Windows 10 Pro, I've installed it about 40 times or more. Domain Join is the option to create a local account. It works, I do it every install, while connected to network.
>It's like healthcare in the US: Since people can't opt out of it
We do not have a national healthcare system as most of the world does. We are not forced to have healthcare. Yes there are provisions of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that charge a tax penalty if you are not covered or exempt.
>I don't know the realities of the weird city life Americans experience, but the places I've lived in Europe make this trivial.
I have lived in poor rural America. Here is some information for you that might help: There are no forms of public transportation. You are required to own your own car or have someone drive you. Work is usually 1 hour or more away. The grocery store is usually 30 minutes to 1 hour away. There are usually fast food restaurants within a few miles. Don't forget that America is gigantic in area and very spread out in the rural areas. However after telling you this, when I was a child we did go grocery shopping and ate things like crock pot roast beef and hamburger helper.
I haven't had any experience with cheap current generation CPUs. Have you any experience with ones such as an Intel Celerons that are about $30 on Amazon?
It seems, after reading all of these comments that the ONLY significant improvement of highdpi is Font Rendering. I am a 3d artist and do not run HiDPI as it is a waste for my user case. I can see how most people don't do artwork and prefer the font rendering of HiDPI. Please don't think we all want nice font rendering, sometimes we need that 100% scaling.
16:10 was the perfect aspect ratio. I held onto my 24" 1920x1200 Dell Monitor until just last year. I recently tried to upgrade to a new 16:10 and it was impossible. Disappointing.
Not everyone is a rich American or European, many people live in what would be considered a poor country. They might have a core2duo if very lucky. The entitlement on this website is getting out of hand.
I just upgraded my CPU and kept my GPU, an older Nvidia 960 GTX. My CPU was a Q6600 and now I have a Ryzen 2700X. CPU matters so much it's amazing. Some games are heavy on the GPU and some are heavy on the CPU. Depends on what kind of things they have going on.
