I'm good with hot food, to the point I actually occasionally use nasty sauces like the infamous Da Bomb on things I legitimately eat, but I'll never get people that say sriracha isn't hot.
Maybe I buy a special one or something, or it varies wildly from person to person, but i like to put a good juicy squirt of sriracha on my cheese sandwiches and it definitely still clears my sinuses quite effectively.
Also IT guy. Hot take indeed. I've done this but won't support this. I will almost guarantee some update will break shit at the most inconvenient time humanly possible and the people you've done this for will need your help, all at the same time.
I'm using this opportunity to expand Linux market share.
Most people only use a browser these days. People that ask me about Windows 10 eol get pushed towards Linux. There is really no need to spend money to replace a machine mainly used to browse the web.
Only if they need stuff that won't work on Linux or they really really want Windows to use Chrome or Firefox on for some reason I'll recommend complying with Microsoft's hubris.
But not before suggesting Apple sells pretty and user friendly computers as well. Because I really want this to hurt Windows's market share and by golly I'll do everything in my power to help.
Just don't go at all.
There's some inertia that needs to be overcome, but it's coming. UK and Germany already posted (rather tame...) advisories.
"Freedom of speech."
I hope we give a real advisory and just straight up mark the country yellow, possibly orange for anybody not hetro or white instead of just telling people to "check visa requirements" so papa US doesn't get angry...
Mexico's been yellow with orange area's for years while crime rates in some area's are totally comprable.
They are losing it and we'd to well to remember there are more weapons there per capita there than we have bicycles.
(The scale is green, yellow, orange, red, for those that don't know what i'm on about. Green obviously meaning (relatively) safe, and red essentially being a warzone.)
Not sure where this is coming from but people are not only refused entry. People are detained. Even with valid documentation, evidently.
Germany also revised their travel advisories to reflect the fact you can basically arbitrarily be detained.
They don't issue these kinds of advisories for countries with normal visa procedures where nothing of note happens...
Your rant seems somewhat out of place.
I use Pop!_Os currently. Also has an "nvidia distro" and have a comparable experience of it mostly "just working".
Okay, but what would you like him to elaborate on, other than showing you that the Tesla is fooled by a road runner type mural, fog and dense rain?
How much more info other than just "car didn't stop" (where other car did stop) do you need to be convinced this is a problem?
I think all this news about people seeming arbitrarily being detained by ICE is already making people want to steer way clear of anything US right now.
I don't disagree, but I don't see the reason in tempting/inviting work to spawn. Especially in the cases where windows itself is optional.
I also think it's interesting you're not convinced it's a reasonable risk. I've had updates break things on clients under my control on several occasions, particularly post Windows 7 with the bigger feature releases.
It's definitely a "when", and not an "if" to me.
It's also worth pointing out Microsoft has already actively been working against allowing you to bypass the requirements. It's very clear to me they want to go towards some kind of hardware lifecycle management and I would definately not put it past them they deliberately make windows stop working on unsupported platforms at some point.
