You guys have a lot of problems.

Re: Windows 11 Thread
What version of MacOS runs on an AMD threadripper or Epyc chip or other platform with similar power?
I am not a patient man. As Inigo Montoya famously said, "I hate waiting."
I know there are people who have hacked the OS to do that, but I am pretty sure it is not legal.
Even if laws are pretty stupid I still follow them if I can.
I think Linux is more scalable, and I can get the source to the operating system too.
I would stick to Windows, but they are slowly tightening a noose around my neck and I feel that it is uncomforable.
I must admit that I feel sheepish about not shutting down the network when I go on vacation. So obvious.
But my other difficulties stick, and a big list of other things I did not mention.
So for MacOS:
Closed like Windows
Only legally established on wimpy machines
Every add-on costs twice as much as it should
I am not interested.
It's like an implementation of AIX. Solid, reliable, but too expensive and missing things that I want, along with not being portable.

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Re: Windows 11 Thread
Seems MS is closing loopholes to run Windows 11 on not supported hardware...

Microsoft Quietly Makes It Harder To Install Windows 11 on Old PCs Ahead of Windows 10's End of Support
https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/02/0 ... of-support
--Microsoft has intensified efforts to block unsupported Windows 11 installations, removing documentation about bypassing system requirements and flagging third-party workaround tools as potential malware. The move comes as Windows 10 approaches end of support in October 2025, when users must either continue without updates, upgrade to Windows 11, or purchase new hardware compatible with Windows 11's TPM 2.0 requirement. Microsoft Defender now identifies Flyby11, a popular tool for installing Windows 11 on incompatible devices, as "PUA:Win32/Patcher." Users are also reporting that unsupported Windows 11 installations are already facing restrictions, with some machines unable to receive major updates. Microsoft has also removed text from its "Ways to install Windows 11" page that had provided instructions for bypassing TPM 2.0 requirements through registry key modifications. The removed section included technical details for users who acknowledged and accepted the risks of installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
