Same applies to the individual apps if I'm not mistaken, naroon.

As the initial article indicates, I believe you may use WB & Start10/11 on up to 5 of your personal devices &/or VM's.

Get well quick, Chasbo. Almost everyone does with this variant, but fatigue in particular can linger up to a few weeks.

Even Hulu subscribers have to put up with that crap on their 'freevee' offerings. Makes them unwatchable.

Reply to Windows 12? in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

My take is that Windows 12 won't be just a hardware-sales strategy, but the next step toward funneling all Windows software through the Microsoft Store so they can take their cut there too. Won't happen quickly or easily, but they can smell it.

Rather amused that Pfizer's CEO has COVID. My dark side sometimes just can't keep quiet. Wouldn't wish it on anyone, but...

I'd say that qualifies as good news. Sorry you had to go through that period of uncertainty but all's well that... you know the rest. (Guess it's a good thing they didn't scan your head?)

Can't offer specific medical advice but if it were me, consultation with a cardiothoracic surgeon should be arranged soon. There's enlargement (ectasia) and then there's aneurysm. Matter of degree but the distinction is important. Wishing all the best for you.

Thoughts are with ya, RND. Treatment options are generally very good.

Would depend on the OS, I would think. If it has a standard version of Windows 10, most of the OD apps would be compatible. Some of the apps are still undergoing development to make them compatible with Win11.

I've been using a VPN for so long it sometimes slips my mind in these discussions. Regardless of browser, a VPN is highly advisable, if not mandatory for maximal security. They are not expensive. My preferred at present is NordVPN. I wouldn't trust a free one.

I had been hoping DDG was working on a full-fledged PC browser for some time. Now, not so much. Brave appears to be about as 'private' as you can currently get.

Shame is, DuckDuckGo's browser for iOS is really nice & has been my default there for some time. Fortunately, Brave for iOS is quite nice as well.

Disappointed in DuckDuckGo, to say the least. Switching to Brave's integrated search for now.
