          I don't think that's the point.....there should have never been a need for a 'workaround'.

              I was starting to pity M$ a bit after apple and google eating their lunch, but after seeing stuff like this, let them starve.

                That bit i agree with... The feeling bad for them because of Google/Apple, not so much. M$ toppling has been a long time coming!

                You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

                Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

                  $23.56 billion revenue by Microsoft this quarter. They are far from toppling or starving and probably don't give two shits about those holding onto 7 and 8.1..

                    I don't agree with this. google and apple are worse from the core compared to M$ because they have "phone home" devices from the start, built in advertising, plus you don't get admin access in the default install. M$ is just following suit seeing the advantages the phones have in user tracking - and I'm sure they'd love to also rid your admin access too so that they can do the same privilege separation that phones enjoy.

                    Except that this completely breaks the way that PCs historically work. I cannot understand why people let themselves get controlled by ios and android when they complain about what M$ does with PCs, and since people think android/ios is "ok" to have built in advertising, M$ thinks it's OK to put it in PCs too. This is wrong of course, but they're fighting for the ad revenue if they can't get OS revenue anymore.

                    I have to admit that Linux would have never happened without M$, because the hardware would have never been standardized enough to allow Linux to run on pretty much any x86 machine you can find.

                      Yep, exactly, hence they feel entitled to do this to kill off 7/8.1. Userbase is too small and dying.

                        While I agree MS doesn't care about anyone still on 7/8.1, the size of the user base has little to do with it (at least for 7), 7's market share is still at around 50% of computer users (not just windows), while 10 is only around 25%.

                          I should clarify, users still paying them $$$.

                          They don't make money from win7/8.1 so they don't exist, as far as M$ is concerned... OR their SHAREHOLDERS.

                            I'm so glad I switched Linux 3 years ago.

                            Now that I'm done my taxes, I can put away my Windows 10 machine until April next year. The tax software I use runs on Windows. I tried WINE and while it works, it requires a lot of time and effort to get the right combination. Just easier to use a Windows 10 machine for a week to do solely taxes and nothing else.

                                But you think it's OK with a throw away account.

                                I think it's not OK even with a throw away account.

                                    Look the Interview from Barnacley from Eli the computer guy.
                                    That was very interesting.

                                    Long story short:
                                    Employees loved/adored Bill Gates. Even Steve Ballmer.

                                    But the Nadella he can't say anything good about. And that might be the problem. That the CEO does know shit about what he's doing. And ruins everything. Like Hector Ruiz did with AMD...

                                        You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

                                        Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

                                          by Ukdigger
                                          Just bought this amp for £10. Reverb pot acts like a volume pot on both high and low inputs and treble pot has high pitch whine when turned up above half way, but only on low input. Any help would welcomed....

                                          Hi there,

                                          I have an 820-3437 motherboard which does not show any signs of life when using an OEM charger. But the magsafe light comes up when connected using a fake charger. While using a fake charger, the fan spins for may be 10 seconds and stops. Then the loop continues. Almost every power rail is up, but with 0.2-0.3 V drop. But I do not get a display, but sometimes does. While powered using the fake charger, the CPU seems to be burning hot. I got display at about 3 instances with the fake charger.

                                          But with the OEM charger, no signs of life.

                                          Any...

                                          Hi, I hope you are doing great,
                                          I am confronting this weird behavior from this MBP from 2019.
                                          The motherboard is 820-01914A MBP 15inch 2019
                                          The initial symptoms the user told me was that from one day to another the display was just black and the toucchbar would show only the ESC button.
                                          Connecting an external monitor they wiped everything and installed again. The computer boots but "same" thing. Now with external monitor you can "use" the system. The backlight from the internal display works and reacts when changing the brightness, but stays black...

                                          Nevir 39" LCD acting up. Broken panel?
                                          by edugimeno
                                          Hi! I got this TV that was supposed to "not work well".

                                          I turned it on and the BL got lit but nothing was showing on screen

                                          Opened it and found that the only PS voltages present (12v and backlight) were 100% perfect

                                          Plugged it back in and the screen kind of started up showing a NEVIR logo but it was split into several chunks with also missing lines in between. Nothing else

                                          Next time the screen showed an amorphous large color cloud in the screen swinging from side to side (maybe a screensaver picture) with all broken lines everywhere....
