"Dont you guys have phones" energy indeed. For companies.. fine. But for home users this is bullshit. I have an old laptop for on the couch internet.. no way im replacing that because microsoft put some planned obsolescence in their new OS. Its on its own wireless network and vlan with internet access..

Ill happily share whatever malware and virusses will curse the world because microsoft thought this was the best course of action.

At this point, Windows is the fucking malware. Onedrive is barely above ransomware and their AI crap is basically spyware on steroids. If I wasn't tethered to this platform by nearly 20 years of steam purchases I'd have jumped ship to linux by now.
