This is the most buttfucked, illogical sideways thinking I have heard come out of Redmon since Steve Balmer was CEO. The only things that will accomplish is driving people towards MacOS and Linux, or force people to stay with Windows 10 past 2025, OR it will make people much smarter then I to come up with ways to spoof hardware profiles so one can get all the updates. I understand wanting to have a secure platform. Apple does it with iOS, iPadOS and MacOS (especially with Apple Silicon), but to kneecap customers like this all in the name of security? Come on! This smell of desperation at the expense of customer security. Nice job Microsoft you will asshole of the year!

Here in the good ol' USA most areas have 2 choices for accessing the internet (not counting cellular because Mobile providers put draconian caps on data usage). The fastest one usually is cable internet, the second is usually DSL. Where I live you have 3 choices and that is only if you live in select areas. I have a 300mps net access through bright house (Now Charter), I also have a choice of 8mps Verizon DSL and FIOS. I chose Bright House because I do t need to have any new equipment attached to my house, I can use my own routers, no asinine contract and I honestly have not had any issues with maintaining speed. I would only use Verizon if I had absolutely no choice and even then I would look for better options.

I completely agree. It is against the law to murder someone. However the state premeditates the killing of the murderer. WTF?! Even so it doesn't bring anyone back to life, and for the most part it execution is quick. So where is the punishment?: I say let the sit in prison.

A crawl space is not computer friendly what-so-ever. You have humidity, dirt, dust, a water pipe leaking or busting wide open, critters, bugs, possible flooding during a heavy rain storm that can happen in a crawlspace. I would highly suggest you put the computer in a closet, a purpose built cabinet, in a different room and have it networked to a NUC that connects to the TV. The ONLY way I can see any computer surviving a crawlspace for any length of time is if the case is hermetically sealed. Which isn't easy at all because of wires and the need for cooling of the CPU, GPU, Chipset, Hard Drives and Power Supply. Keep it in the house in area that you can control the environment.
