So on, so forth
Socialist don't give a shit about the poor disabled or chronically ill, they only care insofar as they can use them
You don't see hypocrisy in Microsoft claiming they're a carbon negative company, the same week they render 10% of the world's active PC's obsolete?
even abuse them
Or that you run their compatibility tool that claims Windows 10 will run on your system and it doesn't?
Ha Carbon Neutral that's rubbish
virtue signalling bullcrap
Honest specs is something I thought we'd left behind in 1998
(or lack of)
I dont see whats so funny about a pineapple
@Eccles That's because only 20% of people who buy computers look at specs
That's a marketing issue
That's not justification for m$'s poor speccing
Used to be able to find AMD specs really easily now they went the way of nVidia and all they have on that site is rubbish market web pages. That tell me nothing I care about.
How have the poor spec. What you mean is you ran the Compatibility software and it said you could you did and it broke
Sorry bad sentence cba re writing
Yes, on 3 of 5 devices I have at home, and at work, about 30% of their entire PC fleet is manually limited to 1709 because 1803+ won't work
I don't know what 1709 and 1803+ are I assume sockets?
no, versions of windows 10
work devices are all intel bog standard platforms from dell
home devices are a mix of intel and amd
I update windows whenever it wants, I had an issue once in 4 years of using windows 10
well like i said, this is an issue for legacy hardware
I don't think that's microsoft's fault though, they provide a greater freedom to the user in terms of hardware they can't compatibility check every piece of hardware
Lol, we still have Window 7 on some machines
Let alone versions of WX
I am arguing from a personal consumer point not an enterprise consumer point of view. Microsoft's business model is an improvement, since going to Windows 10, but that is my personal opinion unfortunately.
yes they can, farrongoth, they can run your hardware id's against their database and see if they're compatible - it would be trivial
it's different
Yeah but they have to have tested that hardware.
it only has to be in their driver db
The compitability checks CPU architecture ram and storage I'm pretty sure it doesn't check hardware at all
it doesn't, but it needs to
it'd solve all the remaining problems
You are right they could if they wanted to. They do to some degree because it installs drivers for most things automatically although you can almost always install better drivers
That's been true since XP tho
difference being service packs for xp didn't remove hardware support and therefore break existing installs
which is my contention with windows 10 🙂
I don't think windows 10 does, tbh but I cba scouring the internet to find out if it is the case
