My guess is they are going to require the ransom be delivered to various food banks - gotta work that PR angel.

- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 3 weeks ago:
That was my original point: it is running Windows 11 right now. A bit slow, but it runs.
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 3 weeks ago:
I can’t see investing upgrades into HW that old (I know I could, just doesn’t seem like the best use of money in the long run).
Also, my partner’s SW is only available for Windows and I don’t feel like teaching them enough Linux to run Wine under it.

Finally got around to looking up the info on it.
It’s a Dell Latitude D630 (model PP18L according to the label). CPU is: Intel Core 2 T7250, 2.00GHz, 800MHz, 2M L2 Cache, Dual Core Built: 27 MAR 2008 (actually newer than I thought) Last OS to have support from Dell was: Windows Vista 32/64 bit RAM is: 2.0GB, DDR2-667 SDRAM
Per this page it doesn’t meet the specs: Windows 11 requirements But that page also states: > you may not be able to install Windows 11 so it’s more a soft spec than an actual hard minimum.
I have systems from before 2000 that I’m sure would run x86 Linux (especially DSL Linux: [DamnSmallLinux.Org](www.damnsmalllinux.org and such). Can’t wait to browse using Lynx again :-)

Humm, I installed Windows 11 on a really old Dell laptop (clean install). I’m sure it was not HW supported but it installed fine. I may have had to click something like, " Yeah I know it doesn’t meet the specs"; but otherwise fine.
No, I don’t like Windows but it’s what my partner needed at the time.
- Comment on Horse-flippers? Have any horses from history, ever been fitted with horseshoes that improve their ability to swim? 1 month ago:
In historic times, people knew horses were land animals. So, I expect we will see this invention in about two more weeks.

Of course they won’t be; somebody has to debug all the crap AI writes.
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 2 months ago:
I’m so glad you were able to see the light and thank you for having the courage to put it out there for others to see.
The most difficult faults to see and change are our own.

- Comment on British Library Still Reeling After Major Cyber Incident 1 year ago:
Well, I and my AD&D group tried:
About once a year, we would play an “evil group”. We were trying to capture a silver dragon to enslave it (a good creature). To attract it, we locked the men and women of the town in the church and set it on fire. Still not evil enough to get it’s attention. So . . . we started throwing the children/babies in the fire too.
That did it!
- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 1 year ago:
comparison to electric furnaces. That has been widely known for years to be hilariously inefficient.
By this, I’m thinking you mean “electric resistance heating” - i.e an electric heater.
Electric resistance heat is 100% efficient. Heat pumps can easily be 200%+ efficient.

As a farmer who’s family has grown probably 2M+ bushes of soybeans since they became popular in the 70s. I can truly say that the worst part is spending night after night with little needles injecting the Republican poison into the fattest beans.
/s - do I really need this here? Oh hell yeah!
