    I’m back on Windows 11 for the first length of time in a while, after a hardware switch.

    It’s aggravating as hell with all the popups and embedded ads. My last update just straight up failed and had to revert.

    I also don’t get what Windows users are talking about when they say Linux is harder. Every time I have to change a minor setting in Windows, it feels like I’m picking through 20 years of legacy dialogs, and I never know which layer of legacy it’ll be buried in.

        I still remember paid macOS (I don’t care that’s anachronistic) updates but it’s just strange to see this posted in 2024 since the criticism no longer seems relevant without an explicit connection explaining its continued relevancy

      I can joke about a kafkaesque version of Mac that hides that after you put in your credit card info in, it defaults to subscribing to viruses as a service. You can disable the viruses, but you have to pay even more to the non viral version.

    I’ve heard people say that iPhone updates actually slow the phone down so you buy a new one. I wouldn’t be surprised but is that actually true or nah?
