And that's completely fine. I would advise on a cut-off date of around Oct 15. 2025. Your OS won't receive any security updates after that and having it connected to internet at that point is going to be a major risk.
You have more than a year to prepare, though. Use it wisely. :)
Well, 10 is going away in about a year anyway, isn't it. I don't think they really care about 10 anymore.
Well. When the OS stops receiving updates there's a whole lot of stuff that stops receiving updates (much of which is the libraries that are being updated with the OS).
Using Windows 10 past the cut-off date is perfectly possible but more and more of the security of your device (and, as it'll be connected to the internet, all other unpatched devices) will be on you, rather than a large company (or a collective of really smart people).
Could always just use Linux.
Ah. Pro Tools.
Yeah I understand Avid isn't exactly er, avid on the open source stuff.
My apologies and thanks for the education.
Doesn't he always?
Fair enough. And I didn't mean it as a slight. Just genuinely curious about what a unified Linux Control Panel might have been like.
This is not to say that the Gnome and KDE (or Plasma) panels (f. ex.) don't have their varied and myriad shortcomings, but that's another discussion.
Yeah, good luck getting Adobe supporting anything linux. Have pleaded both as customer and as corporate client. Not happening.
Blackmagic has stuff. DaVinci, etc. But apples and oranges.
What are your very high end multi channel audio cards that don't play together with Jack?
Can you enlighten me on what is the 'already half-assed solution that is the control panel on Linux" [sic]. That you mean.
Far as I know, there are many a different approaches to half-assed solutions to control panels on Linux [sic].
As much as we like to fantasize about an actual billionaire siccing her lawyers at the fake billionaire: She didn't become a billionaire by just siccing her very expensive lawyers at just any Donald. You need to make sure the siccee can pay the damages, which I'm not sure this one can.
I thought the orange man was supposed to be a leader in fertilization.
