So, basically nothing new in Windows 11 that I want and a whole lot of things I don't.

I have actually encountered those sort of potential differences between ground planes. They can indeed wreak havoc under the right circumstances.

I can't decide whether to laugh or cry.

Turns out one of the video-editing programs I use (VideoRedo) has shut down anyway (I think the owner passed away) and so I'll need to look for an alternative anyway - I don't think I can activate it on new machines anymore.

Because I haven't yet updated from Windows 10 to 11 and had been putting it off. In the past week, though, I have seen a number of news articles highlighting issues I am going to have with Windows 11 and this particular article, indicating that they have been effectively leaving systems vulnerable simply because they have applications they don't like installed is just not good enough. I'd understand it if they were saying "we can't guarantee your OS stability with these apps" or "we can't guarantee these apps will work anymore" if they were removing older API support, but this is ridiculous.

Good to know. I don't play many games, but do have some older ones from GoG that would be nice to keep.

Thanks, will do!

I was already dubious about upgrading from 10 to 11 and this is final straw. I will have to look at Linux options and see if my Windows-only programs will run effectively under WINE.

Given how bad the show's writing has been for years and the declining in viewership in the Chibnell era, I'm actually surprised the BBC actually reversed course for once.

I think it's just that we're possessive/protective of "our" code, even more so if one is passionate about programming. We've put a lot of effort into it, then somebody else comes along and "ruins" our "perfect" (to our eyes) formatting/styling!
