but is too stupidly arrogant to realize the tech really isn’t there yet.

Just use AI lol

I laugh, but that’ll probably come next …

Same! I saw the title and thought, “wtf happened to PNG?!?!”

I meant to download from the official Microsoft site.

Kudos on getting your mum on Linux! I was unable to keep mine on it : /

Maybe I’m missing something, but this is from the “Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO) for x64 devices” section from the official Microsoft site, but I don’t see any option to buy or mention of it:

Before you begin downloading an ISO Make sure you have:

• An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
• Sufficient data storage available on the computer, USB, or external drive you are downloading the .iso file to.
• A blank DVD disc with at least 8GB (and DVD burner) to create a bootable disc. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will be deleted during installation.
• If you receive a “disc image file is too large” message while attempting to burn a DVD bootable disc from an ISO file, consider using a higher capacity Dual Layer DVD.

Download the iso and install home. It won’t stop you, ask for a key, or attempt to activate later. It just installs, runs, and spies happily.

But, yes, I suppose that you’re supposed to pay for it, but they don’t seem to care that much, if at all.

I agree that Windows Pro is a slightly better experience than Windows Home, but the right Linux distro for you is where it’s at. I usually recommend Mint for newcomers, and not one has had issues (beyond the expected “this looks different” comments). I’ve installed Elementary for one person who came from a life of Mac, and she dove right in with almost no hiccups. Know your audience, I guess is the lesson here lol

If we want to get even more pedantic (which I thoroughly enjoy lol), we can even point out that Nixon used the phrase “last version of windows” to mean the “latest version” or “the last version to have been released to date”.

This is in a similar grammatical sense as staying “last week” or “last Wednesday”. Last week wasn’t the last week to have ever existed. Last Wednesday wasn’t the last Wednesday to have ever existed, either. And windows 10 wasn’t the last windows version to ever be released… it was just the latest (or, “last”) version as of the time Nixon said it.

What’s the conversion ratio of Microsoft Points to Schrute Bucks?

Once enabled as your PC’s backup solution provider from the settings miniapp, it will backup the data on the PC. So, you can’t only enable it.

Windows Homs is free, too.

But here’s the thing that many people (not you) don’t understand. Windows Home is free, as in beer. Linux is free, as in speech, AND free, as in beer.

I didn’t realize they provide security update to Fedora lol

They’re scramble hard right now.

Say it with me, now: chatgpt is not a doctor.

Now, louder for the morons in the back. Altman! Are you listening?!

Wood is dead. So, it’s like wood, but imagine if that wood was alive!

Ok. Good feedback. What can I do different?

we’re at war with eastasia. We’ve always been at war with eastasia.

Really has “trust me bro” energy.

How many lemmings do you know that actually read the full articles? If an article interests me enough to read it, I usually try to summarize it in the comments, and, yes, point out its flaws.

100% lol

Why are they called unwomen?

Edit: ffs. I need to get off the phone and drink my coffee. United Nations Women. Third shift is killing me.

Ah ok. Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks, mate!

If it’s Veritasium, I would just recommend watching. End of sentence. This bloke is amazing.

What’s a “hydrophobic coating” in relation to foods?

I don’t use plastic to heat anything up. I may buy microwavable foods, but then scrape them into a metallic or class container and heat them in the oven (that’s more out of necessity, as I don’t have a microwave oven). And I don’t like popped corn (though I kind of wish I did).

Do you think I was being sarcastic? I was serious. That burn was awesome and it legitimately made me laugh lol
