This came exactly when I needed it, thank you, recently my computer has been too fast for my liking, and I felt like I controlled something I owned (which is just too much responsibility for me right now), and all of that was solved when I replaced my OS with Windows. Glory to Microsoft, forced updates, Copilot, and outdated code!

    Recently I almost forgot my encryption keys. With windows I can now safely rest assured that I can always decrypt my drive with a simple file from github.
    This shows the value of a great community, because while microsoft wrote the back-door, the tool to use it was developed by an independent programmer.

    It's great actually!

    Before, I would make my coffee before turning on my computer, now I can streamline this as with Windows my computer isn't ready until my coffee is too, saving me valuable minutes.

    And right when I'm in the middle of my work, I'll get exciting pop-ups about the new AI capabilities coming to Office 365, far beyond what LibreOffice could ever dream of. I didn't even ask for the adverts, they just feed me new content all the time!

    Most of my work now involves prompting Copilot and waiting for it's response, downloading Windows Updates, or waiting for my Google Chrome with it's own bundled 4GB AI model to install. With that much waiting, I've increased my coffee consumption 5x so far this week, hit my move goal 3x over every day (I go for a short 20 mile hike while the Updates download), and generated some absolutely hilarious images with ChatGPT and my friends!
