To be fair, that really depends what you use your PC for. Looking at youtube without a profile, and reddit and the news, playing music, offline games. You will be 100% fine. If you have to log into somewhere with sensitive data, don't. But as a secondary device you PROBABLY will be fine. Requires significant discipline, to not accidentally log into facebook on it though.

What an idiotic perspective. Microsoft has supported W10 for literally 12 years at the cutoff date. Show me another software product that receives TWELVE YEARS worth of free support. 30 bucks is fair enough. For enterprises this is play money, if you are a private, you could upgrade fucking 7 keys. Which means, you didn't need to pay a fucking cent to MS since 2007. No one has ever matched this kinda support. Ten percent of this is considered fucking generous.

And herre is a thought for you. The reason why windows is full of adware and spyware is precisely because of dickheads, who won't pay 30 fucking dollars EVERY TWENTY YEARS. This is your fault.

Well this is what makes it interesting. He has to roll the rock to keep up the lie. But since he does at what point does it stop being a lie? You can ask questions about this and this makes it interesting.

True but if you can't do it, you are pretty screwed.

This is a pretty good detail. Makes the story a lot more interesting, and deep.

Not if you hold the power button. Yeah if you single press a power button, the os can divert that, but long press, the SMC will cut power. Similarly how, pressing and holding the power and the volume down button on a phone, cuts power, even if the OS is hard frozen. Sometimes you just need an emergency exit.

I don't, but apple does. This is why the touch ID is in the keyboard. To be fair it does come as a unit if you buy the mac new.

I assume there will be a power button on the keyboard or mouse. This is just sort of a backup.
