I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

Good, users like you are the reason ransomware happens. Fucking update your shit. Windows 7 isn't secure anymore.

Fuck your judgemental horseshit. Enjoy your loss of ownership and telemetry laiden trash.

I use arch btw.

/s but seriously "held off" doesn't mean "kept using aftsr end of service" like you assumed. Lots of people waited till 7's end of life to switch.

@TeepoPeeto @c0mbatbag3l Stuck with Win2k from 1999-2010, was forced onto XP when stuff like games wouldn't install because 2k didn't have Windows Firewall. Never mind the PC already had a decent firewall (think it was atGuard).

Still use Win7, in a VM, as it's where my 🏴‍☠️ Adobe products run.
