It seems I never got around to watching this particular video, thanks for linking it!

I absolutely agree with Tom Scott's conclusion, Windows will absolutely enable you to do whatever it is you want, regardless how stupid, and most likely without too much low-level jank that most people can't/won't deal with.

I haven't watched till the end of it, but he's on and on about bodging rather than computer science, and all I've gotta say is "sounds like he wished he knew how to use linux". Worse is better is not computer science.

I'm not sure why we're linking to, let alone deferring to, an entertainer like Tom Scott on HN.

(Tom Scott's fine, but I would never look to him for technical advice or direction.)
