CPU upgrades? What CPU’s? Are the CPU’s in the Microcenter with us, Microsoft? Can you show us on the shelf where the mystical CPU’s are?
Is the shortage a mirage? Our imagination?
Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades

Micrslop wants you to support nVidia and RAM manufacturers

So I’ve got a wacky conspiracy theory about this and all the hardware shortages, ai datacenters, etc. The tech companies are trying to position themselves for “cloud only computing devices” being the only affordable option for most people. The you’ll own nothing and like it model.

This is their wet dream, but I’ll never participate.

Ive seen this said a lot here lately, but like, cloud computing still requires computer hardware, so shouldnt an increase in hardware prices make that more expensive as well?
Maiq@piefed.social 8 hours ago
They aren’t gonna make it free, your still gonna have to pay and likely more in monthly service/rental fees and hardware. If my theory is correct, they want you to settle for less while they control the hardware, host all the services, manipulate all the data and surveil everyone’s movement and conversations. All this made easier with a central hub cloud computing the plebes are forced into due to manufactured scarcity.

no. cloud computing will simply never happen.

Lmfao Microslop stop trying to make Recall and Copilot and AI bullshittery happen. It’s not gonna happen.
workgood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 hours ago
it WILL happen,even if it takes ages to. AI is simply the future

It would be nice if we actually had AI, instead of LLMs and ML models to analyze your cloud uploads for god knows what

AI isn’t the future, the IoT of this decade.

System76 makes nice Linux laptops.
Brkdncr@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
MS would be wild to expect people to buy a new machine before 2036. Consumer prices aren’t going to magically fall.
Either this is incorrect info, a huge flop, or MS really doesn’t care if home users switch to Linux from all the cash flowing in from businesses.
atrielienz@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
I don’t think businesses are going to be getting any CPU’s to make new PC’s during this shortage either. The average budget laptop cost has skyrocketed.

bs. it will accept non npu pcs,bec if they didnt they would lose all users in all of the world.
and it will be a great os and i will upgrade to it
victorz@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
it will be a great os
What will be great about it? 🤔

BigTrout75@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Having OS releases like this is just to appease computer manufacturing company’s. And to force Microsoft’s new AI trash.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
So glad Win 10 was the last one for me.

daychilde@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Y’know, if that’s true… I can’t afford a new computer. I just got one last year after almost a decade of using my last box. I was lucky that this one runs 11 - I’m not anti-Microsoft - I like Linux and Windows… but I’ve been perfectly happy with 11 (maybe just lucky, but none of the problems I’ve heard others having).
But yeah, if this box won’t run 12, I will be staying on 11 until I can’t, and then that’ll push me to Linux. I could switch now, jsut about, but a few little things that run better with Windows for me. But I could survive under Linux if I needed to.
Basically, I’ve never been a big Microsoft apologist, but man… that would kill it for me.
Not that they care. They care about corporate uses, not home users. Which is why you can find any number of ways to get your Windows for free these days. They gave up on the consumer market.

This is making it pretty obvious that they are literally trying to kill the PC as a concept.

I’ll have plenty of time to try it work, but I stop at 11 for personal use… long time coming but them putting a date on 12 means I now have my date to get off Windows altogether.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Oh goodie! I mean, Windows 11 was hand-coded. Disgusting! Windows 12 will bring the vibes! It’ll be the most vibe coded OS! (And probably the last when it tanks.) Think about it, AI is monitoring every action you do! Reporting to all it’s masters and their business partners everything you do! Oh all the ads they’ll send you, all the subscriptions they’ll sell! Of course, it’ll be always online else it can’t fully use the datacenters.
I’m being mostly sarcastic (any “excitement” for it). I mean, it’s probably going to have the worst performance since AI will be monitoring EVERYTHING and I really do expect it to be coded via prompts instead of talent. Microsoft and NVIDIA are already having massive issues with everything due to “AI” being used and they started with a working based code. 11 adoption was already bad and they made sure people knew 10 was dying so they could push the numbers… I don’t recall any previous version of Windows getting that treatment.

Because the previous versions of windows were for the customer (you), and the current version of windows is for the product (also you).
