#680554 — Linux-hating Windoze concern trolls, listen up

SubjectLinux-hating Windoze concern trolls, listen up

Linux-hating Windoze concern trolls, listen up:

In alt.comp.os.windows-11, go read the threads on "SleepStudy" and
"Task Scheduler is not working in the latest Windows 11 24H2 patch".
See what Microsoft is doing to those poor folks who rely on their
computers to behave themselves.

(Hats-off to the venerable Paul, who is ubiquitous with his assistance
for those folks.  But even he reports his screensaver keeps resetting
to 10 minutes from his preferred 2 hours.)

It's almost as if Microsoft has decided its customers are now
its beta-testers.  Have fun with that!

They're more overt about it now.

It's too bad that anti-trust enforcement is so defanged in
our government.  The whole "TPM 2 for Windows 11" thing is screwing
up the marketplace.

God forbid Microsoft would want Windows users to have the security 
they've been clamoring for! Those assholes! Why can't they just open up 
the hardware entirely and ensure that every part of it is exploited?!

It's not security they're concerned about, it's making sure that the back 
doors are up and running. It's the opposite of security. 

It's also a way to ensure computer manufacturers stick with the monopoly 
company that forces people to buy their products again. A symbiotic 
relationship.

I don't deny that at all. However, I don't think that Microsoft 
intentionally adds backdoors as much as the governments of the world 
require them for the company to sell its product in the country. I 
believe that both the software and hardware people use nowadays have 
such backdoors and there is little anyone can do to get around it.

Your computer is new enough to have TPM 2.

Some folks aren't so lucky...

Brains doesn't necessarily enter into it. I have two boxes that were built 
before TPM even existed. They're Fedora and Lubuntu. 

Three machines? Whoopee. I generally use Pan on Ubuntu but I have slrn on 
Fedora and Thunderbird on Windows. I can't multitask enough to use all 
three simultaneously.

It truly is sad that Microsoft essentially locked out perfectly capable 
computers from say 2017 with their requirements. However, software 
companies routinely did this with their software requirements in the 80s 
and 90s. The fact that people are able to get eight years of life from 
Windows 10 on their 2017 computer shouldn't cause them to get their 
panties in a bunch. Microsoft has no obligation to allow people to get a 
decade worth of usage from their computers and they are free to use 
Linux is buying new hardware bothers them that much. Meanwhile, paying 
customers want security on their computers to be the best that it can be 
and proper support for whatever hardware they connect to their machines. 
No businessman wants to be told that they need to edit /etc/default/grub 
or that they need to go into the command line to change some hidden file 
with nano in the faint hope that it might resolve their issue. Time is 
money which is why people with money don't waste their time with Linux.

No businessman wants to do their own servicing of their car, either. They 
go to experts to get that done. Same with servicing their computers.

Just ask any corporate IT tech about the stupidity of the Windows users he/she
must deal with.

Of course not.
They call the corporate helpdesk and make an appointment.

The problem is that the "experts" servicing their computers are often 
low-pay Haitians who don't know that much more than the users do.

That’s their choice: go to a reputable firm or a cut-price one. You get 
what you pay for. That’s how free-market competition works.

I tend to agree, that the TPMS requirementfor Win11 is not such a bad
thing.

I thought that I once read that M$ would offer, for a fee, extended
Win10 security updates for those who want to keep their old hardware
viable.  That would be a reasonable solution to the problem.

I do have to mention that I have a few gripes about TPM though, on AMD 
systems at least. Periodically, fTPM causes your computer's sound to 
stutter. It's rather annoying and AMD has admitted to the problem but 
offered no real solution to it for laptop users. I thought Linux would 
allow me to escape that crap but it looks like it affects that too
