Nah, Windows XP and 7 get a pass. These were solid consumer OS's.

You go back 30 years and you're at Windows 95 (holy shit) and the beginning of massive home PC adoption.

I don't feel they got hostile towards users until probably midway through Windows 10 lifecycle. The first half wasn't that bad, aside from changing up 20+ years of muscle-memory....but Gnome did that, too.

Having someone to complain to/point fingers at/sue is incredibly important in the business world, and a big part of why M$ is so big.

In fact, just having support is a big thing. Look at how shitty M$ support is. Or Cisco, for that matter.

Not to mention a steady, predictable, accountable release cadence.

If you want that, in the Linux world, it's basically Ubuntu/Canonical, RedHat/IBM, or Oracle/Oracle.

I'd call Canonical the lessest of 3 evils here...

I do not recognize this photo. Is that ~~Barty Crouch Jr.~~ Mad-Eye Moody?

Wait, is "25" CIA-speak for "86"?

Or am I reading too far into it because I just finished 11.22.63 last night (the show, not the book)?

How old are your girls?

Mine are just turning two and it's my first flock...I'd gotten some soft-shell eggs lately (which are surprisingly durable), but that's about it.

Can you blame them? Have you seen how much RedHat charges for Tower???

Game respects game. They can spot a poser a mile away.

Probably among the most impressive of which being the long-range optical data link (O2O), capable of a whopping 260Mbps.

While that doesn't sound like much, it's still 100x the speed we'd get from prior radio technology. Having 2.5+ seconds of round-trip latency really puts a damper on things...at least until we can get past that pesky speed of light thing.

Do they accept Walmart gift cards?

Every time I do, it makes me laugh.

I really want to convert my pixel but I'm so damn lazy.

Mostly worried about losing TOTP apps and configurations. I really should be backing those up.

This is why my chickens terrify me. They used to be 25 feet tall, just a handful of dozens of million years ago.

Fucking murder machines.
