I hate Windows 10

[PatrThom]

Ok so we've had discussions about how Windows 11 requires the use of a TPM (and a v2.x TPM, to boot. None of this v1.x BS) before it will even let you install it. The reason for this is that they say the TPM creates a hardware root of trust, a bulwark of firmware-level security at the foundation of everything Windows 11 does to keep everything secure, and...

TIL that hitting Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win+L opens up LinkedIn. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win+T opens up Microsoft Teams, and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win+P opens up PowerPoint.

Those are some really shitty keyboard "shortcuts" that I will never be using.

There's a whole bunch of those. I forgot what other pages and programs, you can definitely find a list somewhere on the net. They're all equally useless.

This is why it's dangerous to listen to thunder gods, they might speak cursed knowledge.

So you may have heard that Microsoft will be offering a three-year Extended Service Update (ESU) program for Windows 10 (much like they did for Windows 7). However, there are some changes to the Windows10 version.
-It will be available for end users, unlike the previous ESU, which was available only for business accts. Yay!
-The end-user version will only run for one year, not three. Boo!

Only time I ever open Edge is if i need to check a webpage in a clean, cookie-free, add-on free browser for some reason. Which is to say, almost never.

The only time I ever open edge is if one of you guys tells me "The site's not loading for me" and I ask "what browser are you using" and the answer is Edge.

That's not very often.

I use edge at work. The world hasn't ended yet.

Most of my work websites work better in Edge. I still keep Firefox open all day for my searches.
