This is going to have a much bigger impact on the third would countries.

Most people here are not going to buy a new computer there are tons of people who buy second hand laptops that are old to be able to afford them.

Additionally people are not tech savvy and don’t understand the implication of this. When they see an ad that says to buy a new computer, they are going to dismiss it the same way they dismiss all the other ads online telling them to buy stuff.

Hopefully instead of turning into a bunch of e-waste, a bunch of "useless" desktops flood refurbishers, and refurbished desktops become even cheaper. I wouldn't mind replacing my dying media server.

You’re using a consumer version of Windows? Businesses can pay for extended support.

Oh true, forgot about that. In that case we won't think about it for a few years I'm sure...

I've suggested we modify a Linux distro to use instead, but no one seems to want to pay for the setup. Which is fair I guess.

I'd rather pay for security updates than invite more AI and Microsoft sponsored spyware onto my computer...

Win10 LTSC still has quite a few years left.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (5 children)

It’s not available for individual consumers though unless you pirate it, isn’t it? (which makes it perfectly good reason to pirate it)
