That's me, with a brief stopover on Fark before my brain was fully developed.

Yup...Windows 12? The evil monkey's paw demon is like, "I'll give you that wish for free."

You can bypass the requirements since yeah, they were always artificial. I believe Rufus has an option when creating Win11 install USBs to remove the TPM and other requirements.

But then again, it's nice, because all I need to make sure Microsoft doesn't secretly update my Win10 machine in the night to Win11 is to turn off the TPM in the BIOS.

Unless you killed somebody, the statutes of limitations have run.

I still remember the "dumb" tech was AOL warez chatrooms where you interacted with a chat bot to get an email with lists of scene games, movies and other stuff in the traditional multi-RAR parts, and you'd individually request them a few at a time to be emailed. Then you'd move to IRC when you found out could be done faster, or BBSes.

I've probably forgotten most of how things worked.

It can be hard to find a site that isn't shareware spam. Try this list, find a freeware you like that hopefully uses FFMPEG, and bookmark the site for next time you need a pre-vetted list of good tools:

But what device do you use to stream? That's the dilemma I'm in, streaming sticks and devices are all so spammy.

I'm initially feeling, "Great, now do Apple."

But I do wonder how some of this ruling will be implemented. Forcing Google Play to host other app stores seems like it may be excessive.

Let me download F-Droid or whatever, drop anti-competitive barriers to it, don't prevent anyone from using their device how they want. But I am savvy to the risks. There are a lot of non-techie people for whom the Google Play walled garden more keeps out threats than keeps them imprisoned, if we're being honest. It's one thing for Google to host an app it can scan for malware and designate as safe. Hosting an app store is impossible to verify is safe, I think.

Good overall, but I think Google isn't entirely acting in bad faith in promising to appeal.

This is the way.

Is there a better filesystem that is Mac and PC compatible? I've used ExFAT for that reason alone, but it's a big one.

Couldn't have happened to a douchier bag.

Musk is taking it to the farm upstate.

Oh my god, I forgot Fatal Farm did that. Here I was just enjoying all their Garfield works... https://www.youtube.com/@lasagnacat/videos
