Source of attention? By flying to another country and getting access to areas people never even knew? Lol wtf are you on about?

Well I say starlink and f’elon can suck my ass.

So I’m partially on board with you.

HOWEVER, windows 11 is dog shit. It’s been over 2 years and is still broken. Missing many features that are available in 10, some super basic shit.

Don’t even get me started on teams/teams classic/teams new, outlook classic/outlook new (also dog shit, dragged a folder inside a folder and it fucking vanished. Had to disable “new” to get it back). Fuck new outlook. I feel like Microsoft is fragmented with what they want to do and not going anywhere, so we’re here with half broken paid app$.

Coupled with the fact 11 is really pushing ai crap, won’t run legit on decent hardware, people are tired of having to buy a new computer every four years. I’m still running an 8th gen, spent $2k+ when I made it and other than being able to play newer games, it doesn’t feel like a thing changed under the hood. I upgrade as needed, added a little more ram and recently got a 3070 GPU, but there is zero reason to replace my machine. Even though 8th gen is the cut off for TPM requirements, my point still stands.

I have several 8th gen dells I used as servers, no reason to replace those for an ad riddled operating system.

Wanting to change and being forced to upgrade are completely different things and I see both sides, having people learn something new and forcing it for “reasons” is bullshit.

I’m already teaching mine to hide his tracks better, to only steal from companies if you have to and can get away with it, not neighbors or your avg person who worked hard for their stuff.
