Typically the state only cares about things they perceive as children.

The biggest crime here is fried chicken and coffee. My god, I'm disgusted.

What do you mean? Quick Google shows that T-Mobile allowed wireless calling back in 2007.

You can create channels for people to join with Steam?

What's a good alternative that allows easy instant message, voice and video calls, and makes it easy to group my friends by game?

The thing is that there are different target groups here that seem to disconnect. The gamers and tech dudes who want/have all the latest hardware and want to play every game maxed out aren't the people affected, yet somehow they're the ones who chime in for these discussions.

My low end thinkpad from 2013 doesn't need windows on it for any reason, so why bother being offended that it now can't have a supported version?

Isn't Edge also chromium?

Obviously, but we're talking about a really, really small subset of users that probably would earn Microsoft less than a week of coffee in their corporate office.

People who are technical enough to get around the system requirements to install windows 11 on a system that doesn't meet the minimum requirements is most likely technical enough to upgrade their own computer.

How does that make any sense? Does Microsoft get a cut of sales for component upgrades?

I think that's an interesting way to look at it. I find it easier to do the mental gymnastics, as you call it.

Real talk, is there some benefit to an analog clock that would prevent them from all being replaced by digital ones? Being able to know exactly the time in a moment's glance seems better to me.

They're certainly not better looking than a digital one, considering most of the ones used in schools are just the cheapest and most basic version they can get.

Power requirements maybe? Longevity?
