Phew, you had me worried there for a sec

... modern cars run Windows? D:

Just to be clear: while I've seen ads in one form or another in every (non-LTSC) installation of Windows 10 and 11 I've ever made, I'm not claiming that Windows 11 actually shows unskippable ads (in video format) when using the start menu ~~yet~~, that was a hyperbole.

Have you had severe fuckups yearly with Windows, or Linux?

I've had bi-yearly severe fuckups with Windows and have yearly (probably more) severe fuckups with Arch;
the fix to the latter is a thumb drive away, the fix to the former is an ancient ritual which the FBI is still investigating me for.

Unfortunately most people are utter slaves of convenience, they'd gladly suffer 30 seconds of unskippable ads every time they open the start menu rather than re-learn how a different operating system works - doing the latter has a (potentially) massive ROI, but it is quite a big step, and that's what gets them

To a slightly lesser extent, that's also true of Windows - severe malfunctions are less likely to happen, but when they do happen, fixing them is almost always an absolute clusterfuck, and when it isn't, it's downright impossible.

By "problem" I meant having to close Firefox before further browsing, not automated updates - I don't know if I could stand daily-driving a system with Snap updating my stuff while I'm trying to use it tbh, that's one of the main reasons I left Windows behind.

Your first comment gave me the impression that Firefox required a restart because it's distributed officially through Snaps or something, idk 27 days have passed since then

I did consider that in a comment I wrote deeper in the thread, but if you put it like that, the concept of "hole" doesn't even make sense anymore

"The human body has 7 holes" is most likely a reference to [this vsauce video], and admittedly said video is the entirety of my knowledge on topology;

that should answer "I’m really curious how you got that number", and... probably the comment I'm replying to?

I'm not sure I understand your rhetorical curiosity, but humans usually insert food in their mouth which is then pushed through the entire through-hole while being exposed to gastric acid and whatnot; another example are tears, entering the openings in the eyelids and coming out of the nostrils.
Urine is instead chemically produced by the kidneys, and, unless you consider the space between molecules (which AFAIK is not within the domain of topology), that doesn't count as one shape traversing a through-hole of another.

It's not a through-hole, because you can't insert a small object into it and have it come out of some other opening

require the use of insecure and invasive SMS verification
