For some actual numbers, Valve had sold ~4 million steam decks since it was released over 3 years ago.

Nintendo has sold ~150 million switches to date. And they sold nearly 18 million of them in its first full year (2017).

Where are you that you don’t do Easter egg hunts anymore? They’re still pretty popular in my part of the Midwest US. Hell, it’s not even a religious thing anymore haha

Sure but the vast majority of profession CAM software only runs on windows. Autodesk, SolidWorks, Mastercam, and Siemens NX all only have windows versions.

And I think you’d be shocked at how many industrial machines do run on specialized embedded windows machines and not just little esp32 microcontrollers.

Sure maybe for API and software type things but I’ve never seen an actual person email an XML or JSON file to another person.

I have seen XML but XLSX and XML are pretty similar

The only one i know of is rendering. Blender is open source and from the Netherlands (iirc) and just as powerful as anything else on the market.

Ubuntu Server supports Windows Active Directory. I haven’t used it for anything but authentication (and authentication works flawlessly) and some basic directory/share permissions but theoretically it should support group policy too.

It’d be cool if there was a mainstream FOSS alternative though (there might be, I’ve done literally 0 research), but this works okay-ish in the meantime.

But for management of the actual production servers at work I use a combination of ManageEngine (super great and reasonably priced) and Microsoft’s Entra (doesn’t work well, don’t do it)

To be fair, this camera was put in the water in the 1970s…

Because I read the article I actually know the answer! It’s the first time this technology has been used in a human, and it’s been a huge success so far. Quote from the article

The BiVACOR total artificial heart, invented by Queensland-born Dr Daniel Timms, is the world’s first implantable rotary blood pump that can act as a complete replacement for a human heart, using magnetic levitation technology to replicate the natural blood flow of a healthy heart.
