You can actually buy Linux computers from dell and Lenovo and they’re even cheaper because you don’t pay for the Microsoft license

If you’re hung up on the basic assumptions necessary to make the thought experiment work as clearly intended then you won’t get it neither

I’ll be honest, a lot of those are pretty stupid

Obviously the wires are connected

Obviously one switch controls the light

Obviously the lights start off

In a thought experiment you can magically reach the lightbulb if you want

Obviously you cannot bring a friend

Obviously you cannot see the light from the switch

Obviously you return to the switches

The answer isn’t intuitive anymore now that lightbulbs don’t always get hot 🥲
