The “Promised Land” should become like the Garden of Eden - Promised to God’s people, but God’s people fucked up and failed to follow his instructions, so they had to leave.

Return it to the animals. As least they won’t send missile strikes wherever they think they should be “living”.

Honestly, this is the point where I’d just make a new VM and manually migrate what I need to

Hyper-V will work with physical disk, but be warned - the wizard you run through when making a VM will make it look like you give the VM a VHD file for storage or nothing. Just attach no storage to the VM initially, then go into the VM settings after the wizard is complete to attach something besides a VHD.

Can’t entirely remember if it handles partitions but I know it can boot particular disks and if the setting exists, that’s where it would be

Windows 7 was a competent OS with low system requirements, a stable kernel, a simple feature set that was well-known and useful, an interface that was comprehensible and clearly conveyed to the user, and it didn’t require extra investment or online accounts, and compatibility options for the really old stuff. It remains the Best version of Windows in my eyes.

8 took away the comprehenisble UI, low spec options, and lack of online service requirements, then 10 further complicated the UI and filled the OS with ads, the then 11 bloated the feature set, added even more ads, borked compatibility, and made the online accounts a requirement unless you pay extra and/or know what you’re doing.

Been using this for years. Highly recommended if you want a lightweight pdf reader. It’s bare bones and that is both a curse and a blessing.

Forget about EA, they’re a different company. Ubisoft is the one you want to worry about, they own Watch_Dogs and all related copyrights like DedSec

But muh platform growth!?!?! It just needs more AI, that’ll get the people upgrading

Even 11 doesn’t require a TPM if you know what you’re doing.

I had tried that previously, but on trying it again I realized that I’d missed setting the Color Depth. Apparently this was enough to make it work properly. Thank you!!

I have 5 20TB HDDs in a RAID array at home, in the real world I get a little over 72 of them. I can lose one disk and have no data loss, though

As for how quickly you fill it up, I’d say that really depends on how much data is redundant and how many backups you want to keep.

It’s like back in the day when everyone used Internet Explorer for their web browser. There’s little to nothing in the marketplace indicating to them that an alternative exists in the first place, let alone that they could switch to it.

They don’t want to learn how to use their computer all over again. Some people really do prefer the devil they know

You want to advertise to me in the OS? Don’t charge me $200 for the OS then!!

Linux user for a long time, actually. I like Q4OS for myself, it’s also Debian based and it puts very little in front of the user to start so I can customize a little more

No.

What kind of therapy do I go to if I’m in an abusive relationship with my Operating System?
