Isn’t everyone in an important post in the US govt a complete fuckwad moron now? No surprise to me.

Or the iouioui

I haven’t used windows home in decades, I deal with new installs of pro/enterprise all the time. You have to jump hoops now to create a local account.

Oh this is a good callout, I’m definitely using wired and not wireless.

Edit: What where the CPUs on the 2015 computers you upgraded?

No idea, I touch so many computers in a day I don’t keep track. I just know the release dates of the machines and surprised how many from 2015-2020 were actually OK with installing windows 11.

I think you underestimate how many computers that are in use today that can’t be updated to Windows 11.

Nah, do you mean like those windows xp ones that banks use, or windows 7 ones that governments use, etc? Those are obviously in a category of their own.

So, what is this if not Microsoft now forcing people to buy new hardware, if they have unsupported hardware?

There’s an obvious answer to this, even if many may not like it, but switch. Switch to a Mac or install Linux on your machine. It’s generally a bad idea to stay in a relationship with someone who treats you poorly, so…

OK that definitely clears up my confusion

This comment is illegal!

Confused on what this has to do with EA?

Definitely don’t want to be painting my face every day 😜

Time for assassin’s creed hoods.

Really? I’m set up for always on wireguard when not on my home network. And android auto works fine. And yeah, I’m doing full tunnel.

I know I’ll get down voted for this, but from that site:

"Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?"

Kind of a sensationalized statement. I’ve upgraded tons of machines from 2015 and newer to windows 11 without issues. Sure, not all of them, but I’d say a majority of them, and the “upgrade” is free.

I guess I wanted to point out this piece isn’t as doom and gloom as it seems.

Just like opting out of using a Microsoft account to log into windows, the grips will get tighter and tighter over time until you are forced to use butt hole ID to unlock your screen.
