As a long-time Windows user, from 3.11 onwards, sometime Macbook owner and a Linux tinkerer on spare devices, Windows 11 is a step backwards in UI with all it's inconsistencies and forceful but poor implementation of new features. Linux, the distros I've tinkered with, seems to be more polished and consistent across the board.

Only reason I still use Windows is AAA games and MS SQL Server, which I prefer using SSMS to control.

Correct, the personal computer is not the entry point for computing anymore.

I bought the Orange Box years and years ago and to install this Steam launcher to play Counter-Strike, what a pain in the a$$. Stop playing, promptly forgot about it.

Years passed, and wanted to play something else that was on sale on this Steam thing that seemed familiar so reinstalled it. To my surprise, my old Orange Box games were still there.

That has led to an unhealthy 20 years of hoarding on-sale games like Smaug.

Thanks, gaben!

P.S. Sony is screwing their fans.

Something innately creepy about creating new content in perpetuity with a voice that no longer exists.

R&D is difficult and expensive which makes this "logic folding" more impressive. It might not have been a new idea but Huawei, against all the demonization against it over the last 10 years, is commercializing it and that's a huge achievement.

R&D is difficult and expensive which is why the US and Europe gives up on many cutting edge technologies and relies on the tried and true and discounting opportunities. This will be the end of their dominance.

Has your friend changed her mind about Trump or is now just blaming Biden for Trump having to these things that impacts her?

If you're still learning or giving opportunities to learn new things, stick it out. If you're stagnating and not allowed to learn new things, it's time to leave.

For the first 10 years or so, this is relevant. After that you can figure out what you really want to do.

I've argued the same for 30+ years. Having some slack is healthy so that teams can be simultaneously proactive and reactive to issues. Even the best athletes do not train or compete 24/7.

The West thinks that making things difficult ends with subservience, meanwhile the East just sees it as a challenge to solve.

It's not much of a mystery. It's pretty apparent what is happening.
