Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux
  • franklin franklin 3d ago 100%

    The activation mechanism I use on my personal PC has been active for six years without issue, so I can only assume so. And yeah, migrating to Linux works for some people, sure. But there's no harm in letting new people know there's options.

    More so just trying to give the mods less to clean up if they have to. Plus I think links to it are a faux pas

    They typically don't sell licenses to individuals and even if you were able to buy one for a reseller, it would be like $500.

    There are other ways of activating it, but they are a gray area, and I'd only be willing to describe them to you through DM

    For anyone who still needs Windows, I recommend you try the Windows 10 LTSC IoT variant.

    It has support until 2032 and has all the bloatware ripped out. It's extremely good.

    They even have a Windows 11 version. That's also really good. But I'm guessing if you've avoided upgrading to Windows 11, you'd prefer to stay on 10 anyway.

    Tool libraries and toy libraries
  • franklin franklin 6d ago 100%

    The concept of a tool library immediately interests me because I have so many tools I barely use or have neglected buying because I would only use one to five times.

    It'd be much more convenient to describe what I need for a project.

  • Nintendo, famed for hating emulation, likely using Windows PCs to emulate SNES games at its museum
  • franklin franklin 6d ago 100%

    My issue with Nintendo is that it's not even clear it is illegal to emulate things, authorized or not.

    We have some precedent which ruled it's not, but no real call from an authority.

    They use their legal team to bully the world even for emulation which is clearly not even harmful to them.

    When building roofs I only use the walk to command if I need to move.

    I learned that lesson after I lost a long time character falling off a roof.

    See, that was what I'd always heard, and this study seemed to condradict that.

    I tried to read through some of its sources and understand the strength of their assertions but statistics was never my best subject.

    Wow, The comments here are an absolute shitshow.

    Be as upset as you want with Obama or Biden. But remember, neither of them are on the table for this next election cycle.

    I think a diverging diamond interchange is actually a pretty elegant solution. That being said, I'd rather have public transport than better traffic infrastructure.

    It crashes if you try the previous workaround. This new workaround made by the creator of Rufus still works.

    Correct, however it does have all the core functions you'd need. As long as you're okay activating it Through ways I'd only be willing to describe to you at length through DM.

    There is now a workaround for Windows 11's TPM 2.0 requirement built straight into Rufus.

    You can just check the box and it will put the necessary code to circumvent the requirement on the bootable USB.

    The LTSC for Windows 10 should be up to date until 2032, just in case you do need it for the software.
