When you do go Win10, I recommend the Pro version, even for home use, because it gives a lot more control. It was a careful decision for me a few years ago, and I’m happy with it. Win10 caught a lot of flak, but almost all of that was aimed at the home/consumer version where you have no control over it. The Pro version is pretty good.
You’ll need a VM to run any old 16-bit software, but Virtualbox makes that easy enough.
That makes sense! But not to a cardiac surgeon I ran into at the FDA who ran his own artificial heart valve company (at the back of a Bed, Bath, and Beyond). The valves are required to undergo accelerated wear testing to simulate five years’ of use. He once changed the testing rate of the machines half way through the test. He violated all sorts of rules (his clean room was behind a shower curtain, which he probably got at the BB&B), and was finally shut down for contaminated water used to rinse his products. This surgeon was an utter asshole, who thought he knew everything about everything.
I can see that. Design-wise it at its peak IMO. Ever since Win8 we’ve been using Classic Shell to make it seem a little more more Win7-like. And lots of anti-malware software.
That’s really fairly unlikely. I am scarred by an episode that happened some years ago. I was using a Win10 laptop to show data at a presentation. It suddenly decided to shit all over itself and demand an update right now. The update could not be stopped and I was reduced to reading spreadsheets to my betters while Win10 was chatting with the Microsoft mothership in full view on the giant display monitor. I don’t mind looking foolish, but I hate looking stupid.
Really the only things I use that require Windows at this point are Scrivener and Delphi. And there are Linux workarounds for those. I will be partially retiring this summer so my use case will change significantly anyway.
That bit a lot of people. Automatic upgrades can be awful, though some consider them a necessary evil. To me, ‘added protection against malware’ isn’t a big selling point when it acts like malware itself. That’s why when I made the switch I made sure to get the Pro version and turn off all that stuff right away. But I can totally understand not wanting to deal with it after being burned like that.
Their privacy moves may also interfere with Gerrymandering.
I wish they’d take race off the census. Or would that cause more problems?
raw data for gerrymandering, per above
Likely they’d get the data through stacking the place with bad actors for leaks, like every other agency.
I shouldn’t be so cynical. Embargoing data used to be easy but now it’s easy to leak. There are other ways to deal with gerrymandering though.
So apparently, some nft-heads are angry that browsers still enable right clicks or command-clicks…
Okay, it looks like they were a kludge to try to make it easier to find who created an image, since (a) people often share images without listing the credits, and (b) companies sometimes merchandise off images without paying the creators.
I don’t know much about this game… I think it’s pƕþw…
PLS DON’T FUNGE THIS!
I can’t figure out quite where to put this, so here, because this is the Pick-Your-Fighter of our times:
Easy choice, really
I can’t figure this out, any suggestions?
