Odds are if he left there's the possibility their compensation situation might have changed for the worse if not leading to downsizing, that in the edge of a recession with plenty of competition out there.


Win11 its such a dumpster fire they had to stop selling Win10 licenses to force people to upgrade.

Add to that porting copilot to Win10 because there aren't enough Win11 users around.


We’ve heard this for every version of Windows for the past twenty years or more.

When XP was new, there were people refusing to upgrade from Win2000 to “Fischer-Price Windows”.

Well, all versions except Vista — everybody seemed happy to upgrade to Windows 7. (Of course the lesson Microsoft drew from that smooth upgrade was to blow up everything for the next version. “They want tablet interactions, they just don’t know it!”)


Win8 (and Win8.1) also had the same reception. People were, of course, more than happy to move to Win10, which contained most of the under-the-hood improvements from Win8 and had a more traditional UI. (Also, with Vista → 7, it didn't hurt that machines had gotten more powerful in the meantime, so the extra RAM usage didn't really matter much anymore.)


O no. I absolutely agree with the GP. I was fine with every windows after and including XP. Until I received a company laptop with win 11. I have a big fat list of things that are super annoying or bugs.


Anecdotal, but I went 2000 -> 7 -> 10, skipping XP, Vista, and 8. Given that cadence, will hopefully be skipping 11 as well and waiting for whatever is next.


Yes, we were. But have we been fundamentaly wrong?


> they had to stop selling Win10 licenses to force people to upgrade.

To be fair, at some point, you must stop selling old licenses for the software you no longer develop...


You got a point in the optimization part, it's difficult to compare both chips when you're running on completely different OSs, specially when one of them ruins a specially optimized OS like ios

The closest it could get I think would be running a variant of Unix optimized for the Ryzen.


"no where to go"

Indeed, subs and groups in social media have decimated web forums, web2.0 has consolidated most communities within a handful of sites.


A Russian company launched a similar keyboard like 10 years ago, don't know what the long term reliability was


Not all the keys can change and the ones that can't are all Mac ones which limits the adoption of Windows users which like it or not are still the vast majority


Can we trust those numbers though?


the catch is, if we're really hiding, we must have got thousands of deaths by now. Just see how quickly it spread in Korea, Italy and Iran. Hiding (thus no action can be done) for 1.5 months is a sure way to suicide, given the amount of traffic in/out of Vietnam and the population density.

Or you can see that in the past week alone we got 27 cases, starting from 2 planes. And the number is low because we vigorously chased people down to test them all and quarantine them. Had we let them go loose those 2 cases alone could spread to hundreds.
