sounds interesting. what was your first scenario when you thought, “Baam! I need to automate this, and I'm going to do it right now!” ?

I'm not a Windows person at all and only follow developments in Windows drama sporadically. Is it even an option to first install an old build of Windows 11 (21H2, 22H2, 23H2, ...) and hope that an update will bring the system up to a secure state? Or will it feel like installing Windows XP in 2008?

I would recommend to visit Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, they have a lot old stuff.

When did the internet take a wrong turn?

When the nerds got a bunch of money and turned into uncaring business people.

I'd prefer we only ever produced chariots and set tax to 90%.
