So basically, taxed twice, which is unfair on Brits and others

This article says you have to change your settings to avoid being taxed by the US IR

Love the dead parrots!

It's a brave move, Splinter. I find I can rarely "go back" and read something I wrote. In fact, when I complete an article, edit/read it, and like it enough to send to the client, if I have to revisit for any reason I almost always hate it, even if it's the day after I wrote it. Don't get me started on ficition, that leaves me squirming having to go back and re-read. Worse was in university while studying creative and professional writing, a bulk of the course was writing something - sometimes in the moment - and then reading it to the class (workshopping). Every session was an exercise in taking my writing confidence outside and curb stomping it.

Recently a client was doing something to their website and we needed to go back to old content together. I was twitching doing it, even if the client was insisting the articles held up surprisingly well.

I say BRAVO! We accept that we can’t edit our own writing, but we definitely can critique it after enough time has passed. And, unfortunately, after publication.

Windows 11 Coming Soon?

I am going to have some of the embargoed press stuff from this event a few days before it goes live. I could spoiler here but don't want to get into trouble..

Although, I am still 50/50 on whether we will see a re-branding. Even some of my sources from Microsoft's media team are not sure on this, some are saying yes and others no. Windows 11 obviously goes against Microsoft's concept of Windows 10 running as a PaaS where it said Win10 would be the last Windows ever. What I know about Windows Sun Valley (21H2) is that it is not yet feature-rich enough to warrant a rebranding. The list of changes we do know about would fit into a major feature update, similar to the Creators Update a few years back.

However, Microsoft has this week cancelled all Windows preview releases on the Insider Dev channel until next month. This could be the company's way of preparing new features for what would become Windows 11 without Insiders (or anyone else) seeing them. If that's the case, I suspect a lot of ideas from the now cancelled Windows 10X will be added.

At the moment, the only reason I can see for launching Windows 11 is to give OEMs a new branding to put on their boxes to sell. "Comes with Windows 11 installed" looks better than "Now with Windows 10 November 2021 Update".

Windows 11 Coming Soon?

Is this something to look forward too!!!!

Apparently, I'm not ready for Windows 11, I just either need to find out whether my CPU has PTT, or I need to get a TPP module. I guess all the scalpers have them now, since Microshit went out of its way to have that requirement

Good info, thanks!

Lots of good reasons. Some of them would be sufficient stand-alone reasons.

Enjoyed your article, Splinter , especially the visual image of the multitasking, athletic grandmother’s cardio workout:

“Imagine granny who relies on Gmail to keep in touch with her friends and family and she receives an intimidating email such as this one. She’s going to start climbing up the walls, hitting the panic button, calling her family….”
