Imagine what I found:
And yes, the EULA text says:

@TimeBandit Wow! They are thus actually still supporting Windows 7. Great!
Or are those thingies just fakes? Actually contain a Windows 11 installer?

What the hell is this shit? I got American streaky bacon and it shrivelled away to a salty watery mess. Iām going back to rashers. Food was eaten and leftovers were scrapped out of the frying pan when I wasnāt watching. Iāll take it as a win.

If you consider accidentally-not-deleting ancient update file packages "supporting", then I suppose yes.

Neither of the links points to anything stating Windows 11, or installer.

Status: Awesome. Ship my totes upside fucking down so I have to return half of them due to breakage. Amazingly, not the lids this time, but most of the handles and loops the handles clip onto. Good thing I have broken lids that I can send back since returns are trashed anyway.
FedEx warehouses must be a big game of nuclear-powered bumper cars. I never have this much trouble with full totes bouncing around in a box truck between shows. Damn it, I can never get in front of this because the failure rate of these shippers dictates I order five figures worth at once just to get enough undamaged ones to work with at any given time.

I'm not against it or offended by it, I just wasn't expecting it.

Maybe now, but it had that nickname long before the current owner bought it. (It referred to the users, but .)

Status: And suddenly it got sweltering outside. Really wish I would have had t-shirt and shorts today had I known it was gonna climb up to double digit temperatures. 11 C would almost call for a beach visit, although methinks the sea may still be frozen there.

@Atazhaia 11 Ā°C isn't even close to sweltering. 20 Ā°C is almost but not quite comfortable; anything less requires at least a sweater. 25 Ā°C is pleasant. 30 Ā°C is warm. Sweltering is 40+.

What you see in the mirror and what other see are different things. They are, um, mirror reflections of one another.

New one uses a ratchet strip for much smaller adjustment windows, and is kinda nice in that regard.
Now to reconfigure muscle memory modules for interacting with the belt. First world problems sounds!

@Zenith Tech Twitter has that from a different angle. Like, you can absolutely make a SaaS business from nothing, run it for nothing on serverless and make $10k MRR for apparently no work.
So many pseudo influencers pushing this shit, and as far as I can tell theyāre either entirely full of shit (operating the āfake it till you make itā approach) or they have the numbers they claim, from SaaS ventures that guarantee youāve never heard of and have no idea how anybody has but that clearly theyāve done a deal with some devil to make it actually make the money they claim.
