You’d probably die before ingesting that amount tho
My pc on win 10 took 20 to 30 min just to to start up. 🥲
Everything Xavier says is quotable.
An SSD ? It’s about disk speed. The HDDs speed limit make win 10 sluggish as hell. While not as bad, even Linux (mint) is starting to be affected by this.
Rusty goo.
Completely agree! Windows 7 was the best Windows.
