Google's auto-updating ChromeOS Flex offers a stable future to Windows 10 holdouts. Just in case it's not the Year for you to go elsewhere
Welcome to the walled garden, you'll never want to leave

I own a ChromeBox and at one time had ChromeOS Flex installed on an old PC (now retired). ChromeOS works great for many things and the addition of the Linux environment adds to the possibilities.
So I say this with eyes wide open... ChromeOS is NOT a valid replacement for many (most?) Windows 10 users. The odds of any Windows user having at least one Windows only app is pretty big. Not to mention most Windows users are not very tech savvy... a switch to ChromeOS may well be a bridge too far.
That being said... MS should be responsible for buying back and recycling all the old W10 PC's that cannot run W11 due to their arbitrary hardware decisions.

If memory serves me right, we had the "check compatibility for Win 11" feature, you passed the checks, everybody was so excited to install Win 11 for free and then the proverbial sh*t hit the fan afterwards, yet here we are...

I actually was happy to fail the test, at least I would nto be annoyed with "update" ads. If I have to change the OS, I want to be the one deciding when and which version I want to install.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

The redesigned context menus are a controversial part of Windows 11. Now I finally know what that scissors icon does

"The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry" the one and only episode from that quarter I've aever seen, having no "Paramount" streaming subscription and no will to fork over bucks just to watch TV on some "device" I happen to have. Will wait, I'm sure, to acquire the Blu-ray compendium of the Series once it is finished running there.
I like Star Trek. I'd call myself a discriminating fan. And with all the internet fanclubs and info available I can certainly see it and other sci-fi video feature-length output running my life as I approach my senesence.

I do not use Windows 11 on a day to day basis yet.
I've grumbled that moving the cut, copy, & paste funtions to the "show more options" menu was annoying.
I honestly didn't notice the icons across the top of the context menu.

I hope that they have fixed the feature that is my pet peeve with the current Context Menu. The Show More Options menu item is at the bottom of the list and appears whilst other menu items in the middle are still being added. Many times I have moved to the Show More Options item and clicked it but, in between moving and clicking, the menu has expanded and I have unintentionally selected Share With Skype.

And "Share with Skype" likely isn't even used by the Skype team.

After actual debt, ask Ai to solve your security debt, comes at only 130% interest with no contractual obligations!
This should actually be marked as spam, cannot further AI's mission to take over the world, pinky might feel left out!!

Technology company Nokia (NOKIA.HE), opens new tab on Wednesday unveiled an AI-powered tool that generates messages for industrial workers, including warnings about faulty machinery based on real-time data and recommended ways to boost factory output. "Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time"

Vaguely remembers the name, associated with brick and banana right?

Creating a register of licensed AI professionals to uphold ethical standards and securing whistleblowing channels to call out bad management are two policies that could prevent a Post Office-style scandal. Because a licensing body *always* stops bad behaviour
I mean, lawyers are licensed, right?

Threatening messages made to prevent piracy are more effective on women, according to new research "And if you got anything to say to me, you can say it with cash"

Quote: more piracy — if you’re a man.
Well I think it's because of the accent, men like to say things like, "Yarr, you scrurvy dog, fetch me some grog!" more than women.
