Windows 11 often requires new hardware. But that will be extremely pricey or have very little RAM for a while.

I dont believe that a single competent person works at Micro$oft anymore, but maybe maybe this could lead them to make a less shitty OS?

And garbage software like Adobe Creative Cloud too?

They obviously dont care about users, but the pain could become too big.

    Of course, it doesn’t yet talk in Majel Barrett’s voice yet…

    That can be arranged. I’ve heard they recorded her saying a bunch of frequently used words/phrases, as well as phonetic sounds, so that her voice could be used in the future for the computer. I’m not sure how true that is, but I am a little afraid to look it up.

    I’ve always hoped to hear her in the new trek shows.

      That reminds me… about 10-15yrs ago, someone scripted and CG-animated all new TOS episodes using audio samples of the original show, uploading them to YT. Me, I found the scripts surprisingly strong and the audio surprisingly effective and smooth. Unfortunately, the animation was by far the weakest link, but that was a long time ago in terms of advances. I’d love to see a modern effort.

      Somewhat similarly, I love how these turned out:
