The Totally Topic-less Anything Except Complaining Thread

The easy way or the delightfully easy way?

In news unlikely to surprise anybody, Windows 10 is rapidly approaching its October 14 expiration date. That doesn’t mean you’ll be waking up on October 15 to a computer that no longer functions, but it does mean you’ll miss out on Microsoft’s technical support, feature updates, and security patches.

You can probably make do with the former, but the latter will leave you, your data, your hardware, and your system integrity completely exposed to every ne’er-do-well netizen with a willingness to exploit legacy machines (of which, there are a lot).

The official solution? Upgrade to Windows 11, obviously. And if your hardware doesn’t meet Windows 11’s stricter requirements? According to Microsoft, it’s time to scrap your hardware and invest in one of the best laptops that comes pre-installed with Windows 11, instead.

However, the official path isn’t the only path, and a new project called End of 10 is offering a different solution — one that doesn’t involve tossing out your perfectly good hardware, surrendering to Windows 11’s centrally-aligned, ad-laced Start Menu, or being constantly harangued about the spiritual benefits of owning a Microsoft Account.

In fact, it doesn’t involve Windows at all. It’s guiding people towards a different platform entirely: Linux.

I used to shoot a lot of pool years ago and the last shot was amazing, but he was just showing off probably for the camera.

Our dear Replay friend needs our prayers.

Wayne aka WS66 and his wife, our

special friend, Debbie, aka DLstout

are in Greece on vacation. Deb became

ill and ended up in the hospital. These are my

last messages from Wayne:

She has pneumonia again and fluid around

her heart. They are doing tests. They think

she has a bacterial infection on her heart

valve.

They want her to stay in the hospital for a

couple weeks. It is very serious. She

cannot fly because it could embalize

into the brain. They are looking at

the possibility of heart surgery.

We love you Wayne and Debbie

Prayers are on the way
