240 millions PC will become e-waste if Win10 reaches EoL

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

EoL doesn't mean it will stop completely; people will probably keep using it till they can't anymore, like pc becoming too slow or their home banking site not working.

Realistically it will live for as long as Google Chrome still works and sites don't start getting picky about TLS 1.3.

I've got an Asus eeePC running WinXP. It's air-gapped and the wi-fi is disabled in BIOS. All it does is play music, connected to dumb speakers. I update the music periodically via USB. Remarkably reliable and long-lived hardware.
