Win did another stupid update and broke my Agent newsgroup browser.

It offered to fix it and I let it try; then it broke everything. My
desktop regressed about 30 years.

It's all mostly fixed now.

Cf.
"MegaScoria
Microsoft Sprachrekorder 10.2103.28.0 (on Windows 10) perpetrates too
many unauthorised terminations of recordings at circa 2 hours and 52
minutes and 58 seconds. Sound Recorder (on Windows 7) and a recorder
(on Android) by ECARD S A/JACEK KINECK do not do this. "Newer doesn't
mean better. Newer means newer!" said a physicist during 2010. (Alas a
video application on Android annoyingly becomes stopped without
warnings within minutes.)

MegaScoria makes bugs but persons still use Windoze! (Access this
hyperlink then press "TECHNICAL".)

"Windows 10 is being updated way too frequently (twice a year) and
each new version changes something that breaks Classic Shell."
complains a Classic-Shell programmer since 2017.

"Like DOS programs, and unlike UNIX programs, Jhead gives feedback as
to what it is doing, even when nothing goes wrong. Windows user that I
am, when something doesn't give me feedback for 20 seconds, I assume
it[']s crashed." says

It is a pity that Canon supports a restricted selection of operating
systems for my good Canon Pixma GM4050 MegaTank Printer.

We're designing a new product line using the R Pi RP2040 dual-core
ARM. We're programming bare-metal c.

A lot of people are eager to switch but can't have down time during the learning curve. A transition could get moving if computer stores would
just give short courses in Linux.
