A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Windows 11 often requires new hardware. But that will be extremely pricey or have very little RAM for a while.

I dont believe that a single competent person works at Micro$oft anymore, but maybe maybe this could lead them to make a less shitty OS?

And garbage software like Adobe Creative Cloud too?

They obviously dont care about users, but the pain could become too big.

All it will do is make Microsoft even more desperate to push all their remaining customers into using cloud services and paying monthly subscription fees for everything, because even the customers they care about (not you, maybe the corporation you work for) won't be buying new PCs for a while.

Sometimes I also think there is no one competent left at Microsoft anymore but they still have their flight sim team so I guess that's something.

Isn't Microsoft just the publisher? Also, there's so many problems with MSFS.

Maybe in gaming is where we will see it first, before other software and webapps.

If the DRAM shortage is long and protracted, perhaps more dumb appliances will make their return, but that's just a pipe dream of mine.

Lol, lmao even. You must not work in software.

Short answer is no. Long answer: NOOOOOO!

You don't know much about windows 11 if that's what you think. Hardware from the last 10 years can run windows 11.

Not really, I tried it on an 8GB Laptop and it was not cool

Also, it goes without saying that tons of competent people work at Microsoft, despite OP saying exactly the opposite.
