I thought it said "decapitates" at first and I lol'd
Is this just for 11, or are they going to ruin 10 some more with this change too?
I'm not seeing it mentioned in the article.
Well, 10 is going away in about a year anyway, isn't it. I don't think they really care about 10 anymore.
I'm staying on 10 until it really doesn't work, and then moving entirely to Linux. I already don't use windows much and I'm not missing most of it.
And that's completely fine. I would advise on a cut-off date of around Oct 15. 2025. Your OS won't receive any security updates after that and having it connected to internet at that point is going to be a major risk.
You have more than a year to prepare, though. Use it wisely. :)
I personally think the risk of not receiving updates is pretty overstated. I'm more concerned with when applications stop supporting it - which normally happens because libraries stop supporting it.
Well. When the OS stops receiving updates there's a whole lot of stuff that stops receiving updates (much of which is the libraries that are being updated with the OS).
Using Windows 10 past the cut-off date is perfectly possible but more and more of the security of your device (and, as it'll be connected to the internet, all other unpatched devices) will be on you, rather than a large company (or a collective of really smart people).
It's just support that's going away, not the OS.
You will have to take ncpa.cpl from my cold dead hands
Changing IP assignment in the modern settings app is straight up annoying
This would bother me more if I hadn't switched to Linux full time 5y ago. Microsoft is gonna Microsoft I guess.
Every one of these Microsoft controversies since I ditched them has just validated my decision.
And just like that the last vestiges of my computing childhood are gone. I'm gonna go sadly play Oregon Trail on an emulator now.
Good luck finding the settings to allow unregistered exes without the control panel
Could always just use Linux.
The only thing I actually like about windows. Damn.
Am i the only one who just presses the windows button and types the setting thry want? I havent looked at control panel forever...
That's fine when you want a setting that exists in the settings app. Let me know if you find a place to adjust your audio device speaker configuration, or toggle live monitoring of an audio input.
Or set up your IrDA driver for a dongle that it does not really recognize.
Settings was utterly useless for this. Long live the control panel!
No big deal to me. I use search in control panel to find what I need. Do the same for Settings. Or just open mmc and load the appropriate item.
While My go to is control panel if they fully committed to settings in win 8 I wouldn't give a fuck. I don't care where my settings live as long as it's all in 1 place
Pity I have shifted enough away from win thar I only need it for a single program and could no longer care
I find it funny they've been trying to kill the Control Panel for 12 years now and still haven't been able to do it. Microsoft, here's an idea you can have for free: Put an "Other" section in the Settings app that opens the Control Panel inside the app, QED.
At least windows god mode still available although you need a little bit trick to summon it
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
