Windows 10 EOL

Blog Windows 10 EOL June 17th, 2025 (permalink) So Microsoft decided to produce tons of e-waste for no obvious reason. There's a lot of capable hardware out there, and it would be of software company's interest to support as much hardware as possible.

This made me wonder: If a generative AI model had been fed all those inputs, might it have pro
