When asked to choose between convenience and security, a lot of people will choose convenience. Staying on the computer you already have as long as it seems to work fine is very convenient. I still occasionally see computers running Windows 7 for no reason other than that the owner can't be bothered to make a change.

The big worry is that most computers running Win10 don't meet the requirements to run 11. If they drop support for 10, then a huge number of computers that are functioning just fine suddenly start becoming increasingly less safe to use and the only fix is to throw them away.
I figured it was longer, but I couldn't be bothered to research it, so I could only speak from my own memory.
You'd think so, but that's been a standard abbreviation around the Internet for at least 5 years.
It's only ever "the website formerly know as Twitter" to me.
This makes me want to learn the hurdy-gurdy even more! I mean, in reality, I'm never putting in the time to learn to play it anyway. So, in the fantasy of me being dedicated enough to learn to play an instrument, the added fantasy of me maintaining a finely tuned instrument is just added appeal.
It's ok, I asked my dog and it explicitly consented.
Still no? Alright, let me put the dog on.
This is the dog, I don't mind being monitored. Go ahead and explain it to the human.
I would never have guessed this, and yet I am also in no way surprised.
I used a similar setup once in the Appalachians. The back wall was fortunately still standing. I had been backpacking for 3 days and hadn't gone once, so I was backed up, but all that activity kept it loose. The view was absolutely beautiful. The open walls let in a fresh breeze, so no outhouse smell at all. Once I forced myself to get over the awkwardness of the exposure and just go, it all came together. Best Shit Of My Life. 20 odd years later that dump still ranks among the most sublime moments I have ever experienced.
Let's not get crazy here. These folks would need to know that if they go to a new OS, will is still run "the Microsoft" or "the Google"?
