Windows has WinGet now, which is a built in package manager. It might not be as good as most linux distro package managers, but it does exist.

Well, the house I'm living in now was built in the 1960s, and is also still very solid.

My parents' timber house is from the 1780s and is still solid. So, 240 years at least, give or take. I'm aware of plenty of timber houses from the 1600s that are still standing and functional as well.

My parents are using a 3rd gen i7 and it works fine. My brother has a few computers, one is a 2nd gen intel, but I think he put Linux on that one. My home server was running on my 4th gen i7 until I upgraded it to my second gen Ryzen earlier this year after I upgraded my gaming.

I got an ender 3 pro for about $100 a couple years ago

I'm using Zoho. It's pretty cheap and wasn't hard to set up with my domain.

There's a setting Teams, under "Files and Links" where you can change it from Edge to Default Browser. Scummy that it works that way, but you can work around it at least (for now anyway).

Zenni optical is another affordable online option! Or eye buy direct. I've only used Zenni, but all of my glasses since like 2011 have come from them and I've had 0 issues!

I do, mostly because it gives a different menu if you click that vs the start menu (it shows recently open programs). If I'm searching I generally just hit the windows key and type, but if I'm slouched and reaching for the mouse only it can be helpful. It's not like it takes up a lot of space, I've got an ultrawide at work and dual 2560x1440 monitors at home.

At my parents' place, it's about 9 miles (~14km) to the nearest gas station/convenience store, which has super limited hours, or roughly a 15 minute drive. It's about 14 miles (~23km) to the nearest grocery store, or about a 20 minute drive.

I live in the suburbs of a major city, so the nearest stores from me are around a mile (1.6km) away. The nearest big supermarket is like 2 miles (3.2km) away.

Same! I went from a 2700x to the 7800x3d. I'll probably upgrade in 4-7 years depending on my financial situation and the specs for new hardware.

Oddly it doesn't load in Firefox but works fine in Chrome. Firefox shows this error:
