I know that there have been compatibility issues before, but it is worth mentioning that the current version of 11 LTSC was from november-ish last year so it is fairly up to date. I am running it on 3 different gaming devices and have had z

I mentioned it in the other comment, but check out WindowsLTSC subreddit. While it is not "legitimate", it is also not hard at all to do if you already know how to take an ISO and install Windows in the first place. It doesnt requ

Microsoft makes it hard (impossible) because they don't want normal users using LTSC. They try very hard in their marketing to make it seem like LTSC is not good for general purpose computing since it removes many of the features they

I know I have said this many times, but if you need Windows just use Windows 11 LTSC. It lacks almost all of the bulk and crap that Microsoft is trying to shove into Windows. And the things that are missing if you really need them are easy

So I will first emphasize, try to avoid a "diet" and feeling the need to eliminate anything. Unless you just really struggle with impulse control and you need those guard rails, for me the only way that I managed to loose about 45

How exactly are they unsanity disasters? I would much rather use a urinal and never need to touch anything (besides myself, which unless I myself am unsanitary that should be clean) than need to either sit down and make contact with a surfa

I think there is a very big difference between those when personal safety is considered. It is the same as asking if you have a preference when you get a massage or go to the doctor since those are more intimate and likely involving a lack

There are clearly carveouts for this that are not views as discrimination by the vast majority of people. When I have gotten a massage or gone to the doctor (and not seen my regular) I have been asked if I would prefer to be with a male or

Out of curiosity, why would a combined bathroom require removing urinals? They could still exist, and have the added benefit of anyone regardless of their presenting gender being able to use them.

While I can kinda buy the argument for why men may want to do this, it is also complicated and how far do we go. (saying this as a guy for the record) Is it that you are either free for all or you can limit to your own sex or a sex of your

I looked at the numbers for this for my personal devices: - My iPhone is currently covered by apple care with the upgrade program but it does not have loss or theft, which would be an additional $4.16 a month (normally $10 a month) - My Mac

I have thought many times about what I would be doing with my life if money was no object. If I just had "everything" I needed. For me the reality is, I would still want to be doing something. I would be more picky about what I wo

That is not true, unless you are referring to devices outside of the iPad and iPhone (which even that I can't find evidence of)? Those went usb-c at the same time globally (by model)

Right, that is the problem. That word (rightly so) carries a lot of weight. But instead it has turned into a word that is used to try to shut down any criticism. Things get labeled as such, schools and others have a zero acceptance policy a

Care to tell me how what I said is not true? I can say and criticize a lot of crap about my government without worrying about being kicked out of school or anything like that. The most I may be called is "unpatriotic" but I think

I can't find the exact saying now, but my favorite are the ones that are basically... "Will fight for your rights until your born and then just completely abandon you" (not the exact phrasing I remember seeing)

The thing about this that bothers me the most (ok maybe not the most... but its troubling), we have gotten to a point that we are more free to criticize our own government than a foreign government (unless it is about this topic). Like, how

Were they though? At least when you are forced to be in school you are in an environment to likely absorb... something. We regularly kept up with current events in school. I know many adults that have basically zero idea what is going on in

We can try to argue all day along about whether or not someone 16 actually knows enough about what is going on to vote. But that completely falls apart when you can talk to many adults and they don't know either (see reactions to US el

Right, I am normally very quick to criticize google with their "privacy" tactics and have largely cut google out of my life... But this seems... right? and long overdue. If they can't look at your data they can't do thes

> It was just an analogy. My point is still that if you get 1 million nerds using Linux in 2006, and even if they remain 1 million as the whole market dies in 2028, that doesn't say much more about Linux than it did in 2006 when onl

The article is specifically claiming a shift and growth. But if all that really changed was an increase in percentage due to less devices overall there really isnt much of a shift or growth. I think there is likely an argument that the peop

It is an interesting distinction, unlike Android I do admit that SteamOS is obviously contributing to Linux Desktop market share. I just think it is a complicated situation. From my understanding Xbox is running a version of Windows on thei

by nerdjon 1y ago
Admittedly yeah SteamOS does walk that line, and I guess technically given that I think these numbers are based on browser data it would only be capturing the people that actually go into desktop mode (maybe?). But, I think there is a conve

I have to wonder how much of this is people switching to Linux vs the larger trend of people not having traditional computers to begin with. Outside of gamers, I don't know anyone that has a computer at home that is not their work lapt

I get where you are going and I do agree with you, but I think there is some validity to still calling it an echo chamber. For example, I live in Boston and very liberal. I did not grow up in this area though, and I have noticed that among

I would say what you are describing is also not blind loyalty. But there are very much people who do have blind loyalty. I agree on not hating them just because they want to make money, but there are people that seem to act like Valve is th

That and the reminder emails from Apple. It is one reason that with this switch allowing apps to send me outside of Apple's Ecosystem to subscribe, I hope that developers realize that if they make this the only option there are likely
