- Microsoft recently threw a lifeline to consumers, offering alternatives to paying $30 for extended support for Windows 10
- Public Interest Research Group thinks this doesn’t go far enough in terms of avoiding an impending e-waste calamity
- The organization suggests Microsoft considers providing longer-term support for Windows 10, or relaxes the spec requirements for Windows 11
Funny ethernet was the most common issue with Linux at a previous workplace. For some reason it would only get like 10 Mbps. Buggy driver presumably. I’m not sure they ever solved it (I had a Mac.)
We’re talking about normal people here so they don’t really have the option of debugging it either. They can only Google for other people’s solutions or try resetting/rebooting everything. So although on Linux it’s technically possible to fix any issue (e.g. on Windows leaving a playstation controller plugged in prevents sleep and there’s nothing I can do to fix it), in practice on Linux there’s nothing normal people can do to fix that sort of stuff either.
