Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL?

Brkdncr@lemmy.world to Technology@lemmy.world – 229 points –

Next year Windows 10 goes End of Life. Microsoft will undoubtedly push windows 11 hard, but a lot of machines won’t support it leading to a few economic points of interest:

The demand for new machines will be high, driving up cost.

The supply of unsupported machines will be high, driving down the used market.

Are you all ready?

I'm seriously considering making Tiny11 my daily driver on my gaming desktop.

I'm about to start a prolonged test run on my new to me secondhand laptop as soon as my ADHD brain lets me remember at an opportune time to actually do it 😄

Do you have a to-do list somewhere, analog or digital? Definitely helps me remember all the shit I need to remember.

I pick something every day to do off of it. Probably add more than 7 things during the week though. 🫣

Keeping lists has not really worked for me to the point that I'm actively averse to them, especially in paper form.

In stead I make do with alarms and making sure that my days are hardly ever busy so that I and my very basic system don't get overwhelmed lol

Same here. I have to set an alert/notification. I like to set it three times 5 mins apart. Usually works. Lol

I usually set one 24h before the thing, one 1h before I have to leave for the thing, and sometimes an extra one 2h before lol

Haha glad we have both found something that works for us. I might steal that 24hr one. Could spur me to just do it then you miss all the shots you don’t take or whatever eh? 🙏

Oh shit, I forgot to mention the most important one: the "just in time to slowly get ready and still have a couple of minutes to stand at the bus stop wondering if the damn thing is EVER coming" alarm 😄
