    This is why they require a TPM, your motherboard will be DRM against you owning the operating system and it will only run signed software.

      I installed Windows 11 with an unsupported CPU, kinda funny how it just worked despite all their screeching that it wouldn’t work and updating not working, but installing with installation media was flawless.

      It’s a real bitch, automatically logging me into my partner’s account for the whole system and overriding my local user settings when I open MS Office apps Excel or Word (but that’s just Windows), and it cries about my lack of TPM on those apps and the Start menu when it does log in and cries about me not being logged into a MS account otherwise, but you know what? Everything still actually operates.

          An OS is a tool.
          And you are a tool if you use the wrong tool for a purpose.
          E.g. an essential program that only runs on windows and is either impossible or troublesome to run elsewhere.

    My company is transitioning to teams. Most of our engineering is on Linux.

    Can Microsoft please hurry up and break teams so we can’t transition?

      Don’t worry, teams is always somewhere between 10%-30% broken, always something n doesn’t work, there are always a bunch of people that can’t get in the meeting, that can’t share screens all of the sudden because fuck you, that’s why

      Teams is the absolute worst and not a day goes by without people shitting on it, and we’re only using it because most of our customers do but internally we will switch to something open source soon, because I get to make that decision 😎
