That’s usually the answer to these kind of questions.

Mine too.

Businesses can’t be expected to indefinitely support a piece of technology for free.

Of course not but they themselves announced long ago that win10 will be EOL’d in October 2025. Then later they announced that you can buy extra support for plenty and increasing amounts of money. And now this.

Though even longer ago they announced that win10 will be the last windows ever.

So windows 10 isn’t EOL’d in October 2025 after all.

A solution is not to use any product, service or software made by MS or google.

Good riddance. It was never about privacy anyhow. Only to enhance google’s monopoly in ads.

X11 can be easily forwarded over ssh. You do need to have at least the application you want to forward installed on RPI, possibly X11 as well. You also need a X11 server on the other side.

On a related note. Why would creators add sponsored segments/other sponsoring/patreon etc if YT pays them enough?

Even youtube doesn’t pay the creators that much. Lois Rossman in a recent video showed some of his video in YT that had over 200k views and generated ~100 USD of income.

Nebula pays creators, and you pay to Nebula.

Even university students studying computer science don’t have this basic knowledge anymore.

It’s good to keep pounding this info to normies. Maybe they’ll understand one day.

Java is baxkbone of modern web app and a privacy and security nightmare.

JavaScript. Two very different things. Though Java can also be as it’s used in backend quite a lot.
