As most people suggest, I’d also recommend going with Windows 11 for this use case, but with the caveat that you should get a Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC license if you can find it.

It’s the best version of the OS. It only pushes security updates, no new features ( this means xbox and candy crush won’t magically show up in your start menu after major updates) and it comes with all the AI and Microsoft Store stuff stripped out.

Theoretically, this OS was designed for things like kiosk computers and control systems that need to maintain a stable environment, but it can do everything the pro version does with no hassle.

The downside is that it’s hard to find. Microsoft won’t sell it outside of volume license keys under enterprise agreements, but it is available through grey-market key sellers, and can be activated using the MAS if the high seas are an option.

If you have ice cream, I will give it to you.

If you have no ice cream, I will take it away from you.

This is an Ice Cream Koan.

The game’s narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months

I really don’t trust executives to be the arbiters of what is considered good narrative. I hope they didn’t just kneecap the writing because it wouldn’t appeal to as many people as possible.

This is Dunning Kruger in effect. You actually know way more than you think because you’re more aware of what you don’t know than a total beginner.

Also, as far as wanting to switch back goes, That’s a path of least resistance. For a multitude of reasons, stock Windows is simply easier to use than Linux for most people. Especially if you’re already used to Windows’ workflows and its particular quirks. And somewhat ironically, Linux is harder to adapt to if you’re a power user. Power users tend to use their PC for more things than a basic user does, and therefore need to configure more things to work properly.

By the way, I’m not throwing shade towards Canada specifically.

Please throw shade towards us. Our lack of action here was largely because we wanted to stay on good terms with the US, who made their position abundantly clear.

Our government calculated that there would be harm done to our country if the US decided to twist some economic screws. But then Trump was elected and it happened anyway and we look like patsies.

I would seriously doubt it, not because it’s impossible, but because it’s massively impractical.

It turns out that wireless charging is shockingly inefficient. The antennas you would need are way bigger than you could carry practically, and the amount of power you receive is very tiny compared to the amount of voltage you’re pushing through.

A YouTuber I like actually built a setup like this in a recent video.

Isn’t this basically what TOR and I2P are for?

This asshole has learned to claw at my back through the chair when he wants attention and it startles me every time.

Gendered bathrooms have always been stupid. Everybody poops, everybody pees, it’s good enough to just have a room where everyone can do that.

That’s already a thing

I think brainslugs are bad, actually.

Absolutely, thats something you get with population centers, but I think they’re farther right politically than most major US citites.

Miami, maybe. But I think they’re still pretty left in comparison to the Rest of Florida

This is the thing that old people get where they think that every issue works both ways. They care about Trump so they assume we have the same opinions about the liberal elites like Clinton or Biden, or Obama.

This is also where the “Father, I cannot click the book” comes from. They can’t find reliable info online and think that kids cant find reliable info from books.

This has been true for 15 years, but video game execs don’t care about the game itself, they only care about the money it makes

Almost certainly no. This is the gateway for “the algorithm” to start recommending pop science and science communicators, and from there, a seed will sprout for people to get interested in “real science”

The jar with the stern chinese woman on the label contains wonders.

A crate full of microSD cards shipped as cargo could deliver speeds like this with a ping time measured in hours

Me too, although I also switched instances from lemm.ee to lemmy.ca when they shut down

Satisfactory was a phenomenal video game that you guys can play together. Not quite like Minecraft, but similar.
