Alright, after using a keyboard with one for a while I am now convinced that a rotary encoder is the best way to implement dedicated volume controls on a keyboard. Being able to combine volume up/down and mute into a single thing on your keyboard is legitimately nice, while also helping keep the bezel down.

people keep criticizing apple for planned obsolescence of their (pretty expensive) products and contributing to ewaste a lot for a company that pledges to be better about that
so anyway here's microsoft forcing the obsolescence of every windows computer older than 4 years old and contributing tons to ewaste
(to be clear, if you criticize either company for doing this you are absolutely right for doing so)

So you're disabling a check for required functionality, great. Prepare for unintended obscure side effects and people subsequently going "my Windows doesn't work" while conveniently hiding they modified the OS or its requirements.
Mind you, I'm not saying this is the optimal way to run Windows 11.

I can understand wanting something, but I don't understand this sometimes near obsession of people to demand to be able to run everything on every potato to god tier machine imaginable when it comes to new "cutting edge" (for lack of a better term in my mind at the moment) stuff.
Considering I play games with friends a lot, that Direct Storage feature would be nice to have since my crusty hard drives can be a bit slow. In addition, I don't like Windows 10! Not anymore, anyway. The twice-yearly feature updates have broken so many things and required me to redo my entire audio setup several times now, and for the longest time Microsoft was more concerned with adding new features nobody ever ended up using (remember all those 3D tools they added in the Creators Update? lol) than fixing bugs. In addition, there are some bugs that have yet to be fixed, like if I were to open up Search....
Why? Why does it keep opening up like this, and not halfway without also blacking out the rest of my screen? I've reported this bug to Microsoft and it's still going on! But hey, we got the weather and more ads on our taskbar now so... cool, I guess?

Well that is one I haven't seen before. I do agree that Search is... less than optimal.

Fair enough. Didn't know Direct Storage would be Windows 11 exclusive now.

At least it's better than search in Open Shell. I can give it that much.
