I know the Epstein files revealed that all the last Windows versions have been named after Microsoft leaderships' preferred rape victim ages but I still don't think I'm ready to switch to Linux.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Turn off the TPM module in your BIOS. All updates stop. And yeah, consider alternatives.
Why is this sub spreading AI slop?
The entire article is based on rumors, clickbait and hallucinations.
Is it April 1 already?
Well at least they meant it when they said windows 10 will be the last os they make,.

What the fuck...
I bet it's going to be like this:
Even though people obtain equipment with NPU, they'll opt out from paid options which at least partially will contain AI modules. The NPU will then be only partially in use and that AI processing resource will be used by Microslop for it's own benefit.
Well I'll not buy buy it.
Then again I've never directly bought a microslop product in all my decades of using windows.
I bought one pre-built pc in about 1995 that had it on, so I indirectly paid for that.
I bought a copy of Visual Basic 3 in 1995 for $50 and that's it for MS products for me.
I'm curious on what they mean by "fully modular". Coming from Linux I think I have a different definition of "fully modular" than they do.

All this sounds terrible. I don't even want to upgrade to Windows 11 for work on my other drive.
I'll go against the grain and say I like this. Maybe the AI, data collection, and enshittification will be something you have to subscribe to but the base bare bones OS will be free.... /s

I moved my personal computer to Linux Mint and it’s pretty much the same experience as Windows except my i7-6700 works fine with Linux as opposed to being hamstrung into not working with Windows 11.
The "fully modular" bit might imply we could gut everything we dont want out of it, that might actually be an improvement over 11 if true...
Also rumored to require a CPU with a npu 😂

Still not upgrading to it anytime soon...
I have a feeling, that they'll try to pull a "Windows 95 uses Internet Explorer as a core component" with AI, making it impossible to disable.
Anyways, I might move to Manjaro on my desktop too.
