Agreed.

"most" (ie : from the few people i know, ie, not that much, ie : I don't pretend its true, it''s my feeling about that)

*most* people I know using apple hammers don't give a shit about screws and screwdrivers. They us it for nails. They are fine with it.

Other (my case) want to fix screws with android screwdrivers. I'm a happy F-Droid user. That's great.

Now about the debate : OTHER companies would like to make money selling nails to people owning hammers !

It's not about end users, or elders, or whatever.

This war is not for or against end users, as usual other interested people try to make users fight ... in order to get a bigger part of the cake. (cake paid by the fighters anyway)

Comment what about giving an easy way to avoid 11 (Score 1) 74

Great, people with unsupported hardware will be allowed to ruin it. At their own risks. To whose benefit : hardware resellers probably.

But now, imagine I have fully functionnal hardware with win 10 (which is not my case, but colleagues do).

Imagine I want to stick with it until win10 end of life.

Imagine this hardware fully supports win 11 but I don't care.

This scenario is fairly common in enterprises, which are a strong share of microsoft incomes.

Only ways I found so far was by fiddling around gpedit.msc and figure out what cryptic 'target' version should be enforced (21H1) in windows update.

This is IMHO the point that should be more discussed, not how to desperately force a resource-demading OS on older hardware, and then complain it doesn't work well (exactly as expected)

Comment Looks Good To ME : long live code analysis (Score 1) 24

I'm not sure average developers would have done better. Maybe, maybe not, that's not even the point.

Thing is : analysis tools do exist, and are used (or should be!) in any serious development process.

Guess what : even Github provides one : LGTM (bought from an expert in security analysis company - semmle)

Tools like CoPilot, even if I'm not convinced about them, should not be used to replace good practices and other tools.
