If it can run win10 it can run modern linuxes. Other than create more landfill there's no reason to deprecate those older machines. OEMs probably had a talk with Microsoft because they weren't selling as many machines. TBH, I don't see the need to change my Ivy Bridge or Broadwell machines.

And it's completely ridiculous that older hardware isn't supported. It's an artificial limitation since you can hack the install so it runs on older machines. (my Ivy Bridge machine runs it OK)

What's nice though is there's gonna be a bunch of free hardware when support stops for Win10.

UnRaid is what I'm using. What's nice about it is you can mix drive sizes as long as parity is the biggest one.

TBH, it can do 4.8 easily, but I like 42 as a number (for obvious reasons).

To push people to other platforms.

-I don't need nor want an online account
-I don't need my files and desktop residing anywhere else than my hard drive. (that is, keep my desktop *local*)

Games are mostly what's keeping me on Windows. I don't need nor want to upgrade, the games I play and stuff I do run fine on a i7-3770k (oc'ed to 4.2 boost), 24GB ram and a 4060. No TPM wanted. How many computers will be recycled in October '25?

My PC runs 11 24H2 pretty fine even if it's a 12ish-years old CPU. Why would I want a new one?

They're common on torrent sites (Torrent Galaxy I'm looking at you)

Must not have been not running on a Pentium :)

Yeah right. There's a big warehouse in Laval, just north of Montreal. So please Amazon, tell us how closing that warehouse is going to be more efficient?

It's an anti-union move, nothing more

Works fine on Edge (for now)

I remember mine, Dual 300A @ something around 500 with two short-stroked WD Raptors in RAID-0. Workstation power for a fraction of the price :)

LOL! I still have my Radio Shack branded one

Oups, meant DSD

incluscluding SDS and SACD rips

Foobar 2000 with the proper plugins will play 5.1 audio (Mac Mini on my Marantz 6015)

Will try with plex

What I'm wondering is Why Canada Services Agency doesn't have a failover, and even more so, why the heck doesn't 911 have a backup provider.
