Binary equivalent to Win 10 Enterprise. 22H2 is a feature update that was only for General Availability Channel (GAS). Since it amounted to little more than cosmetics and unnecessary additions (search bar back to taskbar, addition of Copilot AI crap, new themes, etc.) it wasn't pushed to Enterprise users.

Hell, I'll even make a promise to try to track you down in the apocalypse to tell you you won.

Win10 IoT is a binary equivalent to Win10 Enterprise and since Win10 is EOL'd as of last week it is a "dead end upgrade wise" as it is.The only difference is the license and the IoT LTSC license gets security updates until 2032, there are no more feature updates for Win10, so there's nothing to be missed there (which would be a thing that could be missed if you were on IoT before Win10 EOL).
Simply put, if you're on Win10 now, you can run Win10 IoT LTSC. -

All circumstantial in this instance of course, but many a person buys things based on the name of the company selling/making it alone. Since none of these wrap companies make the vinyl and are just installers, which are also a dime a dozen, it's their marketing and brand that draws customers. I wouldn't put it past a guy that stormed the capitol because his favorite fascist lost an election to pick a wrap company that reminds him of nazis. -

Then of course the price increased by $40k, muskrat outed himself as a nazi, and it turned out to be a massive pile of shit. Long since got my Benjamin back.

AugustusFerdinand FB groups aren't a good measure of actual ownership. Bots, companies that make parts, people that are just fans and can't afford the vehicle, people that hate the vehicle and join just to troll,...Do they not find the number of "owners" in their Facebook group suspicions? Based on https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-cant-rail-recall-sales-figures-2025 it is likely that there aren't even 53,000 trucks at all, meaning this random Facebook group would need approximately or exceeding 100% membership.
FB groups aren't a good measure of actual ownership. Bots, companies that make parts, people that are just fans and can't afford the vehicle, people that hate the vehicle and join just to troll, and people that just "collect" groups are all going to be in that count. Due to the "political" nature of the vehicle, there's likely a good number of oxymoronic members that both want to espouse muskrat's nazism and would never own an electric vehicle because of the "liberal" connotations of it.
My dog has facebook and instagram accounts and some of those groups have membership that exceeds original production numbers or exceeds the possible number of vehicles remaining.

Per the article this is "as low as" $45/MWh, thermal batteries appear to be between $100-145 per MWh and no special equipment, tech, or materials needed for liquid air. We've been purifying, compressing, and liquefying gases for a couple of centuries now.

Comment on Luigi Mangione wants death penalty count tossed in US CEO murder case in ~news
AugustusFerdinand In their filing, Mangione’s lawyers also urged U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett to throw out evidence from a backpack seized during his arrest, arguing officers searched his bag without obtaining a warrant. Police questioned Mangione for more than 20 minutes before reading him his rights and blocked him from leaving the McDonald’s even though they initially told him he wasn’t under arrest, according to the filing.
Seems like, I don't know, unplugging it would do so.
