@Mr_A_J_ The original chart seems to have been about consumer releases. 2000 was better than XP.

@m6502 Did you just fucking skipped and ignored The Magnificent and Devine Windows 2000 Professional??? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

@billycanada @davepl1968 Removing stickers from cardboard game boxes like the old Nintendo systems.
English


Crazy example of how to remove sticky Duct Tape from Toilet Paper...
I think the chemical in question is primarily Heptane. It seems to "deactivate" the chemical bonding of the glue, at least temporarily. Pretty magical for stickers, etc. It's on Amazon at amzn.to/4uyHqBe
Whereas Goo Gone is a citrus oil and leaves a residue, heptane seems to evaporate entirely cleanly.
As I understand it, solvents like heptane actually work by temporarily penetrating and SWELLING that adhesive layer temporarily, which renders it useless.
What happens chemically:
The solvent diffuses into the adhesive.
The polymer chains separate and soften.
The adhesive loses cohesive strength and tack.
The sticker can slide or peel away cleanly.
The solvent rapidly evaporates.
The remaining adhesive either re-hardens or comes off with the label.

@aflickerofdoubt @davepl1968 Lighter fluid was recommended to me by a friend once.
English

@davepl1968 Based on the MSDS, that seems to be light petroleum naphtha. I suspect "white gas"—which is sold as a liquid "camping fuel" by brands like Coleman for camping stoves and lamps, and is essentially gasoline without any additives—and Zippo lighter fluid might also work similarly. 🤔

@m6502 LTSC10 is quite a bit better than the regular win10

@ketgolosov @azwar_rao_says @m6502 File Explorer (Windows 11) vs Dolphin (KDE's file manager on Linux).
UI is not only not good on W11, it's unpolished, unfinished, and keeps dragging UI elements and menus from +20 years ago.
Windows keeps getting worse while Linux keeps getting better and more compatible.

Nothing felt more next-gen than seeing Ridge Racer running on a PS1 for the first time.
That transition from 2D to 3D was magical.
What early 3D game made your jaw drop?

@takustaqu The original chart had consumer versions. I agree, Windows 2000 was better. XP had games support from the start but it was bloated. I didn't like the UI and always used the 9x/2000 look.

この手のグラフ書いてる連中らのXPの評価の高さがわからん。2000からすればXPなんてすべてが劣化したOSでしかなかった。

@carlo_5518 I suppose the original chart was meant to show consumer versions only.
English

@gindi4711 That's precisely the reason Windows 10 is so low. It's degraded a lot since launch.

@OneSirMeow I agree but we needed 7 to have 64 bits and SSDs. At least Microsoft got that right with 7 so that props up it.

@m6502 Everything before Vista was better than anything from Vista onwards
English

@vahue123 To be honest it's neither of those. I like to come here to have fun and see the cool things people do. My timeline is full of people programming cool games and creating hardware for 8 and 16 bit systems that are way cooler than current Windows PCs.
