Putin is a War Criminal
I was really annoyed that I was going to have to buy a new Windows laptop because the windows laptop I use, even though it's an I7 with 16GB of RAM, was not compatible with Windows 11, according to Windows 11. I was in the process of trying to decide if I could get by with just a tablet when out of the house rather than spending money on another new laptop when I don't really need it like I used to.
However, I found a tool to upgrade Windows 10 computers that seem perfectly compatible with Windows 11 for 99.9% of what one might do. I upgraded my laptop using this method, and I have had no issues so far with Windows 11. I'm thinking I may never have them. Time will tell.

They have been continuing to update this process often as they find issues, but I have found none so far.

I have switched almost all devices to Win11 and it said it should not run on any of them. So you can also produce useless garbage....

Why not switching to Unix ? Some Linux distributions could turn your 16gb ram i7 into a powerhouse. Execution can be extremely fast and power usage very efficient.

Linux might be the best way to prevent e-waste.

I've worked with Ubuntu and Mint and a couple of other distros, but I've always gone back to using windows on my own computers. If I had something really under powered I might switch to it, but since I've got plenty of power I'm more comfortable in windows. I just didn't want to be forced to buy another box.

He will be going on about the Russia Quake now saying how bad it is and how they need to look strongly into why this has happened? Its perhaps some creature inside the earth that we now need to look strongly into how much we can tariff the creature.

The BS will deffo be flowing as long as this guy is president.

I have always supported small metal machine artists, metal work and high quality machined metal parts - watches, pens, pencils, audio, metal sculpture - but I have never tried to get into finery myself. Artisan work is not big business, it supports individual families and craftsman. One would hope that's how society would operate under libertarian communism, is you would have things built by people who care about designing things without programmed obsolescence. It's disturbing to me that people play a trick, that basically implies that if you want communism, you should stop caring about having nice things. But it is capitalism which destroys creativity by offering up cheap junk, and programming their junk to be obsolete. Capitalism is to blame for cheap garbage, which is all the poor can afford.

Fredy Perlman in Against His-Story, Against Leviathan speaks of the artisan in history as one who does things for the temple, as opposed to one who does things for the market. If I were to do anything at all besides buy nice goods, it would be to bind my own books. But the problem is, while I'm sure I could commission books for people, I would probably want all the books for myself. I would need a guillotine for chopping paper, and I would need somehow to print out pages of books, in high quality paper. I would love to produce buckram books with high quality marbled end pages, and either sell them or keep them as my own rebound copy of the book. It cost around 300 dollars to get a paperback custom rebound with buckram, and marbled end pages. Probably way over-priced, I have seen book rebound to cloth for libraries, there's no way the library pays 300 dollars for every book they re-bind.

G-Shock 5000 series solar radio calibrated stainless steel anniversary edition
Modern fuel titanium pencil (it has no plastic, and has an optional metal eraser plug you can add
Zero Tolerance steel pocket knife (for opening packages mostly)
My custom made Phenomenology of Spirit, rebound from the paperback by a book-binder to preserve my vast page notes
The Dynavap xl titanium stem attached to the Simrell titanium extraction engine (I plan to get a Simrell titanium stem once they release them again)
Chill Steel Pipe
The Libertarian Reader volume 4 edited by Iain McKay
David Graeber's Debt book in hardcover and a polyester jacket.
The Pasolini box set is of a great director, but Criterion cut corners, and overpriced it; also the CD sleeves are too tight and cheap and damage the CD.

I'd be interested if anyone else has durable items they wanted to share.
