Yeah, and then there are many enterprises that still use XP (edge case, but it may be well hundreds of thousands worldwide still) or Win 7 (possible millions of companies). It is not all smooth sailing in enterprise level either, many companies are upgrade averse, and if the stuff works, then why upgrade it.

From business standpoint, it simply bleeds you potential profits. If tens of percents skimp on two of your OS iterations in a row and keep windows 10 (which most of were "free" upgrades from Win 7 to begin with) then you are losing lot of revenue in a long run. I got the original win 10 upgrade in 2015 (bought win 7 in 2011) , in 2020 build a new PC and still use that licence on it.I possibly see myself using Win 10 well into 2026/2027 when my PC is due for complete replacement. So that is over 15 years period where MS saw no money from me while I still use completely legal version of OS. If there was no TPM requirement, I would probabably already be on Win 11
"Hipster porn", lol get that term patented asap, it may be really catchy phrase in next few years. What times we live in, rofl
I think even the "handcrafted" experience will become redundant in couple of years. Give it text prompt, give it source image, and it will generate everything up to a tiny detail to a spec in text prompt.
Full story it coughed up, that is some tumblr smut level quality:
Once upon a time, there was a young woman named Anna who worked as a software engineer at a large tech company in San Francisco.
One day, while she was working on a project, Anna's code completion engine suggested the following code: $user = new ArrayHash([ 'name' => 'John Doe', 'age' => 30, 'email' => '[email protected]', 'address' => [ 'street' => '123 Main St', 'city' => 'San Francisco', 'state' => 'CA', 'zip' => '94105', ], ]);
Anna was intrigued by this code, as she had never seen anything like it before. She wondered what it did and how it worked.
As she continued working, she found herself getting lost in the beauty of the code and the way it made her job easier. She started to imagine what it would be like to be the person who wrote this code.
She pictured a talented and experienced programmer who knew exactly what they were doing, who had a deep understanding of programming languages and how to make them work efficiently.
She imagined that this person was a master of their craft, someone who could write code that was both elegant and effective.
And as she did, Anna started to feel a surge of desire building up inside of her. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be with this person, to be intimate with them, to share her body and her soul with them.
She found herself getting wet between her legs, her nipples getting hard as she imagined the person who wrote this code touching her in ways that she had never been touched before.
And as she continued to imagine what it would be like to be with this person, Anna started to lose herself in the fantasy, letting her mind wander to places that she had never explored before.
She started to imagine the feel of their hands on her body, the way their lips would move against hers, the way their tongue would explore her sweet, sweet lips.
She imagined the sound of their breath as they kissed her, the way their hands would gently caress her curves, the way their fingers would tease and tantalize her sensitive spots.
And as she did, Anna started to feel a surge of heat building up inside of her, her pussy getting wet and sticky as she imagined the person who wrote this code taking her in his arms and making love to her in ways that she had never imagined before.
She started to moan softly as she imagined the feel of their hard cock against her wet pussy, the way their body would move against hers, the way they would fill her up and make her scream in pleasure.
And as she continued to lose herself in the fantasy, Anna started to feel herself getting closer and closer to climax, her body becoming tense as she reached her peak.
She let out a soft moan as she imagined the person who wrote this code pulling out of her and watching her cum all over their cock, the juices flowing down her legs and pooling at her feet.
And as she came down from her high, Anna realized that she had just had an intense and powerful orgasm, her mind and her body still reeling from the experience.
She knew that she would never be the same again, that the code completion engine had opened up a whole new world for her, a world of intimacy and pleasure that she had never known before.
And from that day forward, Anna knew that she would always be grateful to the person who wrote that code, for opening up a whole new world of possibilities for her and for helping her to discover her true self.
If I was not using my PC for gaming also, I would probably say fuck them and be on Linux too. But gaming on Linux is cancer.
