    Yay, happy hail Satan day everyone. I remember when Intel chickened out and rounded up their 666 megahertz pentium 3 processors to report as being 667 megahertz. Absolute cowards, no wonder China is kicking their ass.

        And that there is no version 9: no windows 9 no iPhone 9 etc. I think it’s s unlucky number somewhere in Asia

        • Palacegalleryratio [he/him]6•6 months ago

          iirc the no windows 9 thing was actually because a lot of software ran a compatibility check like:

          if windows version = “windows 9*” then open legacy mode

          This worked for software written for newer windows like xp but still allowing a legacy mode on older windows versions like 95 and 98. Problem was this also put that same software running on windows 9 into legacy mode. So they called it windows 10 to sidestep the compatibility issues.

            It's great to see to what lengths Microsoft goes to keep backwards compatibility. Compared to how a minor glibc update broke Linux apps without much warning. Without supporting legacy workflows I don't think Microsoft would've had the market share they have today.

        In Japan it is number 4 because sound like their word for death (something among those lines)
