lol good luck bro
bet you're already thinking how to explain why you skip to Windows 14 like it's natural and logical instead of PR/psychological

the "oh ok" pleb line, the nonsense, is that microsoft is in deep with PC OEMs and they need a new windows version so everyone buys new computers
the real truth is that what's coming down the pipeline is the OS and the OEM owning all your data. apple is essentially already there; iCloud ain't yours at all. apple ain't bad but
...microsoft has seen this and wants in, and the only reason windows 11 exists -- with the insane new hardware requirements -- is a bunch of new chips that lock down everything. and that's why you need to sign up for a microsoft account, they want all your shit in the microCrap cloud because hay apple is $$ off this
my biggest concern in all of this is that arturia's software is shit and if they don't support linux by the time microsoft throws some levers to make win10 unusable, i will either have to sell the keystep -- kind of like cutting off my foot to escape a leg shackle -- or hack the crap out of it and somehow manage to at least be able to change the settings you cannot fucking change without a computer. or hope someone else hacks it for me

i mean, they are in deep with the OEMs, who need a new windows version so everyone buys computers; it's true. but everyone's joked about that for 20 years and so it's a convenient smokescreen

Since I'm bloviating on the future
The NSA has massive data centers in the desert that have quietly been slurping absolutely all the traffic on the internet that they can handle storing. It's mostly encrypted and they can't read any of it. For now
Probably in around ten years, quantum computers will no longer be a joke, and they will then be able to go back and decrypt anything they choose. the only fig leaf you have left then is that there's so much of they actually have to go back and decide and look at something. But if you put, say, Donald Trump in charge of this trove, things could go quite badly for the world
But a part of me is like: This is interesting, this will be interesting. And hopefully, even if this does kill civilization, there will be a brief and glorious moment where china hacks the nsa and uses their shit to crack microsoft's whole universe and we'll have our computers back for a few days or hours before... oh, hell, throw a rock and you'll hit it
