This is a screenshot of this HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45744503 Edit: WAS a screenshot - thanks for editing the post.

Which is about this Reddit post: https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1oiz0v0/youtube_is_taking_down_videos_on_performing/

"non-standard" means without a Windows account (gasp!) and on "non-standard equipment" - like, what a Samsung Smart Fridge instead of the ads? I can't tell what that means, YT thinks I'm a bot, and can get fucked instead of me digging any deeper.

Can confirm, I still own an i7-7700k. Pretty much all 77xx variants were on the compatibility list but mine wasn't. Weird thing, though (sarcasm), I used the standard Win11 Install Media to install, and it did so with no problems! Funny, that.

Occasionally it threw a fit with the Office apps my partner needed to use (the standard for the university and LibreOffice's docx, xlsx format is not compatible with M$), all it did was refuse login due to lack of TPM2.0, but this only happened after the 24H3 update or whatever it's called.

All this is moot for me now though, I use Arch
