Honestly it's probably mostly immigrants on a work visa and people who haven't found another job and can't afford to quit without something lined up. Sure, some of them are still there because they're Elon stans, but I don't think even they would last long without extenuating circumstances.

In the case of business's, liability reasons, real and imagined, mostly prevent just "switching" OS's freely.
In the case of home users, think of how many people you know that have a windows computer. Now how many of those people can you confidently say could install ANY OS, let alone handle setting up Linux or bypassing TPM requirements for W11?
Personally, out of the hundreds of people I know with a windows computer, I can count on my fingers how many I'm confident in being able to install an OS. Most people are really not tech savvy. They will just ride it out with no security patches until it becomes Jenn's laptop from the IT Crowd, and then they'll chuck it in the garbage.
use your proprietary software in the OS you are allowed to use. Not seeing the issue.
The OS they are able to use is Windows 10. They likely don't meet the TPM requirements to update to Windows 11(as if you'd wanna use it anyways); so when W10 goes EoL, they will be SoL(shit out of luck) on getting future security patches. Which is y'know, bad, especially on the machine you do actual work on.

A lot of us came from reddit where it was considered taboo to use emojis.
This thread asked about the most absurd, not the most dangerous.
Your order being fucked up or undercooked, or having an allergic reaction is a valid reason to have your meal comped, merely not liking the food is not a valid reason. It sucks you didn't like it, but it's no fault of the restaurant. That's what you ordered. It doesn't matter you only took two bites of it, all the restaurant can legally do with it is throw it in the trash, so it's still a loss for them.
Exactly. I would've left this country years ago if it was that simple. I can't afford to vacation in Canada, let alone move there, and I live in a northern state.
Who made you the authority on memes? Oh right, nobody.
So with the exact same amount of authority on the subject as you: Yes that is how internet memes work.
How you like it? If this were a human being, I'd shoot it in the face.
This. They really need to start including both low dynamic range AND high dynamic range audio options in home/streaming releases of movies, and TV should exclusively be LDR if they can't simulcast the the different audio signals.
HDR audio sounds amazing and is totally worth it when you have the right audio equipment, so it shouldn't stop existing entirely, but it's bullshit that people that don't have that equipment get an even worse experience than LDR as a result.
Yep and that's all that they care about. When the company's fortunes start to turn the execs will jump out with their golden parachute and not give a fuck.
