Windows 11 upgrade ad:
I got that one on my wife's laptop the other day. Yeah, it took me a while to figure out how to bypass it. Then I disabled the automatic feature update in the registry on her laptop, which I apparently forgot to do.
I'll migrate to Win11 when I'm good and ready.

If you're running any kind of modern system you really should update that Windows 10 build. For example the new 13th Gen Intel chips are completely broken if they don't have access to the latest Windows 10 (or 11) thread director. If you got an old PC though, then you should be fine I guess. *shrug*

Update: Drew Prairie, AMD’s VP of communications, reached out with the following clarification: “We are shipping below consumption because there is too much inventory in the channel and that partners want to carry lower levels of inventory based on the demand they are seeing and their expectations for their business…the idea we are doing this to keep prices “elevated” isn’t accurate. Our client ASP was flat year over year, and that is due to mix of CPUs shipped.”
This article originally published with the headline “AMD is ‘undershipping’ chips to keep CPU, GPU prices elevated” but it has been updated to reflect AMD’s clarification.

Digital Circuit Breakers:“Instead of using mechanics to switch the power, we apply digital inputs," Kennedy told Popular Mechanics. “Now I have no moving parts. Now I have the ability to connect things like iPhones and iPads for remote power management, which increases safety and improves efficiency. I can set the distribution panel to a schedule so the flow of power is seamless, unlimited, and shifts between sources automatically. You literally wouldn’t notice. The lights wouldn’t even flicker.”
You notice that nowhere in that paragraph is there a mention of 'security'?
In fact, I did a text search, and the word 'security' does not appear anywhere in that article.
Honestly, I can see how a digital circuit breaker that can be remotely managed would be really useful in commercial buildings, but for the love of God let's think about security first and not last when designing these things.

I mean posting on this forum is probably one of the riskiest things I do...
Honestly, fuck you MS. Why are you constantly taking the devious route? I have no problem eventually going to Win11 once I feel I need to. But this kind of stuff makes me want to sit on 10 even longer just to give MS the finger.

When there's a duopoly in your industry, a player can do that with little downside.

Also, paying attention and reading what your computer tries to say, regardless of how vague the descriptions are, dramatically reduces the chances of getting unplanned upgrades.Umm, Duh!
