"240 million PCs could end up in landfills when Windows 10 support ends"
Sure.
Or they could be repurposed with #Linux or Chrome OS Flex, or #FreeBSD, and we can stop being so freaking dramatic.
If you just browse, watch Netflix, shop, net banking, etc, Linux distributions like Mint or Ubuntu could save you money. It is an environment-friendly option.
@nixCraft Yeah...
Jist put on some @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS amd hve a good Desktoo for 5-10+ years amd even lowest-end machines can be repurposed with @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux or if you want something to just surf on, consider #PorteusKiosk.
Either way, I think #Microsoft should be forced to pay for those >240M PCs they decided to obsolete for no good reason and that this should be accounted for in their #CarbonFootprint as a #Corporation!

@[email protected] @[email protected] and this why we have #ClimateChange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuFQbiIVUkw&t=689s Because #GAFAMs like #Microsoft decide crap like #CensorBoot is so important they'd have to go out of their way to generate so many metric tons of 100% avoidable #eWaste, it makes replacing all household & office electrical outlets in the #EU with #IEC60806_1 sockets look like an envoirmentally friendly decision... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60906-1#Possibility_of_acceptance_in_European_Union
