    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.







  • I think it’s a bit unfair to blanket statement that capitalism is a scam. There need to be checks in place. Like, I agree it’s not fair that me as a business owner can simply say “this year we are skipping raises, and I am paying myself 2 billion”. There’s no reason any one person needs a trillion dollars. That’s an insane amount of money. Even 100 million is a shit ton of money. There definitely need to be checks in place, but I don’t think communism is the answer either.

    Nope, any profits not reinvested in the company itself

    This isn’t clear to me what you’re saying “nope” to. How I said companies need to make profit? If so, they do. If they do not make profit they lose money, if they lose money they can’t reinvest into themselves or pay wages. Or maybe I misunderstand what you meant by “nope”.
