A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Why would 240 million devices be scrapped? Just install Windows 11 or Linux on them. If you have a PC built in the last 6 years, you can probably run an OEM version of 11 if your settings in 10 is saying you don't qualify.
This post just highlights just how woefully technologically unsavvy the average person is.
Windows 11 is adware and spyware wrapped in a thin OS veneer. I will never upgrade, end of support or no.
And this is why I refuse to touch anything but Windows Pro, stable channel.
Yes, it costs extra, and it comes with some ads, and I don't get the "honor" of beta testing the latest bells and whistles for a month or two, and laptop vendors still put their crapware on it... but once I disable all the nasty stuff, it stays disabled.
