Microsoft Windows / Re: Windows 11

Yeah it's definitely me. It was a selfie taken at home and I simply used illustrative style for image generation without any additional text prompt.
Yes iPhone or any Apple devices are restrictive but EU version will soon have third party stores including Brazil, India, Vietnam and other South east Asian countries.
I simply moved because Google started blocking side load which they backtracked after 2 months and by that time I already switched.
Then again battery life is insane with lot of apps than android because every small things have native iOS apps than android. I felt the quality of apps to be better on iOS especially background data and battery usage. It's absolute madness how they have better battery with 3000 mAH than my 4600 mAH Pixel with slow SoC that barely lasts a full day.

Thank you. It was generated by Apple Intelligence and I could never re-generate it again. Currently I'm using iPhone 17 migrating from Pixel 7 due to calls getting missed without any notification and most of them get phone switched off or network unavailable.

I certainly don't blame you for switching to an iPhone if the pixel was giving you trouble. Do all the phone's apps have to come from the Apple store, or does it allow you to sideload without jailbreaking? My problem with iPhones isn't that they don't work, but that they're very restrictive.

As for the picture. First: is the guy in the picture really you? If so, then how did you do this? Did you [for example] take a selfie and upload it to the phone, then give their AI instructions to put you in a business suit?

Congrats on your channel. You look cute in that business suit. Hey let me ask: what phone do you use? Is it a Pixel or what?

Actually, it was industrial pizza, you may have noticed it. Since it was a frozen product, I put it in the oven to cook it. I only ate hale of the pizza and put the rest in the fridge for later.

Pizza like this is available just about anywhere. It's frozen and you just put it in the oven.

Actually, I heard of the Olympic games of Grenoble, but I just had to check when they took place since it was a long time ago. It was in 1968, 57 years ago. I guess you watched them on TV. In fact, there is a neighborhood that was built especially for the athletes known as "village olympique".

I was a child at the time and TV coverage was nowhere near what it today. My father spent a fortune buying a color TV that didn't work very well. Every 2-3 months we had to bring in a repairman to change out vacuum tubes that kept burning out all the time. As for the games themselves, looking at Google maps I'm seeing there are mountains to the east of there. I'm assuming the games were played there.

You're in the north of Grenoble. Since you've been on the forum how many times have you moved? I recall no less than 3 places (or cities). I assume you pay rent. Buying and selling all these places must be a major headache.

Did you bake this yourself or did you buy it precooked? And, do you eat all this in one sitting?

Actually, it was industrial pizza, you may have noticed it. Since it was a frozen product, I put it in the oven to cook it. I only ate hale of the pizza and put the rest in the fridge for later. Since it was necessary to finish the red wine, I set out to round out the meal with a piece of camembert.
This "pizza chèvre" was bought in a supermarket known as Auchan. 
In fact this kind of pizza is probably not the best dish for you guests, they could be disappointed. At intermarché, it's still possible to find the pizza brand  "Sole mio" that my father used to buy in the early 90's. This one is cheaper than the Sole mio pizzas, which  taste much better.

Weren't the winter olympics held there some time back? AFAIK Grenoble is not in the French Alps, although there is some high ground east of there. I'm thinking that might have been the place. If you're going to have skiing competition and similar, you need high ground and plenty of snow.

Actually, I heard of the Olympic games of Grenoble, but I just had to check when they took place since it was a long time ago. It was in 1968, 57 years ago. I guess you watched them on TV. In fact, there is a neighborhood that was built especially for the athletes known as "village olympique". The facilities were then converted into housing for the inhabitants of Grenoble. Nowadays, this is a rough neighborhood, which is part of the "quartier de la Villeneuve", plagued by drug trafficking. Since I live in the North of Grenoble, I rarely go to this place.
If you are interested in the Olympic games of Grenoble, you can see what remains of these games and the photos of various facilities in this article: https://www.lefigaro.fr/le-scan-sport/2018/02/06/27001-20180206ARTFIG00022-grenoble-1968-que-reste-t-il-des-sites-olympiques.php

Tonight, I'm going to show you another good dish.
Look at the photo below.

There is a cold spell here in Grenoble, with freezing temperature. I was afraid humbert might be cold in Texas, but it turns out it's 20 degrees in San Antonio.

And speaking of skiing, let me tell you a story. Some time back my lady and I traveled to Western Canada to visit the Canadian Rockies. Skiing looked easy, so I went to the top of a mountain to ski down. Before you know it I was skiing backwards at full speed without knowing any way to stop. Eventually I crashed, they sent a snowmobile to rescue me. That what happens when a tropical Cuban like me thinks skiing is easy.

It was 20° today (26/11/2-25), but in the next few days they're forecasting temps as low as -1°. Let's hope so.
