The biggest reason is Steam would likely lose more money from doing that compared with removing the games the card companies are being assholes about.

The chosen one!

Windows 11 actually released 3.5 years ago!

Windows updates don’t work correctly a lot of the time if you’ve bypassed the requirements. My predecessor at work installed 11 on some ancient systems and it’s been a hassle.

I am so lucky to live near a Microcenter.

I have my own domain and pay for Zoho to host my email. It works well aside from the occasional site that refuses to accept my email as valid because it’s not a .com/org domain.

There are multiple different ways to connect your phone to your computer to send/receive text messages on your computer.

When has cognitive dissonance and being contradictory stopped the right wing in the US?

I had a rebranded clevo back in 2009. It worked great for a few years before the dedicated gpu died. It was a sleek design (especially for the time) too.

I wish!

I’m dealing with a fair bit of this because my predecessor had the brilliant idea to put windows 11 on unsupported hardware (which I’m actively working on getting replaced). Every time I think I’ve found the last stupid thing they did, I find more janky shit like that.

To Brother’s credit, this is also true for their windows drivers. As an IT admin, anytime I need a new printer they’re my preferred brand.

My parents are using a 3rd gen i7 and it works fine. My brother has a few computers, one is a 2nd gen intel, but I think he put Linux on that one. My home server was running on my 4th gen i7 until I upgraded it to my second gen Ryzen earlier this year after I upgraded my gaming.

There’s a setting Teams, under “Files and Links” where you can change it from Edge to Default Browser. Scummy that it works that way, but you can work around it at least (for now anyway).

I do, mostly because it gives a different menu if you click that vs the start menu (it shows recently open programs). If I’m searching I generally just hit the windows key and type, but if I’m slouched and reaching for the mouse only it can be helpful. It’s not like it takes up a lot of space, I’ve got an ultrawide at work and dual 2560x1440 monitors at home.

Same! I went from a 2700x to the 7800x3d. I’ll probably upgrade in 4-7 years depending on my financial situation and the specs for new hardware.

I’m burnt out and don’t want to do fun stuff anyway after 8, why not do 12 and have entire extra days of not burning myself out. I miss my 12 hour 3x weekly nights schedule, I’d go back to it in a heartbeat.

That’s because they are. Those are the people who are most likely to fall for phishing.

You actually need Zen+, the 1000 series Zen CPUs aren’t compatible but the 2000+ series are!

They still exist! Most of them are designed to be extra durable too, perfect for kids.
