I should have mentioned that I still love Linux though...

So where do those of us who don't think Windows is the literal worst OS ever fit into your analogy?

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Yeah Win11 will probably be a noticeable performance hit on that. Especially Explorer which they made dog slow when adding tabs and the new context menu.

The Office apps and browser will probably be about the same.

I'm running Windows 11 on a 12 year old X79 platform. Runs just fine.

But it was definitely top of the line in its day and 48GB of RAM keeps any system relatively snappy.

And then, even if they do pay out, they just jack up your rates to make it all back. That's if they don't just drop your coverage completely.

Then you apply the scientific method and/or research in search of truth.

My wife doesn't like it when I introduce her as my ex-girlfriend.

It only happens twice a year though.

You're not missing much. A few modern file types are zips with expected folder structures, especially MSOffice files. But this is nowhere near universally true.

You can open a file in your text editor of choice and if you see it start with PK (for Phil Katz the creator of the format and the original PKZIP/PKUNZIP programs) then it's probably a zip.

Also, by the logic of the OP, all DLLs are EXEs.

The FTC actions at least are because of Lina Khan and we better protect her. The billionaires are actively trying to get Kamala to drop her.

More specifically, they are all weather themed.

While private prisons are abhorrent and unconscionable, they aren't even close to the root cause of our prison problem. Hint: it's systemic racism and our militarized police culture.

Louisiana, the #1 on the list supposedly had 0 private prison inmates in 2021. Blaming private prisons at this point almost feels like deflecting from the real issues.

This was exactly my thought. Everyone up in here like she's gonna make Marge secretary of education.

Look man, this is just exhausting. I'm well aware of that security policy. I have enabled it at some of my clients. But it's not a default setting and would never be on a random non-enterprise PC. This is what I mean when I say the only people who are getting locked out this way were screwing with their computers in ways they don't understand, installing random garbage and following bad advice on the internet.

From your link:

If you set the value to 0, or leave blank, the computer or device will never be locked as a result of this policy setting.

I don't care what you think. I'm playing chess with a pigeon here. Test it yourself.

Edit: And sorry for being a jerk. Back to my original point, I'm pretty much fed up with the "technical" communities of Lemmy where correct information is downvote to oblivion and blatantly wrong information is lionized as absolute truth. And when I have tried to actually help and provide useful information I get met with the hordes of confidently incorrect people trying to discredit me.

That's the BitLocker PIN, not the OS PIN. Go away.
