2023 stand about "troubleshooting"
I don't think its really changed very much
Firstly - the troubleshooting tag isn't wanted because its a meta tag, not because it is out of scope. … If the problem is 'clearly' on the browser end, it is on scope for us. Stuff like cert failures, the site failing to load on one PC and not another and so on. Its a computer problem. …

Are questions about the decisions to limit a feature on-topic?
Well - Its more "How do I get around restrictions my employer has put in place" with regards to corporate IT support. That said, as opposed to "why?" - not being able to pair a keyboard is strange, as …

Can any software recommendation question be made on-topic by simply asking "how"?
A good software recommendation question on SU isn't about the product; it's about the process. Implicitly you're expected to give a fair bit more information, and in some cases, the answer might not r …

Revisit the Hackintosh policy
In a practical sense, we don't really support pirated software anywhere. Yes, Hackintoshes are a specific and very visible example, but its no different from someone using "Windows 10 pirate edition". …

Proposal: Merge SuperUser, Unix&Linux, ServerFault, AskUbuntu, AskDifferent
It does fit quite neatly into the scope SU and SF have but in many cases the community there's really good at very difficult problems. SU's pretty broad, and sometimes you need depth. … I've never been to ask different, but at the very least, while they intersect with our scope, they cover things outside ours (like iphones and apple watches) that arn't served elsewhere and probably have …
