Hopefully instead of turning into a bunch of e-waste, a bunch of "useless" desktops flood refurbishers, and refurbished desktops become even cheaper. I wouldn't mind replacing my dying media server.

I'm really excited for when the health authority I'm working for that uses win10 needs to frantically switch every machine to win11... Going to be such a relaxing time

You’re using a consumer version of Windows? Businesses can pay for extended support.

[-] datavoid@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

Oh true, forgot about that. In that case we won't think about it for a few years I'm sure...

I've suggested we modify a Linux distro to use instead, but no one seems to want to pay for the setup. Which is fair I guess.

I'd rather pay for security updates than invite more AI and Microsoft sponsored spyware onto my computer...

Win10 LTSC still has quite a few years left.

It’s not available for individual consumers though unless you pirate it, isn’t it? (which makes it perfectly good reason to pirate it)
