this is most stupid take I've ever heard
your average joe doesn't even care that win10 is eol, he will continue to use it even if there won't be any updates
if anything, that average joe hated updates -

Depends on the company but yes most of these morrons do throw them out because they don't know better. Subcontracting to companies doesn't help either.
But he has a point tho, most average joe hate change. If microsoft and co would respond to the market demand instead of creating it they'd still be running windows xp and people would still use skype. -
@a1ba isn't that more about businesses? Where they just see "EOL" and think they instantly need to buy a new one
@semiramis I don't think even businesses care -

@bogdan I don't mind but it feels like it's missing the point... -

And in the age of soldered SSDs, some companies don't even bother wiping the disks before giving the laptops to recyclers. They just drill a hole through the laptop where the SSD is and call it a day. -

They just drill a hole through the laptop where the SSD is and call it a day.@phnt @mangeurdenuage @a1ba Well at the same time SSDs I don't think you can wipe them out at 100% if some sectors got taken as "used up" by the firmware.
So you'd need disk encryption, which they should be doing anyway because computers can get stolen quite easily. -

It's not possible as the way the controllers a programmed they don't check if the data is properly erased, that's done to avoid further possible quantum effects/reduce usage cycles
>which they should be doing anyway because computers can get stolen quite easily
Why would they even bother, all is in the cloud these days, the concept of the minitel is so practical itself, no need to worry about data leaking or being stolen :clueless: -

What heresy is this!
Throw them to my garden, please.
@wthinker yeah absolute nonsense
