Microsoft to stop forcing Windows 11 users into Edge in EU countries
Microsoft won’t say why this change is limited to EU markets.

Now do cross-platform messaging next!
According to Microsoft almost everything from Microsoft is cross platform, because it works in both Windows 10 and 11. That's good enough for Microsoft to be cross platform. I'm not even kidding!
EU: "That still only counts as one"
OK. 😀
Guys. This fellow here is missing a Lord of the Rings reference! Did you know that trilogy is 20 years ago now? Feeling old yet?
Lord of the Rings is from 1968, and I read it in the 80's, and have seen the movies.
I don't see how that was a reference to either.
It's a movie reference. Specifically it references "The Lord of the Rings: The return of the King" at the end of the battle of Minas Tirith. It is said by Gimli, as a response to Legolas slaying a Mumak (giant war elephant).
I'm sorry i don't have a timestamp.
Edit: It's 2:50:49ish in the extended edition
OK I looked it up, and that is indeed a LOTR reference.
I just don't get why people would make a reference out of anything as generic as that?
I mean they can require it if they want. Apple would just bury the fact that it exists and would use something that's known to be shit. Idk how they could be forced to make iMessage cross platform.
