I'm not just saying it to say it - there were multiple, fatal problems
with 20H2 on the old machine.  I couldn't even keep it on when I went
to bed, because of the racing fan, trying to keep up with M$ stealing
CPU cycles, which on that chip was draining.  On a *timed schedule*, I
kid you not, the system would blue screen, about every three days,
always the same mysterious bug-check code, something about memory not
available yet even going to 16 GB didn't fix it.  It was a *FUCKING
DISASTER*.  The very same OS I first installed on the new machine, on
which is was a dream.

Meanwhile, the old computer had four times the cores, 2.8 times the
minimum clock speed, and four and then eight times the minimum RAM. M$
turned Win10 into a beta of Win11, and eventually those builds were
the only supported ones.  They *lie* about system requirements.

It'd be an interesting experiment, but it's not about benchmarks of
apps, it's about the OS even functioning in a basic, correct way. This
is why Linux is going to gain more and more.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
