Is this option only available in the EU for EU citizens?
What a coincidence we all just moved to the EU
I wouldn’t be very welcome there but I can dream.
I'm inside, living where I was born. Still not welcome..
Might I ask why
According to user name I'd say because he's Russian? I can't speak for everyone, but people I know have nothing against ordinary Russians. It's those in charge (i.e. Putin and his boys) that took the Russian nation hostage that everyone hates.
You're in a minority then, because the Russophobia is real and in full gear.
It's due to the war (obviously). War does that to society. Look how much Americans and Germans hated each other but 70 years later there is not one bit of hate between the cultures.
It will take time but if the war in Ukraine ever ceases, a few decades from now people in Russia and the west will eventually make amends. That is of course if a non authoritarian government succeeds in Russia. Which doesn't seem all that likely.
I don't know anybody here in Poland being russophobic, although I don't know about other countries.
Wait why? I thought perogi was polish
They are
I think the one who replied meant you install your PC as if it's in an EU country. Language settings are independent of "location". For example, I'm Dutch, but use UK English as a language. Time, keyboard, currency and other values etc. are following dutch standards though.
You can use your real location as a secondary timezone forvexample.
Correct.
That’s unfortunate to hear for anyone living in North America
Ya know, it feels more unfortunate every day
Change your Windows settings and you're all set
I’ve got a NA IP so that wouldn’t fix it unfortunately. Same with the clock.
I'm in Canada with English UK in my settings and I don't have most issues people have with Windows 🤷
