      I always keep a short length of single mode fiber optic cable with me when I’m hiking. If I get lost, I just bury it, and it less than an hour some idiot will show up in a backhoe and accidentally cut it in half.

    I’m sorry everyone… but I’ll choose Windows 11… I just can’t leave without an AI assistant in my computer. I mean, yeah, I can always just open ChatGPT on a browser… but that just… isn’t the same. Also that Recall thing is great, I love these automatic screenshots that are totally not sent to Microsoft. This thing is extremely convenient, because pressing the Print Screen key is too hard for me. Lastly, I paid for the whole computer, I want my OS to use all the resources it can. Fuck you, Linux and Windows 7 evangelists! Your OS is clearly not superior.

    (guess i made it clear that i haven’t used windows in a while lol)

    I worked for msft. I evangelized Windows, even through 8, I found the silver lining. 11 can die in a fire.

    No one seems to be considering that only Windows 11 lets you run Linux as a subsystem.

    Grew up on windows 7. It was all I needed and was perfect. I don’t need anything else. I didn’t even want 10 but 10 is…ok I guess. I def don’t want 11 though.

      I don’t know about you, but my Outlook on survival while being an Explorer would definitely rise. I’d say I would Excell at the task at hand if I’d be pushed to the Edge like that, mark my Word!
