I use an older version. Am I ok?
You know your notepad version?
it's spiral bound, college ruled, uh, smells of cat hair
If you're still on windows 10, notepad is fine, but you might not be getting security updates for the whole OS. If you're on windows 11, notepad is annoying, bloated, has AI, and is a security risk. Also the OS updates you are getting might well be written by AI, and we all know how infallible AI is, right?
Yeah, still on Win10. I'm in the process of building a new computer right now. It will be duel boot, in Linux/ Win11. I intend to continue using my old Win10 machine though for some things. I'll leave it offline.
