  Unrelated, but ever since I was a child I’ve been hearing a comic-book villain scream when I read, “IEEE!”

    It’s pronounced “I triple E”.

      It’s also quite unusual in that, as typically acronyms with four-or-more letters are spoken as a word.

    Just stamp this comment on every c/community post.

    But seriously, how does Linux save you money on laptop tarrifs?

      But seriously, how does Linux save you money on laptop tariffs?

      An issue for a number of people is that Windows 10 is EOLing this year, and Windows 11 doesn’t support hardware without TPM 2.0 support, which a fair bit of in-use hardware doesn’t have (Kaby Lake and earlier).

      For me it’s because I needed a new PC to do some gigs work. A friend has a couple he couldn’t get working. I put Linux on them and now I use them. Spent 0 dollars and don’t have to give Microsoft or Apple a dime

      Currently running a ThinkPad x380 with a 8th Gen intel quad core and 16gb of ram. A bit old by modern standards, but on Linux it’s plenty fast and I probably won’t have to upgrade for a decade. And that would only really be if the hardware was either worn out or there is some major upgrade I feel I need. I got it a few years old for $200 (it was a top spec model when new), I can fix most of the problems that might come up with it with used parts for cheap, and when I upgrade I’ll probably get another cheap laptop where running Linux won’t make it feel slow. From experience, if it were running windows it would begin to feel slower a lot sooner than with Linux, and indefinite security upgrades are not guaranteed.

  They are correct, but those that care about what IEEE has to say already know.
