Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11

UI of limited choice

I clicked on the upgrade link in Windows 10 my initial impression, the first 5 minutes, was seems OK but probably unnecessary. Then I tried to customise the task-bar only to find it cannot be placed to the left or right. As the registry hacks to fix this where ignored or automatically rolled back I hit the revert to Win 10 button without delay. Probably the smallest of the erosions of freedom from MS but enough to put me off for a year or two.

Socket to the energy bill: 5-bed home with stupid number of power outlets leaves us asking... why?

British Socket in the UK - BS 1363:

The nail will only fit in the where the Earth pin goes. Live and Neutral are shuttered. No electrocution!

The standard has been around since 1947.

But you guys in SA are probably using round pin sockets based on BS 546 which predates 1947 - so KZERRRRRRRRRRRRRT it is.
