I "early adopted" Win 11 when the Ryzen 5600X came out (late 2020 i think?) and it was objectively better at release. All MS had to do was fix the start button and then not fuck with it and I'm sure there would have been way less hatorade flowing.

Daaaamn. The closest thing I could think of was my friend's 96 (98? Whenever the EK body started) Honda civic that had the factory alarm and remote locks in the radio. He ended up splicing some wires and shoving the factory radio into his glove box or something to get around it.

How long until they start putting some kind of DRM in cars that prevents you from just installing an aftermarket android auto head unit?

Don't forget eating almost exclusively fast food so that nobody can poison your meals.

I'm talking more like the Windows ME/XP days to be honest. But too many to count. It's more that actually useful features that used to be fairly standard (like 7-segment status displays and speakers) are effectively being gated behind $500+ motherboards to make them more attractive. A board that would have come with alphanumeric status codes now is lucky to ship with a couple LEDs that just indicate where a problem is at, not what the specific problem is.

Maybe that's why he's trying to build a life underground.
