@thurrott I'm sure you have encountered this one. 23H2 asks to pin edge to the taskbar. Select "no thanks" and it pins it anyway. Enshitification strikes again.

Windows 11 taskbar with Edge pinned despite selecting "no thanks".

@rlounsbury There are a few 15-inch Chromebooks, but they're big and bulky. I'm hoping for something like the MacBook Air 15-inch with the SD X chips.

@AAKL @ppb1701 No, I think the mission is that the business needs to make sense financially. The issue as I see it is that this dribbling out of layoffs and studios is not smart for the business.

@jeffkibuule Yep. I bet they move there for AAA titles at least. COD would lose tons of money if it was Day 1 on Game Pass

I saw the @thurrott post on MS-DOS 4 being open-sourced. Cool! Or so I thought. Until I looked at it. Assembly?! Less cool for me. It's totally impressive. It's real coding—like building a house with trees, nails, a hammer, and a saw. 💪 https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0
