Well, maybe tell Microsoft and others to stop sucking in these technological advances they treat as shiny misunderstood toys that are forced down everyone's throats and make everyone's lives a lot harder than they're supposedly making easier.
I am not arguing against the idea of upgrading at all or avoiding security at all. What I am always tired of, is just seeing the direction Microsoft takes and then telling people to shove off into their shitty new ecosystem for the sake of security. Like no, you're watering down your OS and dumbing down everything while telling millions of users like "well, uh, like it because we're Microsoft so fuck you".
And nothing is improving or giving people the strong urge to immediately upgrade because of said directions and choices.
Which is why we have this delayed lapse in people just stretching out these support cycles who're not interested in hopping to the next OS, because they aren't liking what they see and sometimes experience on another's computer that has that latest OS version.
By the time Windows 10 is truly done, Windows 11 has its announcement for the last of its updates and by the time Microsoft moves to 12 in however they handle it, maybe then.
