most advanced but expensive tech to the side.
