I just got awnings installed two months ago on the windows that get sun for most of the day. It dropped the temps in those rooms by almost 8 degrees Celsius on hot days. The AC even runs less during the day now.

They're simple retractable awnings that a local guy installed for me. I used to hate the idea of awnings, but the thought about IR heat getting trapped clicked with me recently and suddenly the idea of awnings seemed brilliant.

What the fuck, MIcrosoft.

Ok, honest question. Are you surprised?

If it was any other company I would be. But it's Microsoft.

This continues to highlight the dangers of having all your eggs in one companies basket, by choosing comfort and convenience you've given your entire digital life over to a company that has no compunctions against metaphorically guillotining it for any reason they want.

I agree. Which is why I don't use anything Microsoft. Even in software projects I go out of my way to not use a single Microsoft dependency or library.

I self-host my own photo auto-upload with Nextcloud. I don't use Windows. I'm forced to use MS stuff at my work but I managed to get the company-wide policy changed to allow anyone to use Linux or Mac, so I'm running Ubuntu.

I've also been working up the effort to ditch stock Android and go with GrapheneOS.

They take getting caught seriously, not the stuff they get caught at.

This is it exactly. They (gov) literally don't care if anyone gets hurt, they just care what the world's perception of them is.
