    Copilot or else! (for OEMs...eventually)

    I never use the Windows key so I've disabled it with SharpKeys.

    That was done years ago. I do remap the same keys under Linux!.

    HP wants more of your money

    I switch to Canon inkjet printers that used dye inks as opposed to pigment inks. Pigment ink cartridges always seemed to clog for me if I didn't print a lot. After switching to dye based printers I didn't have the same clogging problem. The issue with dye inks is that they usually fade faster...

    I think inkjet cartridges have had DRM longer ago than that.

    Windows 10 update KB5034441 is still broken, more than a month after release

    Yep, I came across this problem and their manual fix did work for me. I'd think you could fix it with a bootable third party partition manager.

    Two years after launch Windows 11 adoption is still waaaay behind Windows 10

    I switched to Affinity Photo when Adobe went to the subscription model. At the time it was on sale and at $25 it was an easy purchase. It really does every thing I need (photo editing). I just don't like Gimp's UI.

    Um, I don't have to sign into a Microsoft account to run Windows 11. Maybe because I did an upgrade as opposed to a clean install? Don't know.

    [Rumor] Windows 12 to arrive in fall 2024 with a floating taskbar and a focus on AI

    Yep, that's what I do. I've got a motherboard that allows multiple graphics cards so I've allocated 1 card for the Windows VM and the other card for Linux. It works very well. GPU passthrough works great with KVM/QEMU/libvirt handling the VM.

    ExplorerPatcher basically brings back the old style taskbar. I've been using it for months and have had no problems with it.

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    Nope, I just wanted to build my own computer. After looking at the 6502 used in the Apple II, the 8080 in the Imsai, and the Zilog z80, I decided on building an s100 bus system with the z80. I ended up wire wrapping most of the cards. Was quite fun.

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    No thank you. There's nothing that this does that makes me want to purchase it, even if it was in the couple hundred dollar range. Also, I've pretty much avoided Apple products since their start. (yes I'm that old!).

    Copilot or else! (for OEMs...eventually)

    I already did (a few months after Win 8.0 was introduced). I still have a Windows VM though.

    Eh, I already remap 3 keys on my key board so what's one more.

    Eh, I was bored with it by the third episode so I stopped watching it.
