Had no problems running LTSC for several years while using game pass, just had to enable the store and grab a couple official packages. Alongside MAS it’s a nice replacement for people not willing to switch to Linux. While I no longer have any windows machines at home, I have setup friends and family with LTSC and they have all been happy with it.

Store them in a colder spot. I personally like freezing them. Wrappers always come off cleanly.

Yes but also it’s encrypted!

Only while on phone calls or waiting for the microwave’s last 90 seconds so it’s too short to go back to my desk and too long to hold the handle and watch the last second tick to done so I can open it right away.

This is why I always get a Costco 18" pizza for $10 every time I'm at the store. Yes, the pizza quality is not great, but neither are any of these other chains that charge 3x (or more) for less pizza of similar quality.

But what does that matter when the platform has plenty of competition? This is what doesn’t make sense to me. Google chose to allow other app stores. That’s a feature of the platform. Apple chose to not allow sideloading or other app stores, again, as a feature.

Who is forcing people to use Apple devices?

Why doesn’t this extend to other platforms like Nintendo or PlayStation whose stores are explicit features of the platforms?

This is what never made sense to me about this argument.

Who exactly is forcing people to buy iPhones? How is the platform anti-competition when there’s loads of competition all around it, in equally as large numbers?

The walled garden has always been a feature, a selling point. And people choose to adopt it or not.

Can you explain better how the logic in your argument above goes, with that in mind?

I use this when I don’t have Bitwarden generator available:

openssl rand -base64 64

Time to start /c/LemonParty as a replacement for /r/gonewild

Ok? Which part of what I said was irrelevant in your mind?

You can literally put your hand directly on the surface of an induction cook surface while it’s on. You can also place it on the surface within seconds of removing the hot pan of food that was cooking.
