  • True, but you’ll save lots of time if you keep the ability to do simple math in your head.

    Classmates always wondered how I could finish the tests before the time limit while they weren’t even finished when the bell rang. Well, who’d have thought, entering 20*5 into your calculator takes longer than just doing it in your head? I don’t want to know how long these people take shopping groceries now that everyone has a calculator in their pocket.

















  • “Please name a reason to use Windows other than your main reasons for using Windows.” That is how it comes across.

    And that was exactly what I intended. The only thing Windows has going for it is better adoption. Devs would target other platforms if users chose them - it’s starting in gaming thanks to Valve and their Steamdeck.

    I really don’t see another reason, let alone a manifold of them, to stay on Windows. Especially since Microsoft has been making it worse and worse with their snooping, annoying update policy, constantly increasing pricing, ever-shorter lifecycles and push to cloud.

    manifold reasons for running windows

    Please name some other than “proprietary software that only runs on Windows”.

    I’ve switched to Linux as my main driver couple of years ago and don’t miss a damn thing (admittedly don’t use highly specialized software and ran the FOSS alternatives on Windows even before switching). Still have Windows on my work PC and dread it every day.
