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.

That's like switching from Tesla to BMW and paying the premium for the heated seats and adjustable shock absorbers to work.

That's switching from EvilCorp A to EvilCorp B, and paying a premium for everything. It's a valid decision, but not a good one.

I wasn't suggesting switching to Apple. I was suggesting we sue Apple, who offers far less support.

It's a) well enshittified to be cumbersome to use without apple's shitty cloud, b) quality control is really bad last few releases and c) just a different class of a same phylum of fucking corporate roaches

Yes. Old Apple computers are great… for running Linux. Mac OS tends to shut down.
