USB devices are also hotpluggable, but that doesn’t mean that the data stays in the system if you just pull out the HDD.

I switched mostly to Linux when windows 8 was released, but I don’t mind 11. It looks quite nice, the start menu is pretty good and normal again compared to the ugly full screen shitshow from windows 8 and the weird hybrid thing from windows 10 and most of that foreign mobile metro crap from windows 8 is gone again or reintegrated into the desktop.

Having tabs in the explorer is also super nice.

After WW2 it was more like they split Germany into parts and “occupied” the remaining industry and workforce for reparations. There wasn’t much of the original Reich left that could’ve paid reparations.

The basic software like the Intellij Community Edition is also fully open source. (And it’s not actually basic at all. It’s a great full featured IDE)

Basically you’re only paying for their support/updates and for specific language and toolkit support, which makes sense to me. They need to pay their staff somehow.

It’s not comparable to Adobe or other crappy manufacturers where you own nothing.
