Decided to bring out my Windows laptop, down votes to the right.

Well this was a good way to have me actually watch the video instead of skip over the link

I found the same and I daily drove Windows 8.1 with OpenShell to the very end of support.

This isn’t the first time Microsoft has done this, I remember this being a huge gripe for me with Windows 8/8.1

Software shutdown button presser chiming in.

There’s two reasons I tend to use the software button. I know for a fact that clicking “Shut Down” will actually shut down the computer. If I press the hardware button, the computer usually is configured by default to sleep. Yes, I could change this default behaviour on all the devices I use, but then there’s the second reason:

From a psychological perspective, I tend to associate the hardware button as a “only use if system is locked up” button.

From my experience, if you’re on iOS then Brave is the only browser I know of that includes a built-in adblocker (although I have my own issues with Brave).

If you’re on Android, should be able to just install Firefox (or a fork like Fennec), tap the three dots in the app > Extensions > uBlock Origin

If you’re otherwise using the YouTube app, I don’t have much to add in that respect as I usually use Invidious or NewPipe.

I genuinely think Microsoft won’t extend anything for Win10 unfortunately, no matter how many users cling to it. I’d love to be eating my words here, but I think Microsoft would rather pull all the marketing tricks out the book to force everyone into Win11.
