Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years. 

Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.

    I guess most of the world is stuck jerking off to oss instead of working whatever their professions are. Anyway, we get windows 10 support until 2028 I guess? So nobody cares about all of this shit anyway. Oh, and for the dudes with the idea of sending western used crap to poor kids… wow

        The point is that we need things that work to keep working. Not pass the shit to the poors, keep using what works

            I don’t know, I keep replying to things. It’s about linux not being this magical solution and everybody in the world stupid for not using it? It’s about people not being able to drop their shit and move their work where it can’t be moved, to an os that’s radically different?

        Lemmy works, you just open a browser. I don’t see how it compares?
