But the though... aw.

At this point just using *any* Microsoft product, let alone Windows, is inherently a security risk.

Complaining (sorry) 

Arguing online is annoying, it seems like my points never get across

Windows 10 dies Oct 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy new hardware. But if your PC’s from after 2010, it’s not obsolete — just held back. If you install Linux there are no license fees, no forced upgrades, no ads and spyware. You can find help at the endof10.org/

Current thoughts on #DonkeyKongBananza… it’s grown on me a lot. The controls and mechanics are excellent, the worlds are all fun and well designed, and the atmosphere is top notch throughout.

If you liked Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie or Super Mario Odyssey, you’ll love this game.

Some main project goals:
* Not too many 74-series chips required to create. [Terribly rough estimate: under 150 chips]
* The ISA and physical architecture elegantly line up.
* The ISA doesn't highly prioritize ISA future-proofing.
* Not a drag to asm program in!
* About as powerful as a 16-bit machine might be expected to be. Practical (not like Ben Eater's CPU), but more barebones than Bill Buzbee's CPU.
* No microcode -- pure bare-metal.
