If you are living on the coast and the water is rising due to climate change, just sell your house and move.

At least with OS you have a choice.

And I now I use Linux. Will never go back to Windows after this nonsense.

This is kinda funny, just thinking someone believes you can "trade in" a PC at all. Even more so when they are trying to say those same Windows 10 machines will be so useless you need to trade them in in the first place, making the value of such a trade in what, next to nothing?

A testament to the shot development standards at MS. An OS literally should not in a million years be this resource inefficient, especially out of the box.

Hi from a Thinkpad running Debian (Mint), as God intended

"In the name of our Lord I implore thee to embrace Linux Mint. For it is a software that shall free thy computer from its earthly shackles and grant thee access to infinite knowledge of the cosmos."

Matthew 23:23

Oh sure, why not throw a perfectly functional $1,300 into a shredder so we can make Microsoft happy? Oh yeah, I know, because fuck you Microsoft.

Alright then MS, (this is hypothetical as I haven't ran Windows as my main OS in years and don't plan on going back) since you want me to trade in my hardware, how 'bout I trade in your OS instead? :p

Someone has to say it: I bought a MacBook!

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

A MacBook is on the upgrade treadmill even faster than windows lol

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 33 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

So, uh... You gonna trade me a better machine for my current one, Microsoft?

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago (8 children)

M$: best I can do is Intel celery, but it's new enough to run windows 11

[–] zer0squar3d@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Peppermint OS and Pop! OS are my top favs.

Kinda funny the same statement to Tesla owners, where comments are telling that it's easy...
