  • I know I'll get down voted for this, but from that site:

    "Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

    But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?"

    Kind of a sensationalized statement. I've upgraded tons of machines from 2015 and newer to windows 11 without issues. Sure, not all of them, but I'd say a majority of them, and the "upgrade" is free.

    I guess I wanted to point out this piece isn't as doom and gloom as it seems.

  • For shits and giggles I tried using copilot on windows 11 on my brand new x1 carbon laptop.

    Seeing those fucking loading bars they use for Microsoft 365 admin centers pulse for like 10 seconds was enough to make my blood boil.

    It's bad enough they shove it everywhere, but do they have to make it also so fucking shitty?

    Then I Alt tabbed to Chatgpt and all was well.

  • If I had to guess, drivers.

    Also any idea on ram consumption during this period? If you're low on ram, and somehow something as simple as browsing Lemmy fills your memory, your computer will possibly page the game (move the running memory of the game from RAM to your HDD) which is significantly slower than RAM.

  • Ya for sure, I'm just speaking on a hardware level. Always been x86 as far as I was aware. I remember bypassing the disk encryption fighting every fiber of my being on the Xbox 1 by pulling out the IDE cable as it was booting to gain access to the HDD 😂

  • Bruh, last device I rooted and unlocked was in like 2015. Lost the need to do it.

    Back then though, I'd never heard of a custom ROM that doesn't have root enabled by default. Is that where we are at now?
