I find it funny how common menu replacements are on Windows nowadays. I used to run ClassicShell/OpenShell back when I used Windows 10, but I was the odd one and no one else I talked to even knew about it.
Now I know more than a handful of people who daily drive RetroBar or something similar on Windows 11. Even if they’re not the type of person who typically customize their setups. Guess that’s just a sign of how bad M$ has been screwing up their UX design lately.
Them killing my ability to have the task bar moved to the top of the screen has pushed me over the edge. I’ve been a Linux fiddler for decades, now I’m going to try full time.
“Connected to the Internet” is a spectrum from “no network interface available” to “can reach every server that people agree is ‘online’”. Is it enough to have a working TCP/IP stack, receive a ping reply from connectivitycheck.android.com (or other arbitrary server), or do you have to know if there’s a firewall (like in China)?
Windows XP, with Windows 10+ terminal, using Linux directories.
Though if you look at the internet taskbar icon it’s a Windows 7/10+ icon, so it may all be a skin running on cygwin/wsl)
Also the internet icon shows there is Internet.

In the case of an apple II
Macintosh Pus actually. At least I hope it’s a Plus. If they gutted a 128k or 512k that would be sad.
Macintosh Pus? 😂🤣
I’d leave the spelling error, I got a good laugh. 👍

do not stick your floppy in there
*macintosh the Apple II’s monitor was separate of the drive
I bet it’s just Linux with a skin.
I think that’s just Win10 with RetroBar

The Internet icon is a fucking liar, and if you don’t agree with me you haven’t been on enough networks.
What do you mean it’s not a DNS error!
Looks to me like the icon that indicates the machine being connected to a network, but that network is not connected to the Internet.
