That's one reason that I moved away from MS's OS after 40 years using them last week. The other reason is their obsolescence policy of not officially supporting HW that has a TPM 2.0 chip and a Threadripper processor.

I know that there are ways to circumvent all these obstacles. But an OS is a tool that should work out of the box. My life time is too valuable to spend on bending around their dumb decisions.
 I am looking forward to using my PC many years further.
3/3

I have a Threadripper proc with 12 physical cores, 64 GB RAM + TPM 2.0 module but it is not officially supported to run Win 11.On top of it, the toolbar is not moveable any more, the installed bloatware eg OneDrive and the need to have an MS account made it easy for me to leave their eco system.
2/n

Microsoft has just lost another long time user of their OS. After MS-DOS 2.11, 4.01, DOS inside OS/2 2.x Win95, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 7 and finally 10, I moved completely to Linux Mint, because I think it is absolute not responsible to support their obsolescence policy.

Type Help by William Rous The Unsolvable Mystery

In case you are still looking for a distraction for the weekend - the excellent paranormal murder-mystery "Type Help" by William Rous is now available in German with a translation by yours truly. Feel free to send any comments about the translation directly to me. william-rous.itch.io/type-help

Eine der besten Folgen dieser Reihe. Selten sind Rechte so intelligent auf die Schippe genommen worden.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Many thanks for the critical trip report!
It would be great if you would give it to Fran or Steve so that it can find it's way into Overload or Cvu.

Many thanks for sharing! I know that there are still reasonable people in the US.
I live in Germany & since J.D. Vance speech at the MSC Feb 14th, I make the first time in my life plans for emergency backups at home & discuss with my wife how we can keep our children safe if it comes to the worst.

ACCU 2025 : News As we end the second week of the year, I don't know about you, but I'm still writing 1996 on my cheques. But a new year, of course, means looking forward to another ACCU conference - and we're now…

2025 is here - and so is the ACCU 2025 schedule!

Check out all the talks, including our four fantastic keynotes - as well as seven workshops (including some online options):

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person.

My nephew Matthew shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. A precis on how to live a life of service.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch und alles Gute!

Whenever someone is trying to test business logic with unit test and not with higher level AT or ST I guide them to your two papers on that topic. For me they became a classic. Many thanks again for opening me my eyes!

October 2024 edition of ‘Overload’ magazine, version 183, is now available to read for free!

Includes pieces by Wu Yongwei, Aurelian Melinte, Lucian Radu Teodorescu, Stuart Bergen & Chris Oldwood.

Consider joining ACCU for much more content.
