  • I'm late to this, but really, for questions like these, you really need to state two things:

    1. Roughly where you live. If I recommend something from Indonesia, and you live in the UK, that's not going to cut it, is it?
    2. A hard number for a budget, cheap has different meanings to different people across income groups. Cheap to me as broke student in my 20s is different from me as a working adult in my 40s.
  • Then why're you even commenting in an area that you don't partake in? This is like saying "I don't get why people buy sports cars" in a forum of racing enthusiasts. Or saying "I don't see the need for cast iron woks" when you're happy to have boiled pasta every day.

  • I don't really care about that as long as it doesn't interfere with my daily use; that's what I really dislike whenever MS adds something to Edge, it adds cruft to the UI, and also why I get the complaints about ads in the Start Menu (I'm not in the USA, never had ads in the Start Menu ever). That shit would be so infuirating.

  • I've got Win 11 on my laptop on with the last update I think it's ok to use now. What's wrong with it?

    Not a privacy freak, but still concerned about the overheads with sending unncessary data too. And I really just want an OS, not a nanny on the desktop. Copilot in Edge is useful but I hate the nagging about using it.

  • Have you tried installing a copy of Windows in Dosbox, then install the game from there? I remember doing something like that to play the original SimTower.

    Very likely the game is 16 bit mode, which is why nothing in Windows 10's compatibility mode is working, as it doesn't support 16 bit programs.

  • Nevermind that, an approach like what Sharp and the old PDAs did with transflective displays would be pretty neat too. But I suspect what'll happen is that they'll be called out for not providing "rich colours and deep blacks".
