Re: “and you may finally get to see your family on the weekends.”...

A simple sentence has never made me so angry such as this.

And then, they want you to pay extra for it. For their failure. That you have to fix. It's utterly astounding.

Next gen?

I wouldn't say BTRFS or ZFS are still considered 'next gen' , I'd say they are current gen.

The next hot-shit/up and coming file system looks like it'll probably be bcachefs, and even then that is really mimicking their features, rather than introducing something new, it's just a new code base.

I don't think referring to Windows 95 as an epoch is a good idea

"USB-HID is a very old standard, dating back to Windows 95..."

I mean, it's not entirely incorrect, but it also feels very lazy.

14-07-1995 - Windows 95 released

30-01-1996 - v1.0 of the USB HID was released

27-08-1997 - Windows 95 v4.03.1212 released (gained USB support).

31-12-2001 - Windows 95 extended support ended.

It's only a 6.5 year period I guess, but still.

Also, making references to MS OS' within the article (there's more than just this one) doesn't make it feel balanced, more like the writer leans a certain way.

Patching Windows Server without needing to reboot is a handy feature – but it's only available on Azure

Meanwhile Linux users are all like...
