And ephemeral unless you specifically wanted to save something. Since I got win 11 at work instead of disappearing on reboot the next time I open it I get 50 fucking notepad instances and I can’t find the actual doc that would’ve been useful to save because its in a background tab. Fuck this shit.

Hahah, no doubt, while popping in and out of the outage call repeating the phrases “can I get an update?”, " Is there an ETA on recovery?" and “We need to get this back online”

Fair enough, what’s software/hardware support like in general?

I’d imagine chip design is sufficiently complex that you could both be competent and not have a fucking clue what’s causing this. A recall is bound to be cheaper than the impact this is going to have on customer trust. Not only are they the lower performance chips, they’re buggy lower performance chips.

I think they mean Linux
