This is what gets me. Why don’t they do this? They’re turning down profit by discontinuing support, but probably their logic is someone else will benefit from the hardware without bringing in profit, so that’s bad forsomefucking reason.

Any good petition writers? I’d sign something like this in a heartbeat.

I’m pretty good about either giving away or selling off used electronics pretty cheap, but in the worst case I take it to Best Buy as they have free electronics recycling.

I’m not sure if they still do it (it’s been a long time), but I kind of hate that you’re relying on the goodness of their heart to offer it.

Let’s talk about

I think the idea was to have a discussion.

Have you considered Orion? It has the sleekness of Safari (and based on WebKit) but gives you plug-ins from Chrome and Mozilla. I love it because it doesn’t have the non-native clunkiness of other browsers.

What in the Microsoft Windows is going on here?

We need laws that make this illegal. I get it that they don’t want to support it for whatever reason, but electronic waste is already a big problem and you can’t convince me everyone is recycling their used electronics.

I mean, it can be fun to tinker regardless. I have a shitty Dell Inspiron from 2012 that I run Linux in CLI-only mode just for fun.

In fact it used to run my entire smart home, run long-running background tasks (like syncing huge files from an NFS share to Storj); hell at one point it was bringing in passive income as I rented out hard disk space.

I got downvoted for this? 😂

I looked over the links, and the ones listed for Google aren’t respected anymore (and haven’t been for a long time).

If you search for something specific using operators, Google will just ignore them and give you related (but irrelevant) results which is absolutely infuriating.

Instead of showing a low number of results it seems they’d rather try to be smarter than you just to show more results.

It’s for you to ask questions

This isn’t even my style of humor but that’s fucking funny
