Its nice when "supporting" happens to align with better/more options in the future.

You didn't knock you see..
Typing anything like a website for the apple TV is the most excruciatingly annoying thing ever, it could only be described as torture. I would punch the executives that approved the design.
The shitty iOS input via annoying notification prompts when anyone in the house uses the TV are not a solution either, since they get so annoying you have yo disable them.
Nice try 8-bit guy! We're on to you ;)
On the other hand, there are people wasting our time (relatives) and have no data in the machine which is a glorified browser.
For them I installed Linux mint, left a 200x200 Firefox icon on the desktop (which they already used) and called it a day.
If they accidentally hit the mute button on the YouTube page, that was going to happen regardless and I'll get to it when I get to it next time I visit (if I have time). It's kind of amazing how they can resolve it themselves when you don't solve the issue for them quickly.
Edit: my point was: their desire for no change does not come before my desire to have an up to date secure OS for them to use (even of it's just YT browsing)
TBF Bluetooth sucks a lot. To this day I need to power cycle the phones Bluetooth connection and headphones connect button a few times for it to pair properly some times. Different brands and headphones, silly different issues for all. Want to use your headphones for more that a phone and laptop? Maybe on a third device like a TV or desktop? Fuck you.
Yes, but it can be involved and one mistake means your email could potentially never make it to peoples inbox as it will be seen as spam, etc. Not even mentioning that if your server was offline for an extended period of time (e.g. 2-5 day vacation), you could lose incoming messages.
They can also read your more personal emails if the other party uses gmail regardless of what you use. The best you can do is try to distance your different "online personas" by separating personal emails, purchases and other use cases keeping Google out of as many as you can without needing other people to also jump ship.
Kind of matters to some of us whose parents can't go to the grocery store without being profiled despite all things being in order because of how they look to other people.
Having to install powetoys on top of the OS makes it DOA for many on corporate environments. You get stuck on approval limbo or if someone else went through the pain, you discover it breaks every once in a while due to missing .net dependencies that you don't have the right to install. I've seen this for both development (w10 w/ extended support) and thin clients (w11).
Unfortunately our clients all use Windows development machines, so we are stuck on the same to be able to write the guides and documentation. Most of our scripts now rely on Got bash since we know that's available. MS environments are hostile to proper scripting and automation.
Artwork looks amazing, seems a lot of polish went into it.
Don't worry, with JFK Jr. Help you'll die old and sick on the farm.
