Kerfuffle

Although I still rely on some software that requires Windows, just about all of my hardware has gotten a first or second life running #Linux (#Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, #Mint). My 7 year old desktop is now a full-fledged gaming steed running Ubuntu, and even most Windows games run fine. It's 2025 and using #microsoft should be the exception.

It's a website created and driven by Steve #Ballmer, the former CEO of #Microsoft. It gathers a lot of data officially from the government and puts them in context with a lot of explanations.
I use it once in a while to fact check when someone says something, which means currently more often.

Recent news that Amazon has pulled back on datacenter leasing deals has concerned some AI investors - especially on the backs of a similar Microsoft pause. But the company says it's nothing more than "routine capacity management." Read more at @theregister. #Amazon #Microsoft #AI #AWS #Datacenter #Tech #Technology flip.it/YBhYZ0

END OF 10

"Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025.

Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date GNU/Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an OS may sound difficult, but you don't have to go it alone! With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!"

So, if I've read this correctly, #Microsoft plans to provide security upgrades for #Windows 10 until 2032, but home users can't have any of it unless they shell out for five seats. Have I got that right?

This doesn't affect me (we're a Linux shop), but it does smack of giving users what Microsoft wants them to have rather than what they need and want. And that makes me wonder whether #Windows11 is more lucrative for Microsoft than #Windows10 and, if so, why.

Die #Bundescloud sollte zentrale IT-Leistungen bereitstellen, doch fehlende Kapazitäten und Mittel zwingen Behörden, auf 32 externe #Clouddienste wie #AWS, #Microsoft und #Google zurückzugreifen.

Die Kosten steigen, bleiben im Vergleich zur Aufgabe aber gering. Experten sehen ein Missverhältnis zwischen #Digitalbudget, #Sicherheitsanforderungen und tatsächlicher Leistungsfähigkeit.
