Just stop supporting the biggest actor in the market.

Would it be a downside? Slower? Very costly?

Ok, but it might be in other areas. Example lets see someone invent very high efficiently on solar panels with no weight at all. Or lets get rid of rubber wheels and do sifi so the car can hover over the road.

It would be wonder if they last forever and easly could be repaired. Making it better to keep the car then buy a new one. It just need to be upgradedable to the latest standards that might be more safe, efficient and agree with current law.

But I am pretty that would never exist - too hard.

I actually want Microsoft to do better. Then can, they just ignore user feedback about user choice, design, what to work on etc. Good if they start to get some competition. I wonder what will happen when ARM gets common in a normal PC-build. Good opportunity to make some big changes.

It miss all the different fullscreen popups about choosing edge, Windows Update reboot now or i will do it anyway things.

If there is a problem at low power usage then you can easily solve it by temporary add more power. Lets say add a 40watt lamp or something, later remove it from the calculation.

I see it like thank you that i don’t have to go to Mozilla website and download the installer. So much time saved, and it only takes like 5 second without manually doing anything. On Linux i saw please restart Firefox tab and clicked it. No problem. I got the update fast.

Some scenarios are useful, but the AI has to read it all to find that. It just need to know as much as possible in order to build a profile.

The only problem is that it is not limited to only you that can read the profile. You have no control of the data is stored.

Reason?

1. Firefox does not support Microsoft Teams
2. Microsoft disabled support for Firefox
3. Problem for a specific computer/account

Because there is no native gui. For most things to configure in Linux there is a webui but not a simple Gui built in. Configuration files like squid.conf smb.conf nginx.com… then we have logs but here I think I never checked for a Gui, does it work for remote ssh easily? Can you restart service easy?

That is something that should be possible: Choosing a backup sync server that have my data(profile). I hope they implement that

I don’t think they would do Linux. Better if they did a stripped down version of their OS that can run like Chrome OS. Secured with a web browser. Little maintenance as so much has been removed.

Yes, many other products as well. Not sure why there are no regulations regarding e waste.

It probably is. But MS choose how they want to keep the control of the users. But just leaving them like this is just bad. I feel EU should force them to give a solution since the computer came with Windows so it is their responsibility.

One alternative is to give them Chrome OS, or they might prefer building their of version of it.

Today I see a computer as end of life when it is to slow to view webpages. Often like when it is to little RAM available or the CPU is really too slow. Then I think Microsoft could stop caring about it.

I think Microsoft should actually be forced to either extend support or give the user one option to be secured. With the later I mean pay for license or click here to automatically choose a Linux distro that the user will be migrated to. It could be Mint or one of MS own Linux distribution with OneDrive preinstalled and links to Office 365 online word. Even install Android could be one option.

This is better than getting all the devices on the landfill.

Remember that 99% don’t know what to do with their computer or are lazy. One easy fix should be available.

I can see that threads.net may harm the Fediverse. But, there might be some people that don’t like the threads client and want to use the fediverse to interact with them. This will divide us. Also, trying to have a standard were threads.net is blocked is very hard to spread. Maybe has to be default on the server side, or even better, a subscription.

It might also be harder to recover picies if the hard drive fail partially. However, many use SSD now, might be a different story there.

Amnesia - I wound not know that I have a password manager. I wound be very screwed. No one else in family even understand what it is. I don’t know what to do about it. At least they know I have a Gmail account. But I don’t use it for logins. Maybe I can regain access to my domain with BankID. I have the password file on phone, server and on my workstation. So I will be fine regarding hardware failure.

Learn when to say no. I have missed a lot because of this.
