  2028: Windows 12 is the last last version of windows you’ll ever need.

  Tik Tok for Business©️ with Teams©️ integration opens at startup and can only be disabled in the registry. It will be reenabled at every update. Why not send a Tik Tok React©️ to your coworker for a great PowerPoint©️ presentation?

  Tik Tok accounts are all converted to Microsoft accounts and are required at installation. You already have an account, why not consume some approved content? We’ll open this handy guide in Edge to show you how!

  Just press Ctl+Alt+Win+Shift+T to open Tik Tok for Desktop, Bedrock Edition.

  Yep, but the states with sales tax get tired of getting cheated out of their tax revenue. The specific example where I saw this was a major hardware store chain in Oregon (no sales tax) right near the border of Washington (6.5% sales tax). They asked everyone “Washington or Oregon” at the register and checked ID for anyone who said Oregon.

  Quick search says that Washington considers it a “sales and use” tax, so anything purchased out of state, but intended for use in Washington is supposed to be taxed. Kinda messed up, really.

  In some cases like that, where you’re in a state that has no sales tax, but near the border of one that does, they’ll actually check ID and charge you sales tax if you’re from the sales tax state.

  And it was expensive as hell! They’re not just going to shoot all those underwater scenes and not use them.
