  • I’m only commenting this because you said you’re stuck on Win11 and not defending it, but…

    Using winget and Chocolately will make your app installation much better.

    Also, to reload your path variable in a PowerShell prompt you can run the following:

    $env:Path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")

    Again, your gripes are all legitimate, but these might help ease your pain.

    As someone who lived in a neighborhood without an HOA, I completely agree with this. I had so many bad experiences with the neighborhood without the HOA. Aside from people not taking care of their yards or houses, including one person who replaced their grass with laminate tiles, there were much worse things.

    There were constantly cars parked up and down the streets blocking your view and making it impossible for two cars to pass. We had two neighbors feuding over parking in front of each other’s houses. One of them decided to line the curb with cones. And the other would just leave their trash can out 24/7 blocking the curb.

    I had a neighbor start a computer refurb business out of their garage. Which caught on fire at least 3 times. One time it caught on fire and there were so many cars parked on the street the firetrucks couldn’t make it to their house.

    The neighborhood I live in now has the perfect balance. The HOA is run by a 3rd party who does not live in the neighborhood. And all rule changes require a meeting and at least half of the residents need to be in attendance before it can be taken to a vote. This keeps one neighbor from taking things over and turning into one of those nightmare HOAs you always hear about.

    Microsoft in 1995: Let’s put the start button at the lower left. So people can always find it.

    Microsoft in 2012: Start button is gone, but you can still click the lower left, like you have been for 17 years.

    Microsoft in 2013: Fine have your button back since everyone is so used to clicking on it.

    Microsoft in 2021: Let’s make the start button move around every time you open and close anything.






  • I grew up in Texas and moved to England. I remember my first weekend there looking at a map thinking of going to visit Cambridge. It was a couple of inches away on the map and I thought, should be an hour maybe an hour and half drive. Imagine my surprise when I arrived in Cambridge in 20 minutes. I forgot to take into consideration scale.

    Yes it was a paper map, I know I’m old.
