Agreed. It's groups in multiple camps that want to force everyone to change how they do things. Superficial, performative "action" and causes don't change anything. Let's just be sensible and try not to harm or discriminate against anyone for any of their attributes. How is this so difficult? I think it's that there are too many people who have firmly married their identities to hate of their socially-acceptable (in their hermetically-sealed echo chamber of team red or team blue) scapegoats.

Nuclear terrorism hasn't been a trope in mass media for about 10 years, and 20 years since Graham Allison's book Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe. This book convinced Warren Buffett that it was a serious problem. And, that's what's so stupid about ending aid unilaterally without understanding the totality of implications of doing so. When a mushroom cloud sprouts over Los Angeles, it won't be the plot device of 24 anymore and nothing will be able to change what coulda, shoulda, or woulda been possible after-the-fact.

And the LTSC version won't keep trying to upgrade itself. LTSC enterprise version of Windows or bust.

That's an Arm version of Windows though. The main reasons to install Windows revolve around the need to use Windows only x86/x64 versions of drivers or software.

vTPM only works if there's a real TPM available.

Microsoft sends telemetry and displays ads all over Windows unless it is 11 Enterprise.

That's on newer machines where it's likely built into the processor, not for older machines that had a TPM as an option that connected via a header.

It has to be a TPM 2.0, not 1.2.
