$300 for the most important piece of software on the hardware that you interact with every day, sometimes all day, for years? That's a steal.

And again, as an OS, Windows just works and Linux doesn't. Even if you wanted to set things manually in the registry to disable the bad consumer "features", you'd still spend less time than configuring a standard Linux install and it would be more stable.

It's like Apple fan bois nowadays. Ridiculous.

Or... Read what I said. Spend the $300 on the enterprise license. No ads. No forced notifications. A single computer with multiple users at one time in a home environment is not a use case that would get any thought. Those that want it, can do it. And it's easy, and free. Hyper-V is free and the licenses for the virtual machines are free too because the container host is windows. Lock an instance per output and voila. Recall won't be coming to enterprise or server and if it does, it will be disablable. Just like forced updates are disabled in enterprise. Forced reboots disabled. Etc.

If you want that experience you buy that experience.

No. It really isn't.

Windows with the proper license and configuration is more stable, more productive, and that configuration takes less than an hour once for the life of the machine.

In 2024 if you're still bashing Windows for BSODs, stability, updates, etc, you're doing it wrong. You can bash all day long for privacy violations and corporate greed but both of those are fixed with the proper version like Windows Enterprise. Costs more, but you are less of the product.

Rednecks fought for the right to shoot an intruder in your house. It doesn't matter if he was stupid or guilty. He shot someone breaking into his house with his legally acquired weapons while a completely innocent man.

If that's no longer allowed then let's make it law. Because now, it's just hypocrisy

You know how in the USA you're supposedly innocent until PROVEN guilty? Yeah well being shot to death in your own house while being innocent in accordance of the law says you have no rights at all.

He could have been guilty. We don't know. He was never tried. He was executed in cold blood as an innocent man.

Lower quality? Lol.

I'll give you a chance to look up the Mix Fold 3. And then any other equivalent phone available in the US market.

Even excluding the folding aspect, the screen sizes and overall thickness means it looks and works exactly like a non foldy. 50W wireless, 120W wired charging. 1TB of storage, 16GB of RAM. Leica lenses.

On top of that, zero of my data goes to the US government at it does on carrier branded phones. I will give all my data to the ccp if they want it. I have no interest in what they do with it. I have very high interest in what a five eyes nation does with my data and information.

Love the Chinese phones. None of this crap US stuff is enabled. It's baked into the system ROM so it is there. But on mine it has never transfered any data, not even ever been active. It's just dead code taking up a few megabytes.

The US constantly makes everything illegal, then picks and chooses what it wants to prosecute for whom and when. It means you're never safe. You can always be arrested or have your life ruined depending on the mood of the police, agents, and DA at various moments in time.

And these moods and choices vary greatly depending on your socioeconomic status and skin colour to name a couple things.

It's a disgusting practice. Write better laws if you don't mean it.

And cowardice bred from ignorance and stupidity. It's not even that dangerous of a job comparatively. And many including myself believe it would be even less dangerous if they stopped arming themselves like they're going to war.

Nothing to do with being fat. Some people have zero idea how a shower works. You need to put the liner IN the tub area and the decorative curtain outside the tub. Many people push them both outside the tub. Now all the water that splashes around hits the liner and drains right onto the floor and not into the tub.

The amount of water splashing makes no difference if you're big or small. Pressurized water hitting you is going to bounce all over. Since you're taking a shower, that's the goal.

If I had to guess, the curtain is wrong, he has no idea because nobody has ever told him and the bathroom is terribly non water tight so splashing will go down through the floor. Even tile is not waterproof nor is grout.

It's why I always specify a waterproof membrane and floor drain but it's not common in US/Canada yet.
