Personne ne veut de l'IA: Il y aurait 500 millions de PC sous Windows 10 parfaitement éligibles à la migration gratuite à Windows 11, mais les utilisateurs n'en veulent pas.

Non seulement c'est un problème pour Microsoft, mais c'est un problème pour nous tous: Vu qu'il n'y a plus de mises à jour de sécurité pour Windows 10, c'est une bombe à retardement.

Vast Number of Windows Users Refusing to Upgrade After Microsoft’s Embrace of AI Slop

Huge numbers of Windows users are refusing to upgrade to Windows 11 -- and many of them are citing its AI features as the reason why.

#Windows 3.1 included a red and yellow 'Hot Dog Stand' color scheme so garish it was long assumed to be a joke, so I tracked down Microsoft's original UI designer to get the true story

• Windows:
  "Windows update is committed to helping reduce carbon emissions" 🌱
• Also, Windows:
  "We don't support Windows 10 anymore so we ask users to dump their 500 million computers that are "too old" to run Windows 11 and buy new hardware"
• Also, Windows:
  "We will keep trying to force our users to use #Copilot, what, our carbon emissions have increased (30% since 2020) because of our AI push, oops" 🤷

Wie Microsoft die lahme Performance von Windows verbergen will

Microsoft (MS) Windows ist eine lahme Krücke. Das galt schon für Ausgabe 10; 11 ist noch zäher geworden. Es hat schon einen Grund, warum MS so hohe Mindest-Anforderungen an die Hardware stellt: W-11 verbrät unglaublich viel Rechenleistung. Die geht drauf für Augenzucker, vor allem aber für die enthaltene Bloatware. Wer braucht schon oder will überhaupt Hintergrundfunktionen für die Spielekonsole XBox, KI, und so weiter. Wer schon mal auf einer normal leistungsfähigen Hardware ein Windows mit einem Linux verglichen hat, reibt sich verwundert die Augen: Wie, so schnell kann mein Rechner sein? 😉 Auf Dual-Boot* Systemen,

It seems like most every other browser is all in on AI. We have chosen a different path at @Vivaldi

If you would prefer AI not to be integrated into your browser, but still like a feature rich browser, I welcome you to try Vivaldi.

Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human | Vivaldi Browser

Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose humans over…

Idea: #Linux installation tutorial for #Windows users who want to try it as a dual-boot?

Say, I would live-post the steps as I am doing it on an old laptop, with #ZorinOS (I installed it once and it works fine). People could try and do it at the same time.
I am a Linux newbie but I would count on others here to provide tips if something is not working...
What do you think? 👀

Notes:

• This wouldn't be for MacOS users because I don't have a Mac
• If anyone would like to do the same for another Linux distribution, they could propose that below
• info on ZorinOS: zorin.com/os/
• nice video from a youtuber trying ZorinOS: m.youtube.com/watch?v=N1H0a3D8…
