I hate to give Apple any ideas... but I've always wondered why macOS/iOS support falling back to software rendering, when all of their devices ship with a known GPU configuration. Without that fallback, getting the OS running on non-Apple hardware would take a lot more work.

With optimal play, is there ever a reason to make a move that's not an integral value?
Also, to the extent there is a benefit, does the full set of floating points (presumably) get more advantage than just the positions located midway between regular adjacent positions? And how big an advantage does it offer? Could someone with access to the floats beat someone ranked 500 points higher who doesn't?
I imagine it's pretty powerful to put your queen on the corner of 4 squares so it can capture along two ranks and two files.

Oof. That full page carousel is HARSH.
Having a time limit to read the page that I'm on? No thanks.
At least it's on-brand.
If I knew I only had a few weeks/months of freedom left, I'd spend my time doing something other than writing blog posts.
How about mDNS and / or a DHCP-server?
Last I checked, mDNS didn't support Windows (requirement for our household) but it looks like it does now. I'll play with it next time I set up a new machine.
It's not that disabling any of that on Windows is hard.
It is what MIGHT happen after.
That critical ERP/Invoice/Fileshare Server 2003 and the business critical printer from 2001 might still need SMBv1.
NETBIOS is still used in modern stuff, no?
We can't really just disable it willy-nilly.

Yes, every L2 IT helpdesk can push a GPO out. It's what the GPO does that is the issue.
> NETBIOS is still used in modern stuff, no?
Even as a Linux guy I like to have netbios enabled since it gives you automatic DNS entries for all the hostnames on your network. I love being able to `ssh me@my-nas` without having to deal with hosts files and static IPs.
Do you use a security key?
It seems like you need a Microsoft Account otherwise.

No security key, just my face. That link also seems to say it can be used without an online account. Hence my question.
I imagine there is also loss involved in gas transport to hundreds of thousands of homes versus a single pipe to a power station
There's also losses when transporting electricity. A pipe can be made perfectly airtight, but a wire cannot be made perfectly efficient*
