I always see the degradation argument.

I look after my vinyl with a properly calibrated turntable.

I will degrade faster than my records!

I had a habit of collecting white labels and test pressings of house and dance tracks, I have no idea what most of them are called or who they are by, but I can think of one and remember where it is in the crates.

If I had a load of Track 1's in iTunes, I wouldn't have a clue!

When HT first started appearing on P4 chips I was looking after NetWare, 2K and XP boxes, they would freak out with HT enabled all kinds of oddities, I suspect most because of the OS's not fully supporting it.

To this day I disable it by reflex on everything!

I have deployed LTSB in a few schools I look after, it's far easier because of the minimal feature set especially in smaller environments where full enterprise management tools like System Centre and WSUS are not installed.

Go old school and customise the default profile in the build for best results!

The best part is that if you have education volume License You get both EDU and Ent LTSB editions!

I have children with communication and social issues (ASD).

My side projects have changed from web apps things to:

Learning makaton.

Making and laminating pictures (PECS) so my youngest can use them to communicate.

Attending various classes relating to ASD.

Fixing IT and Telecoms for the various local charity organisations that support us.

You just have to play the hand your delt the best you can.

I look after a pfsense box for a school on a 9 year old E2200 that is obsolete by this.

On one hand I cannot complain because the server is 9 years old and lasted well, but on the other hand, why not an option for those just needing a packet filter to bypass this?

Am I missing something?
