So, his brother in law was married to his sister-in-law?


I find it odd that his brother in law was married to his sister-in-law. How exactly does that work?


I think adding a rubber nose and a fake mustache would make them perfect!


Honestly they need to do that


I feel that up to a point the fines do little in the grand scheme of things, as they will pass the expense of the fines on to us, the consumer.


We need corporal punishment for company executives and members of the board. Cane or flog them Singapore style, then they'll start to pay attention to their company's compliance with the law.


Since Corporations are people, revoke their corporate charter for a couple years while they "do time" to pay for their criminal behavior.


If they are people, do three strike laws apply to them?


This Youtube playlist helped me immensely.

This was streamed a little bit ago: https://youtu.be/dvFXWGomZzA Unfortunately, I don't speak Russian. :(


Most likely his processor. That’s what’s holding me back on a 2 year old i7.


So both Windows 11 and Fedora are significantly better than Windows 10 in CPU utilization for you?


Not sure you read the initial post the correct way :)


Then clue me in. A Windows 10 user wants or needs some functionality in Windows 11 but their machine isn't compatible. Instead, they switch to Fedora.

Doesn't that imply Windows 11 and Fedora have some required feature that Windows 10 lacks?


Windows 11 has the anti-feature of not supporting the old processor anymore. Who knows why. Could be anything from simplifying QA and maintenance effort to not being able to (or not willing to) implement a feature on the older platform.

Compared to that, I don't know of a platform Fedora has recently deprecated. Linux usually takes a really long time to deprecate and remove support for old hardware.


criddell is wondering what thing in common Fedora and Win11 had that made switching to either of them preferable to just sticking with Win10, I believe. As in: why not just stay on Win10, unless it was lacking something that Win11 and—apparently, if it was a viable alternative—Fedora have? What was the thing they both had that Win10 did not?


I assumed they wanted their OS to keep getting updates and new features.


handrous explained my question exactly right.

Windows 10 is still supported until 2025 and nobody would be surprised if they extend it two more years. If I were setting up a new machine today, I would probably still install Windows 10. Anything new is an unknown from a security perspective.


my i7 7700k is faster than many newer (approved) processors, yet Microsoft forbids it on Windows 11. It's infuriating.
