eli5? people can continue using windows 10 but becomes insecure?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Ms will stop supporting windows 10. Windows 11 has hardware requirements for a specific security chip and processors with specific features, so upgrading components isn’t an option.

If you have an old pc you can’t easily upgrade. Theres ways of forcing it to work but it’s not supported.

A lot of businesses will be getting rid of their old pcs so they dont need to deal with the hassle.

Linux will still support and run on the older hardware, so a lot of people are expecting used hardware prices to drop.

Yes. They also added an option to pay for patches.

Ah, the old Ben Shapiro logic. If you don't want your house that's at risk of flooding, don't worry, simply sell it! Someone's bound to give you a good price for it!

Or better yet, windows 10 LTSC. Which will be supported for another 2 years. 4 if you subsequently switch the product key to the IOT LTSC version.

The hurdles windows users are willing to put up with is nothing less than amazing. That's not a good thing.

October is going to be a great month to get a cheap second hand computer.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s online corps offload computers but there will be a delay and many will just have the extended windows 10 supports. So I’d give it another year.

It's one new PC, Michael. How much could it cost? $10?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (3 children)

What's 10 dollars? The people saying this are too rich to understand poor numbers. They probably think in terms of "a new pc costs less than an hour at my favorite spa, people are complaining too much".

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's a joke from a tv show. The rich out of touch lady thinks bananas "only cost" ten dollars.
