"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.
@fuchsiii @nixCraft and this why we have #ClimateChange:

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…
Spoiler: They canned it due to generating equal amounts of #eWaste (700.000t)!

Not to mention that #CensorBoot aka. "#SecureBoot" is insecure by #Microsoft's own admission, so all it achieves is #PowerAbuse by putting in another extra step to make #Linux work that has nothing to do with #Security and entirely with pissing off users.
Also #Microsoft is criminally incompetent in handling their #CensorBoot #Keys, so #GoldenKeyBoot killed that whole security as unpatchably broken!

Secure Boot vulnerabilities allow anyone to unlock Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 devices, or to install bootkits and rootkits on them. Microsoft has yet to address the issue publicly.
@fuchsiii @lunch @nixCraft depends...
#BIOSes even ib the 90s were able to check the #bootsector and warn of tampering.
Tho nowadays #Boodloaders do obsolete that...
Personally I think not forcing people to learn #CodeSigning and using #PGP was a fundamental mistake in #Computing!
