I didn't see anything funny about your post.
You probably must misclicked the emoji then. It happens to all of us.
but imho it is silly for existing SD users to consider abandoning its use as long as it still works properly with all Windows versions (which it does)
I didn't suggest that. In fact, I am still using the abandoned Macrium Reflect Free for the very same reason. But one day probably we would have to migrate to another solution (like Hasleo) or to buy a license for the Home version. Since I guess they will no longer support the upcoming versions of Windows like 24H2 and up.
