“Trade it in or recycle it” basically means “your best bet to solve this problem is to pass it on to someone else, who will pass it on to someone else, and so on until it arrives at landfill”.
I love how in a world where we banned straws we are somehow OK with Microsoft pushing people to recycle they old but otherwise adequate system for, what to the vast majority of people, are some paper thin security advantages.
I want to ditch windows so bad, but I can’t run any autodesk products on Linux atm… Revit, Autocad… Sad noises
This is incredibly infuriating and I’d honestly consider it ecoterrorism and abusive.
Still on a t430 lmao
Use Linux. And dont listen to zealts who say its not a viable option. Its actually way ahead than Windows or Macos
Glad those tariffs hit just in time
They just try to force people to buy another PC and so many “computer ignorant” people will…poor old ladies who click on the ads…
Im so glad I fully switched to Linux a year ago. Never going back to Windows.
Throw it away.
Gently
In my direction
Does anybody know the best way to transfer all my files to Linux? I dabbled in it a bit, but I was a little worried I’d have to reinstall everything, considering I had to make a (relatively small) partition using my unused d drive space
Is there a way to transfer ~2TB worth of steam games, outside of uninstalling then reinstalling them?
Sweet, bunch of cheap laptops about to flood the market
I just lost out on the sale of two Lenovo P51 thinkpads because the CPU has been literally arbitrarily cut off. 32gb ddr4 2400mhz, quad core xeon, Nvidia GPU w/ 4gb gddr5, 512gb SSD. Because Microsoft decided to leave it off of a spreadsheet. Fuck this company….
What a coincidende, the end of my support for windows is also approaching.
jk I srubbed that shit from my personal devices years ago after graduating.
Hold on to your butts.
Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.
