I picked up a Fossil Everett watch that is a hybrid between a physical watch and a smart watch. It has all the basics like message notifications, pedometer, heartbeat sensor, etc. The best part is the battery lasts well over 2 weeks between charges.

Scrolling through that site, it says, "large elastic range of the shaft". Nice, though I have no idea what they're talking about.

Ah, I skipped 8 and 8.1 but I didn't really hear much complaining at the time.

That's a fair point, though I can't imagine doing any of that kind of work on an ultralight, or whatever this is.

Nvidia graphics, weird. Looks like a Macbook. Also not a huge fan of Gnome, but still good to see them get some support.

Windows 10 was the start of the enshittification. Windows 7 was the best version of Windows, by far.

Ditto here. I always felt that the desktop environments were just way less polished than Windows, but I feel like it's been the reverse now with KDE Plasma for the past couple years. I don't feel like I'm taking a lesser experience for the sake of having control over my computer, at least anymore.

I would actually like if Windows went back to the Windows 7 era of... everything. At least there'd be some competition to Linux. Where it's sitting right now with both Windows 10 and 11, I'd take a lesser experience under Linux if it meant that Microsoft wasn't in charge of everything. It's my computer.

It's just something that people are excited about. It's also mind-boggling how people complain so much about a product but refuse to replace it. Yeah, I get it how there's software that only runs on Windows; this is something that should be fixed. We shouldn't be stuck on a shitty OS with no other options due to required software. That's the thing about Linux, you can customize it to be whatever you want, whereas you're stuck with whatever Microsoft gives you with Windows. Just the idea that a single company has control over everything is wrong. I don't really care if Linux wins out in the end, I just want choice in what OS I can run. That's it.

This company famously stopped being loyal to its employees back in the 90s.

They are going to play classic Microsoft and destroy their competition in this way, then they will do what they want when they have a stranglehold on the market.

Keep in mind that they added Denuvo to the game, apparently post-launch.

Heads up that you can hit [escape] key while booting or shutting down in order to see the console and tell what the computer is actually doing.
