Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he’ll win.

It’s a free upgrade. Bitching about the version is insane. It was a marketing change they turned around on. It still meant you get a free upgrade which used to cost money.
Not if your PC doesn’t support some arbitrary requirements. I can’t upgrade because of the TPM requirement. There are ways to get around it. But at the same time Windows 11 isn’t really something I want to upgrade to. It’s got a bunch of crap I don’t need or want. Not that Windows 10 didn’t. Windows 11 is just worse and I’ve drawn a line.
I have to use Windows 11 for work so I know what I’m missing. Nothing. Well, the screenshot button being mapped to the snipping tool is nice. But there is already a shortcut for the snipping tool.
TPM isn’t arbitrary, it’s the path to a new from of CPU embedded, digital rights management that will marry your software to your cpu and make it non-transferable. The end goal being some successor of pluton where all code you download is encrypted and you can’t ever see it.
You won’t be able to jailbreak your PC in the future, just like 99% of smartphones.
You can’t jailbreak phones?
No, it used to be a thing but not anymore. I have a bunch of android 9 phones and I tried, while there are proof of concept exploits that in theory could allow me to gain root access to my own phones, due to “safety reasons” the security research community no longer provides working prototypes.
Which really means that they are only for sale on the exploit market which I, as an individual cannot even access, not that I could afford these intelligence agency tooling.
So my phones are technically no longer “safe” to use and I would have to buy new ones, but also I cannot jailbreak them to use them for something else (in my case, as a simple wireless camera)
There are a few phones, less than 1% of all phones, which the manufacturer will allow you to unlock the bootloader and obtain root privileges. This privilege often costs 1000$-1500$ for what is the performance of a 300$ phone.
But that is not a jailbreak, that is an permitted privilege granted by to you by the manufacturer.
Of course, since almost no one can access root on their phones, the development of any non-sanctioned software has slowed to a crawl with most android rom projects dying outright.
So the point of my comment is that this dynamic will be slowly made the norm for the Personal Computer.
I had no idea, I always assumed it’s possible but breaks banking and ID apps
When you actually jailbreak a phone, which is when you don’t ask permission from the guy who sold you the phone, there are ways to have root access that is undetectable by any normal means. Ideally no application should be able to tell anything that you don’t want to know. Want to have root and stuff don’t break, they just shouldn’t know.
Absolute nonsense 🤣
Hail the corporate god! Repent, for the end of Windows 10 is near!
Judging from your username, you also like those built-in AI features.
No, just an understanding how a court room works.

Let me quote the literal first line in this thread.
Boy you look foolish 🤣

Win 11 is a downgrade with forced ms accounts, more ads, more distractions (tabloid “news”, weather, more ads, Microsoft own product ads) added to task bar, edge and notifications. On an OS I already paid money for!
And? What does that have to do with a lawsuit? You’re going to go into court and argue that? It’s amazing how hard it is for some to stay on topic.
You’re the one coming in here with some bullshit argument. Nobody was complaining about the price of the upgrade until you came along and went off topic.
Ah got it, you are some AI bot trying to troll.
