  • i like not having to have a microsoft account to utilize it.

    you know whats really awesome? being able to decide if i want updates. or a tightly-integrated piece of shit llm.

    being able to modify literally every aspect of the shell.

    windows 3.1 was more theme-able than win11.

    linux works out of the box for all the old people i repurpose machines for and i dont have to think about cloud-connect bullshit. fuck, half of them dont notice its not windows until i mention it.

    better question is why the fuck would you use windows without being paid to?


  • im going to bet they just havent shifted their supply chains over yet. . i mean, i think it is happening but this shit takes a long time to fall out. it takes years to setup all the materials needed to create this stuff. it takes years to make substantial changes to them while they use up old stock, design new shit and then have to modify assemply a resource changes to get that stuff. and thats years before it hits your shelf.

    i think there also might be a ceiling to usbc… my thinkpad lappy has a 230w power supply. can usb-c do that?

    at some point (we may already be there) usbc components will be so ubiquitous where it matters in manufacturing regions that youll see literally everything under a certain voltage using it
