I installed graphyOS on mine

Hold on to your butts.

Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.

I just lost out on the sale of two Lenovo P51 thinkpads because the CPU has been literally arbitrarily cut off. 32gb ddr4 2400mhz, quad core xeon, Nvidia GPU w/ 4gb gddr5, 512gb SSD. Because Microsoft decided to leave it off of a spreadsheet. Fuck this company….

I have two Xeon E5-2697A v4's in my system. 32 cores. My machine runs the latest AAA titles like Indiana Jones on maximum settings flawlessly.

Microsoft: "Just throw it away, bro." Bless Lord Gaben for making Proton so good, I can run 95% of my Steam library on Linux, with better performance.

Microsoft: “Can’t run our AI dataminer?” gtfo

Sweet, bunch of cheap laptops about to flood the market

[–] Granite@midwest.social 15 points 15 hours ago

I just installed Mint instead.

That moment when Microsoft tells people to throw away perfectly good working computers because they're running Windows 10. When Windows 10 was just coming out or had just come out, Microsoft promised that Windows 10 would be the last OS of theirs, and there would only be updates. Also Microsoft is constantly sending messages to people running Windows 10 urging them to update.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 3 points 11 hours ago

I remember that "promise" too. And here we are

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 20 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I really wish there was something regulatory that could be done about this. There are millions of perfectly good fully working computers that are going to go in the fucking trash because of this. I understand the desire for a TPM on every machine. It makes sense in a way. But the pure environmental impact is just indefensible. All of those computers had a significant environmental footprint to build them and ship them and again to dispose of them plus building and shipping their replacements.
If Microsoft had such a hard-on for TPM, they should have worked with computer manufacturers to make some sort of retrofit system or way of easily determining if a TPM can be added to an existing computer

[–] Tiamo@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Let's not pretend Microsoft is trying to do anything else but make more money with the TPM requirement.

What a coincidence, the end of my support for windows is also approaching.

jk I srubbed that shit from my personal devices years ago after graduating.

Browsing from a 12 year old laptop running Win7 ... what's the issue?

[–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 19 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Malware. All the malware 🪲. That thing better be airgapped.

Even JavaScript can infect you.

Assuming your family does online banking and brokerage you then become a jumping off point for malware.

[–] tengkuizdihar@programming.dev 26 points 19 hours ago

Holy shit they really just said, "throw it away". Troglodytes!

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

Microsoft finally embracing the Apple model of upgrading

[–] Tenograd@feddit.org 50 points 21 hours ago (7 children)

This is the biggest garbage a tech company did to almost 256 million PCs in use and fully working. I installed Linux Mint on all three PCs I own. Free and works far better than I thought.

Trade it in or recycle it with local organizations

And what are those organizations expected to install on systems that can't support Windows 11, Microsoft? What are they expected to install exactly?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, I'll always take a cheap Linux box...
