On top of that Americans pay more healthcare related income taxes than anyone else! Those could well be used to cover the expenses of a socialized system. It’s absolutely amazing that people think they don’t need it.

This one’s nut even that bad. Gas ovens are proven to cause asthma. Someone believing those are actual lungs wouldn’t be that bad.
Well yeah that isn’t optimal but I doubt the PC will run any faster. If you were reaching thermal throttling temperatures with that paste you probably will hit them even after replacing the paste. Do you have a program like HWinfo that could monitor the temps and log if you’re hitting the throttle limit?
I saw an interview of a professional on this matter. Unfortunately I don’t remember his name but the points he made were thought provoking.
Today we consume more and faster media than ever, but few people ever spent all their time reading alone quietly or even watched TV focusing solely on the program. We listen to radio or a have conversation simultaneously. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors listened to each other’s stories while doing small tasks in their homes. Conversations between people flow and change subjects constantly. Almost like TikToks.
The point is that it’s nothing new that we engage in a combination of activities and like to surround ourselves with multiple or fast paced sources of information and stimulation.
My personal view is that TikToks being short or fast paced isn’t an issue. But there are other aspects that worry me. Social media videos cause many people to develop various degrees of parasocial relationships with the creators, and the content satisfies the need for actual relationships and can make real life and people seem boring.
Stick to Windows. Linux is fine for IT pros and as a hobby. For graphic design with Adobe I just don’t see your productivity would be the same.
Track 3 by Various Artists went hard 😤🤟
I love and consume lots of coffee but I sincerely believe it only tastes good because I associate the taste with the boost it gives. Exactly like cigarettes taste tolerable, good even, when you smoke them regularly.
Someone pointed out that Pro version still doesn’t require sign in. I’ve only dealt with Pro and didn’t know it’s different than Home in this thing. Sorry for being overly confident.
Ah I’m sorry I’ve installed Win11 on several computers but they’ve all been Pro version. I didn’t know that Home is different.
You fail to acknowledge that only a tiny fraction of PC users do anything resembling coding. The average user never ever needs a markdown editor or a C compiler.
Oh I never realised Apple OS naming moved past OSX. They don’t seem to use version numbers a lot in their marketing anyway.
Yep, if you can daily any linux distro but struggle to install Windows it’s an attitude issue. Windows 11 is arguably the most user friendly OS ever made.
Windows 11 doesn’t force you do any of that. Just skip the sign in. Your points were valid in 8/10 era but no more.
Of course there are other concerns but politics is the main one. There’s little reason to think for example Samsung, Instagram or even Steam are any more safer than the previously mentioned Chinese owned alternatives. They all collect, store and sell every bit of data they possibly can benefit from.
Tencent, a Chinese company is a major owner of Epic. Westerners simply hate Chinese owned tech due to political reasons. Huawei and especially TikTok are other examples.
It’s not made up, just hugely dependant on area and market. In Finland there just isn’t shops selling affordable decent quality office chairs. Less than $500 gets you a horrible seat where half of the price is markup, and Finnish made chairs cost anywhere from $800 to $4000.
Mine is an Arozzi Vernazza. Very similar to Secret Lab Omega 202, feature wise. Seems to share some parts too. Its lumbar pillow is a joke but I took it off and stuffed additional foam behind the backrest, worked wonders.
They do look horrible. I found a model that at least has sofa fabric, not polyurethane fake leather but still it’s a bit tacky. You don’t need lateral support on a damn desk chair. But unfortunately these chairs are great value, you can’t find office chairs with the same comfort features for that cheap. I paid $400 for my better than average gamer chair while an equal office chair is about $1200.
Sad to be honest. People are actively demanding the dismantle of welfare state here in the Nordics too. Arbeit macht frei and so on.
