Farfetched ... I mean that you buy something and then you demand a refund. It should be sold without Windows in first place. As per Windowsless laptops, there are Framework, Tuxedo at very least and I'm sure others, as well as selected ones from big manufacturers. Vote with your wallet...

    Sure, but deal with it before buying it. This is something that should be handled at EU level (or another entity that supervises fair trade) anyway, pressure them to put it into law. Buying such laptops and later demand refund, unless supported by dealer/manufacturer, is not a proper way IMO. Do not get me wrong, I'm with you, it's just the way that doesn't seem right.

    Did anybody manage to drive three 4K@60 displays with just the iGPU of a 9900X or forthcoming X3D? The displays should be all DP or HDMI, but not a mix, so a KVM switch can be used. From what I see, mobos have at best two USB4 ports that each could drive 2 DP displays. In theory, that is. While CPU should be able to drive three such displays. I'm not into gaming or such, just need displays for development and want to avoid unnecessary discrete GPU and it's power draw if possible.

     

    Hopeful Jonas recovered after all the injuries, but I somehow doubt it that he'll be at 100% after those injuries without much time to recover. While I'm rooting for PogRog, I fear a repeat of Giro, where Pog dominated and made it boring to watch. Or perhaps Remco will kick in, but then again he was also injured and didn't do well at Dauphine. What's you take?

     

    Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.
