I suppose if you're half-blind and squint I could be vaguely mistaken for a diamond shape?
The colour is very important.

Oh, that's why: I'm wearing a red shirt, my user experience is therefore expendable :)
-
I'm gathering an away team. You're on it.
-
Red shirts in TNG era onwards are command, therefore safe.
-
Someone actually did the maths and it turns out that, considering all the shows, you're the safest as a redshirt. Even considering how many of them died in TOS, there were so many on the ship the percentage of deaths is very low. Goldshirts turned out to be the most endangered group.
And no, CBA to look it up.

That is a level of nerdy pedantic dickweedery I aspire to never achieving.

FTFM

Oh, no, I could achieve it if I so desired. But even as nerdy and pedantic as I am, I'm not nearly that bad.

Better?

Also worth pointing out that Im pretty sure @abarker said:
was speaking of 8, any time I've touched an 8 system, I've never found a way to easily launch a desktop app from the start screen. Maybe that's changed in 8.1. Even then, that is a huge waste of real estate. The start screen uses tiles that take up large chunks of space, because it is designed for a
"I've never found a way to easily launch a desktop app from the start screen"
Really, I just click on its tile...
More often than not I just hit the windows key type the app name and hit enter and it opens (Same way that I use windows 7 actually....) dont see the problem.

Because I couldn't find a more appropriate thread about Windows 7...
A “serious” Windows 0-day is being actively exploited in the wild
Unpatched flaw used in combination with Chrome exploit doesn't work against Win 10.
So in reality, the scare language saying "Hackers are lying in wait with ready-made hax!" happens to actually be somewhat true!
Kinda wondering about the exploits for XP that had similar language....

Make a smooth transition to Windows 11 from your unsupported operating system with help from Microsoft. Enjoy the benefits of upgrading to a Windows 11 PC.

Going forward, the best way for you to stay secure is on Windows 10. And the best way to experience Windows 10 is on a new PC. While it is possible to install Windows 10 on your older device, it is not recommended.
Not to mention this:

@Onyx said in Windows 7 Extended Support date announced:
still use Windows 7 which means they can't run IE 13.
Good news! Microsoft is finally abandoning IE!

@Tsaukpaetra solution: don't use chrome. Which is always good advise.

From the article:
The flaw, which resides in the Windows win32k.sys kernel driver, gives attackers a means to break out of security sandboxes that Chrome and most other browsers use to keep untrusted code from interacting with sensitive parts of an OS.
Which makes it sound like Chrome isn't the only program (not just browser) affected.

Yeah, it's not like Microsoft pushed a free tool via an update that would do exactly that or anything

Even Microsoft recommend you keep using Windows 7

@hungrier reminds me - does the accessibility tools hack still work?

Hard to realise anything with your brain removed

Also, you think brain would realize the body is gone, no?
After you separate the chicken's head from the body, which part is the chicken?
