I did task rabbit for a while a few years back and put together a fair number of IKEA ones. They aren’t the cheapest but damned if they aren’t solid af.

Not if I stop you! leans back in chair
There’s no debate, it’s pizza.
Welcome to “windows as a service”. At this point Windows is basically like a freemium app.
Bruh, till I read this I was so confused, like Adobe is taking on Adobe? lol, what?
One small change can lead to a totally divergent path. Think about it this way. You are supposed to meet your SO today at work. But you forgot to brush. No big deal. Right? Well your SO says hello, so you say it back and then she gets a whiff. Well end of conversation and that’s that. No wife. No kids. Not with her.
Or maybe you miss that buss that you barely caught. Or maybe you win the lotto at 19 and that changes everything for you.
You’re thinking wrong if you think lives have to be drastically different in every way for it to manifest as a whole new life. It can be the smallest thing but that tiny, infinitesimal thing can lead to a cascade of change or shunt people down an entirely different path.
Lastly, your ancestors would also be subject to these events, making all their lives very different as well.
Butterfly Effect.
You don’t sound like you weren’t around the Windows Vista/Longhorn development days when they promised a successor to NTFS and then over the course of the next couple of years, would bail on that (and nearly every other promise made).
WinFS: https://www.zdnet.com/article/bill-gates-biggest-microsoft-product-regret-winfs/
And FWIW, they are developing ReFS, which looks like it will finally supplant NTFS, but given MS’ business model, don’t expect NTFS to ever really disappear.
There is no ecosystem as mature, polished and integrated as Apple’s. I am all in with them and the way all their devices and services work together is just marvellous.
But the answer to your general question is you will need to go all in on a single company. And TBH, you should. They are all bad to some degree. But cobbling together a pipeline of various manufacturers will always result in a terrible experience, and you’ll be generally paying the same for it anyway.

What “inspired by”, buddy literally just jacked that X from the font. What a company boy…
PS: FWIW, Musk says that’s the “interim” logo (lol).
User: Hey new Siri, turn the living room lights off. New Siri: Ok I’ve hired a hit man to kill your grandma. User: thanks… wait what? New Siri: What?
Yeah I think he’s saying better for us, not better for you
xBender isn’t wrong tho
Your fiver profile said you could do this bro! Ok try now. Nope! Now? Bro. Ok hold up, lemme search Google right quick.
Yeah it made pretty big headlines. It wasn’t so much the DRM but more the way they went about sneaking it onto people’s systems. And even after people were exploiting the kit, Sony did this:
“Russinovich noted that the removal program merely unmasked the hidden files installed by the rootkit but did not actually remove the rootkit.”
There are few companies I will never support. Sony is one of them. They have absolute seething hate and disrespect for their customers.
I see this as a good thing. Now Reddit has to bear the cost. Even if they find replacement volunteers, some employee still has to make that happen. Likely several. It’s costing them. And that’s what the goal was. To weigh them down.
I was hoping every mod would walk away. All at once. Like you say you can run it all, there you go.
I really loved The Art of Deception. So many fascinating cases.
Yeah he talks about it in his book which is a fascinating read due to all the anecdotal stories he injects. Highly recommend!
What a time to be a hacker tho, back in those times when cops didn’t even know what a computer was lol.
RIP
EDIT: The book is The Art of Deception: https://www.mitnicksecurity.com/bestselling-books-by-kevin-mitnick
TBH all the models were quite good. Never had one that wasn’t solidly built. I think the Bekant was the best but also likely their most expensive.
