In my company we already use a standardised Windows 11 Enterprise image, so the Windows 11 Pro licences that come with most PCs are of absolutely no use to us (apart from when we resell them, and even then you can get OEM keys legally for a couple of Euros so they’re not worth much).

I’d rather keep my Pacer thanks

Linus better be watching it, or I’m switching to TempleOS

What Linux distro is gonna do that?

I guess Chromebooks, kinda?

As far as I know only Lenovo is offering to omit the Windows licence off some of their computers, but only if you buy online of course.

Dell might do a similar thing for enterprise customers, I actually don’t know.

I think I’ve seen a similar post on here a while ago and while I have no idea if you’d be fined for flying the flag wrong, flying it upside-down or inverted isn’t really a thing in Oz.

Nice shading work!

I’m still waiting for my 417 Working Holiday Visa to be approved, it’s pretty much the final hurdle before I can move to Australia (for now at least).

It’s been over a month since I’ve applied and boy, there’s nothing like trying to escape the German bureaucratic hell-scape than waiting an eternity for your visa to be granted…

It’s baffling how people couldn’t see that coming after all the crap Rockstar and Take2 pulled off with GTA Online, as well

If you thought that one hurdle was the massive amount of emissions that accelerate the death of the planet even more you’re wrong. Apparently it’s noise levels.

I think the last one I bought new was Burnout Paradise

$39 is probably still a huge markup.

Why would you even joke about shooting someone or committing a school shooting? Not saying what Snapchat did was right, but she kinda asked for it in my opinion.

Even if that’s true it doesn’t invalidate the 10% market share, I doubt that all 57% of Windows machines are actual users.

This is where I stopped reading. We’re looking at OS X, which was replaced by macOS in 2016, at 21.14%, while macOS itself sits at 8.6%.

Statcounter says on their market share page for macOS that they can’t really reliably show usage stats for anything past 10.15, due to a bug in Apple WebKit. The actual market share of macOS is very likely much higher.

Granted, Windows 11 is not a perfect OS

You don’t say…

Of course they want to make upgrading more attractive because it is less attractive now that it ever has been.

If you want people to buy new stuff, making that stuff different from the old stuff they already own would be a good idea.

In a sane socioeconomic system there would still be a chance for him to lose it all

I guess by better I mostly mean “without AI”

you can use it to mock up commercial developments

Fair, but aren’t there better solutions for this already?

So it’s just another solution in search of a problem basically?

What was even the point of this; what was the intended use case?

I’m serious, I have no idea who this is for. Other than to show people that their AI can badly superimpose pictures of Godzilla over maps.
