Pi is a good option because of it’s low power draw.

However I find used mini pc’s and Small Form Factor desktops to be a better value and their idle power is similar to the latest Pi (while costing about the same as a new Pi).

I replace crappy ones when I remove them.

I’ll tolerate Phillips, but slotted gets replaced with torx. Phillips get replaced if they get damaged.

You’ve been corrected on this before: chav doesn’t mean poor.

So take your strawman elsewhere.

Chav - Etymology, Origin & Meaning https://www.etymonline.com/word/chav

Origin and history of chav chav(n.) “antisocial youth,” British slang, by 2004, apparently from earlier charver “loutish young person wearing designer-style sportswear,” Northern British slang (1997) of uncertain origin. Earlier it was a verb in homosexual slang for “have sex.” Perhaps ultimately from Romany (Gypsy).

I wouldn’t expect those to be upgrading to 11

Every desktop/laptop will upgrade to 11 - no business will accept the risk of maintaining an OS that’s out of support (with some exceptions). So you don’t have a choice.

I couldn’t have written it better.

The only disagreement I’d have is that Win2k was the major turning point when NT architecture hit mainstream. Suddenly we had NT core with a UI that users understood and dynamic events (PnP).

Though for us in IT, NT4 was the major turning point - a solid OS that you could actually use in business.

XP brought a lot more user functionality (plus better performance), and Windows 7 brought the current version of 64-bit architecture.

Your point about working in the enterprise nails it - you simply can’t pivot just because “this is a better way”. Does the current shovel still dig a ditch? Then replacing all the shovels with this fancy new one that weighs 6oz less isn’t a useful way to expend resources (time/money/management overhead/etc).

There’s no value in switching to ARM, basically.

Haha, that’s awesome

Clearly you haven’t seen many signatures.

Mine is a scrawl that no one could identify, and I learned cursive a long, long time ago.

I’ve recently taken to drawing figures whenever I have to electronically sign something.

Wires could be in the wall.

Why are you on social media when studies have shown it’s bad for your mental health?

1. Always run as a user account.

I mean the basic rules apply: If it’s in a box/in the center part of the store, it should only be used occasionally.

I’d you just call it YADA without it being an acronym…

Meh, it just wasn’t funny or entertaining. That’s all.

Waterworld is awful - definitely not underrated.

Troll Hunter is brilliant!

Hahahahahaha

LibreOffice won’t do tables, ever.

Just uninstall any apps you don’t use/want.

Bloat removing pretty much went away with NT-based Windows since it’s much harder to hide garbage.

About the only utility I consider trustworthy for adjusting Windows is Winaero Tweaker. It’s not for uninstalling apps, but for adjusting how Windows works - UI settings and a few system settings.
