'Bad for consumers [and] bad for the planet,' PIRG says of Microsoft's decision to end support for Windows 10 in 2025, even though an estimated 1 billion PCs can't upgrade to Windows 11.
I use both Windows and Linux. Despite the “user-centric” experience MacOS only annoys me. I wonder if it’s Apple’s autism (do stuff our way) clashing with mine.
At least Mac’s are a user-centric experience. You pay an absurd premium for pretty good-but-overpriced hardware and the software is designed to give you a good experience with limited choices. Windows actively antagonizes users with ads while charging users for the pleasure, and now they want to add a subscription fee!
What even is the value proposition for Windows these days beyond “it’s what you’re used to”. And even that is less true than ever.
Screw MS. Get a Mac, or use Linux.
Screw MS, go Mac? Why go from questionable closed source software to questionable closed software and hardware?
I also said Linux (my personal preference since … way back).

If people are bitching about their OS being shit canned after 10 years, how are they gonna feel about the 3 year turn around on Mac?
Macs only last 3 years?
This is one of the many, many shitty things about Mac. They are computers for people who don’t like computers.
