Dear Linux users: Moving to Linux isn’t always the magical solution to fixing someone’s problems. Sometimes someone has to stay on windows because their proprietary software does not work on Linux. Before you just say “just use Linux lol” maybe stop for 3 microseconds and think about their needs.
This, to be honest.

Has any Change dot org petition really gone through?
But in seriousness, if Microsoft were to revive the Windows Mobile/Phone platform with the Windows 11 codebase, there would be a lot more complaints such as forced A.I. and many other things.
Windows Phone would die again. 🪦

The Android 5.0 era, early material days where the icons actually looked like paper, was peak. Now they've lost all character.

It's no longer possible to activate Windows and any Microsoft product over the phone anymore.
Attempting to call the phone number for Microsoft Product Activation will have an automated voice saying visit the web address for the website (aka.ms/aoh) to do it online.

The best feature of macOS Tahoe (and iOS/iPadOS 26) isn't Liquid Glass, it's the ability to still have all of the Apple Intelligence features toggled off with a simple switch after updates and not nag you about it ever again.
Redmond... it's time to update your copier machines.

New video! Back in 2010, ASUS launched the Eee Keyboard PC - an entire computer housed in a keyboard, screen included! It's one of the strangest computer designs that I've seen in a while, and today we're gonna mess around with it.
