I've been using one for my media centre for many years, only swapping it out for newer versions for the performance upgrades. No issues here, and things like CEC are plug'n'play.

Am I crazy, or are we jumping from 4 to 5 whilst ignoring the fact that most of us still can't get hold of 4 due to the supply chain issues?

Apple is a very good example of how making user-hostile changes nets you money. Good point. > Windows 12 requiring a subscription is only stupid if making money is stupid Making money short-term at the price of making sustainable money l

In the short term, sure. Now half their user base again for the next release, and then again for the one after. The less people use it, the less software targets it, and the less people use it. If this really is their strategy, it's in

There's the "more than 50%" definition, sure, but doesn't "majority" in a political context always mean the party with the most votes? Anyway, okay I get where the confusion is. Just thought it was funny that t

Great. Thanks. I'll just go back to my country, since it's all gravy then. Arse-hats.

Seems more like random Palestinian and Hebrew centric obscenity. Maybe it _is_ anti-Semitic, but seems too weird and purposeless to me. I admit I might be missing something in this case, but it seems like anything involving ethnicity + rude

No, I don't think so. I'm the first to be down on American foreign policy, or just American culture in general, but this isn't the same things as terrorism. For one thing, it's the official state, not some randos.

I'd say it's much more like blaming you for American terrorist actions (interestingly, I can't think of examples). Obama is the president of the country.

This is troubling for more than the obvious reason: This age group has gotten so used to the way they treat people online, that they think it's just normal and acceptable — hence the real world transposition of online doxing.

For me it's less surprise and more disgust. Well okay, they did say as much, so I'll give them that, but their perpetual march of obsolescence isn't something we should shrug away.

Not here. I do have an intel CPU though, maybe it's different with an Apple CPU?
