BTW the apps were not crashing because of no service pack. They work in a VM on a newer PC. The video also shows they still crashed on Windows 7 SP1

Windows Vista had a bad reputation because when it was new, most people had computers like this. It's slow and it doesn't look pretty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx2nKtFPYhk

Another thing that the last SteamOS update did was delete Haruna media player that was previously included. Installing VLC from Discover (software centre) was no problem though

SteamOS 3.8.11 released to fix getting stuck on the Desktop Mode lock screen

With the huge SteamOS 3.8 update now out, a few hiccups were expected - but thankfully, they’ve already patched one of the major annoyances.

Updated to the newest version of SteamOS, which switches the Linux windowing system from X11 to Wayland. Now the virtual keyboard in desktop mode lock screen does not appear, making unlocking impossible without connecting an external keyboard.
This is a specialised distro made for this hardware, and it still has stupid little issues. I try my best to enjoy Linux, but things like this are why I still use Windows #steamdeck #steamos

“Hello, your parcel is on hold at the GLS centre due to a problem with theaddress [sic]. Update your details on the GLS site:”

What are the chances of getting a scam text like this when you’re actually waiting for a parcel delivery? Apart from the pathetic phishing URL and the typo, my item was shipped by another company, not GLS

When Apple announces the next Mac OS version for ARM Macs only, everyone will say x86 Mac and hackintosh are "dead".
And yet, right now, people are also saying that the current version (Tahoe) sucks and you should use an older one. By these standards, you've already reached "death"!

TIL about the Microsoft secure boot certificates expiring soon. On my computer Windows Security says the needed updates are applied, so that's good.

On the newer device it’s more legible (nice try for planned obsolescence) but it’s advertising Twitter for some reason
