Comment Re:Microsoft could avoid a lot of this.... (Score 1) 137

My old z77 motherboard (with a 3770k) runs 11 fine. (no TPM, Secureboot or 8th gen cpu). My Xeon 2660V4 machine runs it too (again, no TPM or 8th gen CPU and Secureboot is disabled).

Hardware limitations are artificial, kinda like when Apple blacklisted Atom CPUs in order to prevent netbooks from booting Snow Leopard.

Comment Re:Just, why? (Score 1) 87

My hand-me-down LG Q6 is about 7 years old, and according to the phone's battery meter it's still good for 12-38 hours with medium power management (depending on how many calls I make in a day) But my mom isn't a big phone user. The flipphone it replaced (thank you Virgin/Bell and all others from preventing it from working around October '25) is probably around 10 years old and was in need of a new battery but still 3-4 hours of talk time.

So yes, batteries can last for more than 3 years depending on usage.

Comment Re:What's next for dark matter theorists? (Score 1) 64

This is just some normal (non-dark) matter that we expected to be out there but was previously unobserved. It has nothing to do with dark matter or dark matter theories. We infer vast amounts of (otherwise unobservable) dark matter from its effect on gravity, and that has not changed from this.

Comment Re:Is KDE on old hardware really a good experience (Score 1) 134

If it can run win10 it can run modern linuxes. Other than create more landfill there's no reason to deprecate those older machines. OEMs probably had a talk with Microsoft because they weren't selling as many machines. TBH, I don't see the need to change my Ivy Bridge or Broadwell machines.
