Do the start menu ads pay for this? It is conceivable that they could.
You mean do the ads in the Win11 start menu pay for Win10 updates? Or does Win10 have ads in the start menu, too?

Windows 10 has ads in the start menu. https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/76s2fq/windo...

The typical response if someone comes knocking is ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about’. And really, how would they prove it unless you left a stack of printouts next to the door? Now they could prove it was your printer (and that has happened multiple times in prosecutions!), even if you printed it years ago. You don’t see how that is a problem?
I think there are a lot of things that are potentially problematic where we depend on having a functioning society with real legal protections and due process. Nobody can come in my house without a judicial warrant. And, hopefully, someday there are better privacy laws in the US that mean that Microsoft must handle its collected data more responsibly. If your society has succumbed to serious oppression, does evidence…

Out of interest, what value do you think that a comment like that has, in a forum such as this? You're not likely to be informing people with information they're not already abundantly aware of. Whereas the person you're responding to is adding value, for me at least. I am in what might be an edge-case position where I need to run software specific to Windows and, much more importantly run hardware that uses drivers…
A lot of these no value, didn't ask, pro-linux comments are probably leftovers from linux software maintainer groups and it's passive aggressive culture. And we all know what kind of a role model that person used to be. They've been in that cesspool for too long to recognize how to interact with people. Condolences on your hardware problem btw. Give the windows 10 iot version a shot - it's a fairly quick install anyw…

I guess you missed the part where they’re talking about HDR? Yes, the monitor will work but if you want to take full advantage of the panels you enable HDR.
No I didn't. I intentionally only wrote just OLED because it doesn't have anything to do with HDR not it requires any special support and it doesn't make any fucking sense why they included it along with HDR.

I feel like you might still be perceiving the AI suggestion as some magic box that just does things. It's not. It's a very fast very eager junior. Why and how do people hand work to juniors? You have a rough idea where you want to go, you have a rough idea what needs to be done, and then you iterate. For example, you think "okay, I need some way of validating this" and then you tell it to run the software to generate…
You see how you went from "it's easier to use ai instead of using wine on linux" to "to use ai you must do all this work" Well then using wine was the correct solution to begin with? > This code resides within it, and you can forcefully pull it out. What code? If you had the code you could port it.

> you could run into issues with software that expects home/pro and not LTSC. That's a laughably ignorant statement for how windows app development works. Raymond Chen weeps on reading your comment. Enterprise edition is a strict superset in functionality over Home/Pro, and LTSC just adds longer support. Enterprise IoT just comes with Windows Store components sitting dormantly, which you can promptly activate with `w…
If you would acctually read the comment(s) then you'd understand that SWITCHING has no upside, all your arguments are irrelevant there is no point in wasting time to switch the OS version especially not if you need a full reinstallation. And whether you like it or not there are bad coded software out in the real world that do not work on LTSC they will just error out saying this is not a supported version of windows.…
And instead of unbased hypotheticals perhaps you can point to even a single example of normie software that check for editions of windows as a result of bad coding rather than user-hostile intent? To do so you'd need to go out of your way to hack together undocumented corners instead of the path of least resistance of calling GetVersion() as would be characteristic of lazy coding.
