   Microsoft sent me an email telling me to throw my computer in the trash. 🤷

     @EverydayMoggie Indeed. And that's why I don't own a single Apple product.

     Apple has been doing basically the same thing for decades, though.

     @dosnostalgic seems like a dumb game of chicken microsoft is playing here, considering 11 is on pace to only barely get over 50% adoption rate by that time https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202112-202503

     as long as you are aware you can simply install debian on it and continue as a happy bunny... 🙂

     @dosnostalgic I know a lot of businesses charge people for tech recycling. Most people will just say, "F that!" and throw it in a dumpster.

     We should organise meetings to help ordinary people back up their files and install a simple Linux distribution for them. :/

     @dosnostalgic They progressively make their accessibility tools less functional. They have yet to even consider putting a screen reader or high contrast into WinPE for doing clean installs. And they're willing to say "Your PC's too old, just throw it away, not our problem"

     I'm a sad ritchie
