9mm Parabellum was designed by Austrian George Luger 10mm Auto was designed by FFV Norma AB of Sweden 5.56 NATO was developed in Belgium by FN Herstal, as was 5.7mm 7.62×39mm was developed by the Soviets

These European cartridges all use metric measurements

.223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .40 Smith & Wesson, .22lr, .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum, .44 Remington Magnum are all American made cartridges that use decimals of Imperial measurements Original designer’s name gets includes because, well, capitalism lol

I think one of the few exceptions might be 6.5mm Creedmoor, developed by Hornady

In order to be exposed to this phenomenon, this 80 year old grandma would need to have two PCs for that purpose, which is rather uncommon. They’d also need to engage in more activities than you’re describing, because browser only Grandma probably doesn’t have any shortcuts.

I own a repair shop and interact with your average consumer / home user on a regular basis, so making these concepts understandable to them is not alien to me.

As an alternative, though, I have had to explain why leaving OneDrive running and paying Microsoft $2 per month would have saved them a few hundred dollars in advanced data recovery fees or maybe even have any data at all after a crashed head made confetti out of the platter.

I’ve also sent people to check OneDrive.com and have them skip that entire phase of work altogether. Compared to 10 years ago, data recovery cases are increasingly rare in my shop.

It might seem dead simple to you and I, but getting this type of user to manage a 3-2-1 backup themselves is hard work and is no likely to pan out in their favor.

First, OneDrive only moves libraries if you enable backup for that library, something that the user is prompted to approve during OOBE or when setting up OneDrive.

Thing is, library locations are an environment variable. This isn’t a OneDrive issue, using an absolute path is bad software development. The issue you describe is not unique to OneDrive, it also affected users who had remapped their libraries to a secondary drive or literally anywhere other than C:\Users\Username Ironically, the original Oblivion release respects the environment variable path. The same is true for virtually every other piece of software, which is why so many users were confused encountering this for the first time.

Most Shortcuts default to C:\Users\Public\Desktop which is not indexed by OneDrive, but user created shortcuts or those for apps that install to the user account’s AppData folder (Discord, Zoom) will end up on the regular desktop. For those who do want to back up their desktop but don’t want machine specific shortcuts showing up ‘dead’ on other machines, you can created a shortcuts to the Public Desktop that the user can drop their other shortcuts into.

Pretty much every motherboard in the last 10 years has shifted to the “Intel Standard” layout:

Most midrange to high end cases have a single connector that fits right on there, for compatibility they include a breakout adapter.

You successfully printed the Combine checkpoint from Half Life 2, failing to see the problem here

Limits app installations to those on the Microsoft Store and also disables Terminal / Powershell.

Makes for a super simple tamper-proof system that is similar to a Chromebook but a little more versatile. It’s a good solution for users who are all-in on the Microsoft ecosystem - think those who live their lives in Edge, Word, Excel. The restrictions keep them out of hot water.

Those restrictions are obviously annoying to those who want to install regular x86_64 apps from an .exe / .msi file or use Powershell / Terminal / CMD.

Switching out of S mode is very easy: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307

The issues i get through linux come from my failure to understand it

I’d argue that’s true of any user’s experience with any OS, including what you just experienced with Windows.

Getting out of S mode is actually very trivial, certainly moreso than many of the changes one might be expected to make in Linux. There’s a certain type of user that “S Mode” is intended for. You’re not that user, and Linux is likely to be a negative experience for that user.

Linux has been ready for education for a long time! Most of the public high school machines I interacted with in the mid 2000s were linux based. There was a dedicated Mac lab for creative work.

I considered the cost of the hardware and the time I would spend getting it all configured, then collecting the content from various sources.

Ultimately decided that $189 was worth it. I already have too many WIPs and something like this has been sitting on my ToDo list for years already, this is a great shortcut

Getting out of S mode is a few clicks away though. There’s a certain kind of user who actually benefits from it, and nobody is locked in.

RT’s restrictions were primarily architecture based (ARM)

There is no better archive utility than 7-Zip IMO

Just wish there was a MacOS version

In that case, they wouldn’t have found it in Control Panel anyways.

Otherwise, they would have opened Control Panel.

Settings is more accessible to casual users.

As far as Windows 11 is concerned, the difference between those CPUs is hardware presence for fTPM 2.0

Windows 11 uses that for Bitlocker, Core Isolation, and (I think) Local Security Authority features.

Windows 11 is otherwise the same as 10 - I’ve yet to encounter anything that worked in 10 but didn’t in 11.

If those features aren’t important to you, you could easily perform an “unsupported” upgrade to Windows 11 and your system would be just as secure and functional as it is now. You would then be able to enable those features when you upgrade the CPU down the line.

Decided to get 16GB more RAM, a Ryzen 5 2600, and a Gen 3 Sabrent Rocket 1TB SSD

What are your actual improvement goals? Based on your post, it seems like gaming is the focus but your purchases don’t really align with that.

Very few games require or benefit from 32GB of RAM. Those that do aren’t going to run well on your current hardware anyways.

The Ryzen 5 2600 is more of a sidegrade from where you are. I would have recommended going for any Ryzen 5000 processor or waiting.

Storage is storage, so do with that what you will.

Starting with GPU would really have been the way to go for gaming improvements, with CPU as a secondary 2 later upgrade. RX6600 / RX7600 could be had new around your budget, shopping used would likely stretch that budget out further.

Curious to see how effective this is and excited to contribute to its efficacy. I own a repair business and it has taken years to develop the means to effectively cross-reference for compatibility, it takes over a year for a new tech to reliably get the swing of things.

This is going to be interesting

The diagnostic software environment I use to test graphics card VRAM only boots in legacy mode. TServer and Memtune are both internal AMD Tools that have leaked. So far, older boards that support Legacy / CSM have been the ideal platform as a test bench for graphics card repair.

Probably going to be quite the shakeup in the graphics card repair community’s toolkit if the updated version of Memtune for 9xxx cards ever leaks.
