Markus Udosson Bo@nixCraft I need Anger Management for Windows, and Drugs. Tranquilizers mostly
Alexey@alphasixtyfive @nixCraft That would imply there is an evil force in it. I think it‘s just chaos, neutral evil chaos.
Kevin Russell@alphasixtyfive @hankarus @nixCraft
200 million computers running windows will be abandoned by Microsoft, no support, no new malware removal, no virus help, abandonware.
If you own a Windows 10 machine, you can throw it onto the far too big tech junkpile, or put linux on it, ffs, please.
Or give a thousand away to schools or free computer activists in cities everywhere.
Any Windows 10 machine can be saved, reborn, made ACTUALLY USEFUL, without surveilance.
Warlock Of Wires@kevinrns @alphasixtyfive @hankarus @nixCraft I think that there should be tribunals held for how much E-Waste is going to be caused by Microsoft's intentional euthanization of reasonable computers...
We as Society already hold Apple to a high standard as we should and I think it's high time we also start pointing some serious blame at Microsoft for a copycatting apple when it comes to e-waste. We can do better as a society and we need to and we should..
Baron Vonskinnback@Warlockofwires @kevinrns @alphasixtyfive @hankarus @nixCraft apple is the worst offender for doing this across their mobile, tablet, laptop & desktop devices, they have been doing this shit for years...
@Vonskinnback @kevinrns @alphasixtyfive @hankarus @nixCraft that's ironic because Apple has about a 7-year fixed life span on their laptops and desktops and they're consistency allows me to then make Capital purchases on a regular basis every 2/3 of a decade knowing the exact lifespan of my Hardware on the other hand Microsoft is going to cost me $6,000 this year because they're absolutely asinine requirements for Windows 11 means that my 7th gen I5 Panasonic Toughbook that I use for my work in the field and in my lab is it going to be supported in about a year. And to replace it I have to buy a brand new model not a used one because only those support 11.
Apple has cost me $4,000 in the last 10 years because in 2012 I bought a Mac Pro Tower then I ran until last year. And I just replaced it this last July with a M2 Ultra Mac studio...
Maybe I'm a unique use case but in my case I see far more damage done as a business from Microsoft and they're unpredictable lifespans.
@Vonskinnback @kevinrns @alphasixtyfive @hankarus @nixCraft I also do not use their tablets or their smartphones because their Hardware doesn't do what I need it to do so I'm not a part of that mess....
@Warlockofwires @kevinrns @alphasixtyfive @hankarus @nixCraft I was anti apple initially because of childish reasons, but the moment I got my hands on the Samsung S1 I was hooked, but I dropped Samsung after the S3 & moved to HTC, then LG, then to Xiaomi, I am still buying their hardware because I can flash & fix it myself, I haven't owned a new handset since my S3, second hand & broken is my preference. I wish I was more skilled so I could move to Linux, but I am a Microsoft prisoner...
@Vonskinnback @Warlockofwires @kevinrns @hankarus @nixCraft Samsung butchers Android like no other. No way I'm buying any of their phones ever again.
@alphasixtyfive @Vonskinnback I used to use a Galaxy S3 then it S5 then an s10e and then I finally got an s22 last year which probably decide to overheat itself and Destroy its own SIM card slot and when I had it repaired by a local place in town they use a non OEM part and then it destroy the ability for the phone to use SIM cards or even the esim....
I would love to get a nice ruggedized phone but every single one I've seen is being sold
With often a two or three year old version of Android and there's no updates included so you know it's good for that year software wise and then who knows what kind of vulnerabilities you can't patch....
It's practically e-waste...
@Warlockofwires @Vonskinnback so, it committed suicide :)
