It's a safety system, so it's unlikely to handled by the media unit, which honestly just makes it harder.

The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming

You're forgetting the huge and much more lucrative market that is businesses. We literally can't switch away from windows because every single piece of engineering software we use only exists for windows. We can't program anything, configure anything, deploy anything or service anything if we're not running windows. Oh, a VM solution you suggest? wrong!, because the drivers needed to interface with the hardware are wonky as hell as is but inside VMs it gets the job borked half the time making my job unnecessary frustrating.

it just doesn't make much sense making that point to my comment, when it's the other user who made that type of comment.

At some point the flapping gut gets in the way of the arching

Implying they look the same is very much a "all X looks the same" statement

I mean, other than being seemingly Caucasian and thin, they all look pretty distinctly different to me.

What, people are not allowed to have a preference?

We have a massive south facing side filled with windows (and two double glass doors), covers about 80% of the living area, all blinds mounted inside. We still had 9°C lower temps inside compared to outside during the worst hours of the heat wave. Yes 28°C is still hot, but much better than the 37°C we had outside.

Yeah sure I'm not arguing it should be culled, just that calling a feature untouched by the vast majority of users beloved is incorrect.

That would just make it 5% of a vast majority, nearing 100%,, so still only a small amount of users.

I get what you're saying, but when something is only used by the small demographic that is "power users", it is not a beloved feature of the userbase as a whole.

modern Scandinavian homes have huge uncovered well insulated windows to allow the sun in as a free radiator during winter

Which of course is why you pull down the blinds to limit heating of surfaces inside during the day and let the insulation keep heat out.

Due to the high insulation this doesn't dissipate during the night in a heatwave, so it doesn't matter if the outside temp is 18°

Which is why you of course open windows during the night to cool things off when temps are lower.

it's not perfect, and helps less with high nighttime temps, but it makes the proper insulated home work with you and not against you as much as possible.

Beloved feature is only actually utilised by 5% of your users?

I mean, there is a pretty strong argument that if 95% of users don't use a function, then it is not actually beloved and just more of a niche thing that the vast majority don't care about.
