Even Hulu subscribers have to put up with that crap on their 'freevee' offerings. Makes them unwatchable.
My take is that Windows 12 won't be just a hardware-sales strategy, but the next step toward funneling all Windows software through the Microsoft Store so they can take their cut there too. Won't happen quickly or easily, but they can smell it.
Major media news is great. If you like watching professional turd polishers do their thing.
A tad more info might be helpful.
Rather amused that Pfizer's CEO has COVID. My dark side sometimes just can't keep quiet. Wouldn't wish it on anyone, but...
From the shadows of my mind.
I'd say that qualifies as good news. Sorry you had to go through that period of uncertainty but all's well that... you know the rest. (Guess it's a good thing they didn't scan your head?)
Can't offer specific medical advice but if it were me, consultation with a cardiothoracic surgeon should be arranged soon. There's enlargement (ectasia) and then there's aneurysm. Matter of degree but the distinction is important. Wishing all the best for you.
Thoughts are with ya, RND. Treatment options are generally very good.
Would depend on the OS, I would think. If it has a standard version of Windows 10, most of the OD apps would be compatible. Some of the apps are still undergoing development to make them compatible with Win11.

I've been using a VPN for so long it sometimes slips my mind in these discussions. Regardless of browser, a VPN is highly advisable, if not mandatory for maximal security. They are not expensive. My preferred at present is NordVPN. I wouldn't trust a free one.

I had been hoping DDG was working on a full-fledged PC browser for some time. Now, not so much. Brave appears to be about as 'private' as you can currently get.

Shame is, DuckDuckGo's browser for iOS is really nice & has been my default there for some time. Fortunately, Brave for iOS is quite nice as well.

Disappointed in DuckDuckGo, to say the least. Switching to Brave's integrated search for now.

I'll second that Brave recommendation. (SWIDT)

WaaS, whatever you want to call it, MS will either hoover everything and sell it, or convert Windows to a subscription product, or both. I have no qualms about software subscriptions per se (I subscribe to OD), but I'm not dead in the water if my OD sub expires. And they'll get around to finding ways to screw you over, the way Adobe has, without notice or recourse.
[quote who="PhoenixRising1" reply="83" id="3849290"] Is the fear here that Microsoft is going to make Windows into some sort of ransomware that is going to lock everyone out of their pc's unless they pay some sort of subscription fees? [/quote] Hadn't thought in those terms until now, but that's not far off, if at all. They should call it Windows RW.
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="70" id="3849144"] I'd question whether W11 is HIPAA compliant...it has at least as many holes as a Swiss cheese...after all, MS's OS's are being security patched all the time. I never looked into it, but there are probably more HIPAA compliant OSs than MS's, although I could be wrong about that. [/quote] Technically, that question has not been answered, but our long-trusted tech support guy insists we not allow Win11 upgrades on any of our network
Using 0patch is well & good for personal/individual situations but it gets a little hairier when part of a corporate environment requiring adherence to certain security standards. At present, for instance, if an application or OS is not HIPAA compliant and is used for medical applications, the user could be subject to major fines and exclusion from participation in Medicare. Once MS stops officially providing security updates (OS is at EOL), it is no longer HIPAA compliant and
