uhhh
no
they just run a checksum
That's not what open-source means
Yes Eccles, I know
Which is why I fucking corrected myself
you can literally lock it into a few large pak files
and have a single executable
and the verification process still works
because it's a checksum, that's it
Fair enough
I’ll take that, I got it wrong
Doesn’t change the fact that Eccles is still an XP using boomer<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
Was
im dreading windows 7 end of life
It was the being forced to change that made me fall out with Steam because of the way they ended the support
Ironically it was Microsoft -sensible- decision to allow the installation of WIndows 10 without a license key that saved me
i dont think win10 will run on my main laptop, and win 10 is a dumpster fire anyway
@system11 Windows 7 has already reached its manufacture end of life, but steam won’t abandon it for a while. A major stake of its user base still uses windows 7
i mean the out of support for OS updates EOL, not sure when that is
yeah im sure MS will force the issue soon
It’s already happened
I have an old laptop running W7, it's got the specs to run W10 but won't because W10 is buggy and there is no value for M$ in fixing it
But both Microsoft and steam realize that many users still use it, so the plug isn’t pulled
if it had already happened i wouldnt have pending security updates from microsoft
It’s already happened. Probably just scheduled.
my laptop is 9 years old so not sure if win10 will even work on it. it was top of the range at the time and i cant find -anything- available with a screen as good
if it's got 2gb of ram, it should
but chance are it won't because fuck M$
Ah forgive me, I got my dates mixed up. It’s January 14th, 2020.
its the nvidia display hardware id worry about
you shouldn't, it's well supported
no
W10 works on everything
the screen is a 17" matte 16:10. just try to find anything with that
it'll be the bios that'll fuck you up if anything
it definitely will
the BIOS is unaffected
you dolt
hasn't it offered you a w10 upgrade via windows update?
