I’m not upgrading because I don’t trust Windows 11. Not that 10 has my confidence, of course, but 11 seems worse.

Windows 95 had to change the time zone selection map because of disputed borders.

The value of the DNS is that we all use the same one. You can declare independence, but you’d lose out on that value.
