A few rounds of discgolf!

He looks like the neighbour from that 70’s show to me…

Sir Patrick Stewart on Extras. Making women’s clothes fall off…

A simple PC, you can also use it to browse, download stuff, Steam stream etc. The possibilities are endless

I’m on the lookout for Shokz but how is your experience with the headband and a higher collar? I usually have a collared shirt in the winter to keep me warm.

My 15 year old Sony TV with a PC attached to it wil quickly lose and regain signal as soon as I start some streaming sites for the first time. It only happens once every boot. Pc has been replaced a few times. Prolly a DRM thing.

My Pixel 4a thinks I double press the power button every time I press it. So instead of locking the phone I shove it in my pocket with the camera on and the phone unlocked.

So you think that what you have described above is something all Windows 10 users deal with?

For all it’s shortcomings this sounds more of something on your end and also something quirky that you will any OS really…

In this context an unsupported cpu would be an i7 7700K for example. Hardly e-waste and can perform quite well…

Cracking encryption gets easier over time. This is a timebomb.

Kinda disagree here, my parents also won’t install Windows or any other OS by themselves. An average person isn’t going to switch to an alternate OS. Because they do not care.

An average person however IS going to want that specific Windows only mail client, legacy applications that don’t run on Linux or use their bank website that isn’t supported by Linux.

This is a one way ticket to making yourself the sole family sysadmin.

Unlike?

IT Crowd for me

Then again, rebuying all your games and paying way too much for them is something to take into account. But admittedly, the PS5’s thing where you can play some PS4 games is pretty neat.

Can you name them for me because I can’t seem to find them for sale in Europe. Apart from Axis.

It’s not about performance but compatibility. Such as certain anti-cheat software in online games.

If you have duplicate shortcuts you probably have the same OneDrive account on multiple computers. Put them on your public desktop in stead of your own OneDrive backed up desktop.

My cat, why the hell he sleeps quietly until my girlfriend goes to bed and right after that he gets the zoomies…

Sorry but I hate this argument. Most people use a phone for that anyway. And my 70 year old mom is going to ask my dad and if he can’t fix the problem someone else and guess what. They never worked with Linux. I can tell you that a lot of the buttons and controls have looked the same in Windows for way too long. Admittedly from Windows 10/11 this gets worse.

Also they will need software from the local photo place, some shit old legacy app that they refuse to let go, banking software that isn’t Linux compatible… it’s never “just browsing” from my experience and it’s not worth the hassle. Especially if I’m cornering myself by becoming the only 24/7 on-call admin for my family.
