I DEFINITELY know tree guys that would do this. Especially if it's oak, walnut, or some other decent wood.

Hell, even my neighbor (who is a retired tree guy) will regularly take down trees for me that he then uses for firewood. I just have to do clean up.

Windows 10 is the last version of Windows

I'll probably get down voted to oblivion, but I remember EVERYONE had the same "I'll never move" rhetoric with Windows 7, and before that Windows XP. Ya'll eventually move.

I've moved 3 of my 6 windows boxes from 10 to 11 and it's not that much different. I just debloat the stuff I don't want and move on. Even that isn't different, ya'll remember nlite? We've been ripping crap we didn't want out of the OS for as long as I can remember.

Hell, I even remeber getting doublespace.exe off my old dos 5 disks so I could use it on my dos 6 and Windows 3.1.1 install. People who use Windows are just more used to tearing down what they don't want rather than building up what they do (*nix). Is it harder these days...marginally...is there more to remove...yup. But it's still the same crap we've always done.

Why don't banks like root on Android?

Let's be real here. Folks running Linux as thier desktop have a high chance of knowing what they are actually doing. Folks with rooted android phones have a high chance of having watched a 12 year old tell them how to root thier phone on TicTok. Which of these groups is participating in the more risky activity?

Sony’s new PS5 update includes Dolby Atmos and the ability to mute the startup beep | You can now silence the PS5 beep sound and use a second controller to assist friends or family in games.

"...use a second controller to help friends in games."

I remeber playing Mario Kart in college and one of my buddies got his wireless controller from upstairs and put it on the same channel as mine. Everytime I went to take a corner or make a critical maneuver he would move the opposite direction and send me off a cliff or into a shell. He really did and excellent job of "helping" me.

Hopefully this will enable this sort of "helping" for people to make memories. (Clearly this has stuck with me for 20 years).

NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems 😁

*nix systems are not immune to needing reboots after updates. I work as an escalation engineer for an IT support firm and our support teams that do *nix updates without reboots have DEFINATELY been the cause of some hard to find issues. We'll often review environment changes first thing during an engagement only to fix the issue to find that it was from some update change 3 months ago where the team never rebooted to validate the new config was good. Not gonna argue that in general its more stable and usually requires less reboots, but its certainly not the answer to every Windows pitfall.

Haven't used windows in a while huh?

Edit: Just to clarify, I run ALOT of operating systems in my lab; RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu (several LTS flavors), TruNAS, Unraid, RancherOS, ESXi, Windows 2003 thru 2022, Windows 10, Windows 11.

My latest headless Steam box with Windows 11 based on a AMD 5600g basically reboots about as fast as I can retype my password in RDP.
