They will be putting it back up soon, after they make sure there is no Gaza in its view.

Microsoft is wary of its professional market and there is already lots of features that can be "managed by your administrator" in the Enterprise edition. Admins can even force your desktop background and theme colors to a painful lime green if they want.

It's a closed-source operating system witth a very intrusive EULA so it's hard to tell what is actually happening in the background. The FBI could probably get any user's local file tree, I assume, regardless of "settings". Your solution is the best, it certainly beats using the computer 100% offline.

My first attempt at reading this: Microsoft announces recall of Windows 11
That would have been great. The very few good things 11 brought (tabbed terminal, text editor and file browser) have all been standard in major Linux distros for decades.
Not counting service packs, the first OS Microsoft "recalled" was Windows 8, where everyone got a free upgrade to a slightly less shitty 8.1, and then 10, which was also a minor upgrade. It would be very funny if they reversed course and showed people an intrusive popup with "Sorry, you are using the newest version of Windows, which will no longer getting updates. You are now able to return to Windows 10 which we can comfortably continue updating without feeling guilty. You can keep working, the operation will happen in the background. We will tell you when it's time to restart."
It would have made sense, the share of 11 among Windows actually users shrank in the past quarter despite it being the default option for prebuilt PCs.

Word 365 once crashed for my sister and she lost a day's worth of work. It had made some autosaves while she was working but they were nowhere to be found after the crash, not even with advanced recovery tools. Instead of making more stable software, Micro$oft decided to integrate OneDrive into Office, recording every action while editing documents, and now also in the entire system. A very typical 2020's big tech move, unfortunately.
Plot twist: he already has one but stays quiet about it, because the result is apparently bad
It gets punished for repetition so it rolls over eventually for the following output:

Some HV power lines do seem to vibrate; there is indeed audiible hum.
How? Mutual feather combing? The voltage has no effect here.
...The voltage in respect to another bird, just 5 meters away, swinging between -200000 V and +200000 V, 100 times per second, and you don't even know it.
Anyone else getting Junji Ito's Tomie vibes?
Not only could this similar-looking lady straight up play her in a movie, there is a chapter featuring a carpet soaked with Tomie's blood, from which hundreds of tiny bodies later emerge.
The Czech government has always had Israel bootlickers. It's not hard to imagine why they're the most vocal apologetics for the massacre.
Anyway, thankfully common Czechs showed a bit of reason for a change and don't care about the issue while being very supportive and accomodating (most per capita) to Ukrainian refugees.

It's not by me; Nayuki is a very cool person. She made a cool PNG chunk analyzer on her website too, and has some interesting blog posts.
As for the length: Well, I don't actually mind some of the featured items but I find at least 3 particularly annoying.
The recommendations seemed favorable when I tried it. I have since switched to Mint.
Pixar lamp. Enough said.
Disney pays costumed actors, who need to follow draconian rules for long periods in the Florida sun to keep the Disney product working, little more than janitors. They apparently justify that by "you won the audition, fulfilling your inner child's dream is enough for a prize". Sadly, they are the only company offering "Official _That Notorious Princess_™ Actor" jobs and their IP and marketing giving an aura of prestige to the position causes the demand to stay high, so they can argue that it is the fair market price.
I hope the conditions improve now that every Mickey, Goofy and Donald can threaten to take their mask off and hold a "STOP TREATING US LIKE ANIMALS" sign while walking out of the park.
Even basic things in distros are quite different, for example the frontend for settings, so tech support threads will show how to do it in the backend. Oh well, but then there's someone who suggests
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
If you're a noob, run this and get a "nano: command not found" error, you'll google it and learn to resolve it using apt. However, Manjaro's package manager is pacman but you don't know, so you install apt using a weird guide without knowing what it even is. The next update then wreaks havoc on your system.
My first install ended in a dependency hell because of this.

I think they do make some kind of edutainment but not like this. Point-and-click adventures were relatively easy to integrate some education into but the kid needs the time and patience to find a solution when they inevitably get stuck (perhaps with hints but not walkthroughs). Their attention span is too short nowadays because content comes more often than on 1 CD-ROM per month for the delayed gratification of exploration and puzzle-solving to work.
You've never used function keys? The dual function is annoying even inside the OS. I have to help several people with laptops and you can't tell what mode they're in, the user often doesn't know either.
On laptops, you never know if the F-key behavior is defined by the OS, BIOS or keyboard driver. I just mash F2, F8, Fn+F2, Fn+F8, Del as often as I can (these are the most common keys to do the trick). You can reduce the options with a USB keyboard with just normal F-keys.
Some laptops don't have a key you can hold to enter BIOS settings or boot menu (maybe to start booting before the keyboard is initialized?) and there is a reset button hole for that.
