  • I mean, I'm glad we're growing here, but...

  • I was here 2y before the exodus, it's absolutely not just the newbies. Maybe some other -ies...

    I for one welcome the shit out of the newbies, I'm thankful to have them and want more, and for them to bring their niche interests with them. They help filter some of the toxicity out.

  • Fridges 100% die, they're made to now. If your fridge is really that old and you can manage it, NEVER get rid of it, tell your parents to leave it to you in their will lmao.

  • Just in case you're actually unaware and not just bullshitting,

    Right ok.... But what's on the other PC for for an OS? And why should we bother having another one on a different OS assuming we can afford extra hardware?

    Came off snarky, thus rude, and is why I returned it in kind. If you weren't trying to be rude and it came off that way by mistake, my bad, but it definitely seemed intentionally and unnecessarily snarky.

  • Well since this thread is about computers unable to run windows 11 due to HW restrictions, meaning they'll be insecure when the EOL is reached, the point would be "to keep your personal computing secure." If you're upgrading to w11, why are we even talking about w10 EOL? Just upgrade then, what's the problem?

    Furthermore, if your company provides a computer at all, you may wish to have your personal computing done on something without their monitoring programs installed. Idk about you but my work doesn't need to know I googled "boobies" at 10pm on tuesday, or whatever.

    Finally, because while upgrading to a computer that can run w11 is costly, buying a used computer off a friend who is upgrading is much cheaper, linux being much less resource intensive and able to run securely and receive critical security updates on cheaper, older hardware can be beneficial to someone who can't upgrade to w11 due to cost, or who is being forced by their workplace into using w10 (or even w11 with company spyware, really.)

    Did I hold your hand well enough this time or are you still confused and being rude about it? Sure, maybe YOU don't care about security, and in that case you shouldn't, just run XP who cares, but for those that do it is an option.

  • I thought we were talking about linux being involved, so that. Why? Because of the whole "not receiving security updates" thing w10 will be doing, y'know the whole thing this thread is about, did I have a stroke?

    Well, get good I guess.

  • Or that, but I'm told some things don't play well in VMs like arcane peripherals.

  • Honestly I figure "work computers" are often overlooked because many companies force windows for their spying "productivity monitoring" apps.

    That said, there's always "having a work computer and a separate secure personal computer." The linux machine doesn't even have to be particularly powerful, it could be whatever old used machine (w/o nvidia) you can get your hands on.

    Jump

  • If whatever programs you need don't require internet access and you aren't at risk of evil maid attacks then it hardly matters if win10 isn't secure. It definitely isn't ideal, but if the options are:

    A) Do all your personal stuff on linux and only boot w10 when you have to, offline.

    B) Only have w10 and run hope.exe for security.

    I'd choose A.

    Sure it's a blanket statement, so you're of the opinion I should be asking more strangers out in public then?

  • Also don't ask women out at the gym, at work, in a store, on the street, or any hobby where they just want to enjoy themselves and not have to be asked out politely or otherwise.

    The only acceptable places according to women are on the apps and in bars, or church supposedly if you're one of those.

    I don't do the privacy violating apps, I don't drink much anymore, and both of those are more "hook up" culture while I want like "an actual relationship," and church just isn't for me. Like, I could go hang out but I'm not going to believe in your gods, and that is a point of contention with the faithful.

  • Tbf women say they find just interacting with men at all intimidating, see: Bears. I just don't talk to anyone anymore tbh.

    I'm gonna die alone with my cats, but at least I won't be called creepy for asking a woman out for coffee!

    Use the apps

    No, privacy nightmare.
