  • Reducing the valid time will not solve the underlying problems they are trying to fix.

    We’re just gonna see more and more mass outages over time especially if this reduces to an uncomfortably short duration. Imagine what might happen if a mass crowdflare/microsoft/amazon/google outage that goes on perhaps a week or two? what if the CAs we use go down longer than the expiration period?

    Sure, the current goal is to move everybody over to ACME but now that’s yet another piece of software that has to be monitored, may have flaws or exploits, may not always run as expected… and has dozens of variations with dependencies and libraries that will have various levels of security of their own and potentially more vulnerabilities.

    I don’t have the solution, I just don’t see this as fixing anything. What’s the replacement?


  • The executive also noted that 500 million PCs don’t meet Windows 11’s system requirements while the others don’t need a hardware upgrade to run the OS. Although this would indicate that 500 million PCs would potentially be replaced with newer alternatives capable of running Windows 11 at some point, Clarke hinted at “roughly flat” sales for Dell PCs would moving forward . Clarke didn’t explain the reasoning behind this statement , but it could mean that people are just not that interested in upgrading to Windows 11 PCs.

    It’s a simple reason. Everybody is abandoning dell in droves for lenovo in enterprise environments.

    I used to buy dell exclusively for laptops across over a decade at multiple organizations where I determined hardware standards and purchasing. Everyone always wanted a x1 carbon or thinkpad but the prices were too high. This is no longer the case. Now everyone gets a thinkpad or x1 carbon where I work at least, and statistics for market share are heavily on the lenovo side now.

    That’s how I see it anyway. This has nothing to do with windows 11, it’s just another service pack when you’re managing everything via GPO/intune/sccm/whatever.


  • You know I do agree with you.

    For some reason the folks here don’t get the flood of “normal people” that have taken over the internet that was really only for techies 20-25 years ago. It was even more pronounced before then.

    Back then in many ways the internet was a little bit like lemmy today. There isn’t critical mass with shitloads of idiots, there’s tons of like minded people who think critically and try to do what’s right. Unfortunately Pandora’s box has been opened though, so it’s still not exactly the same.

    If you ask me, the windows 95/98/xp era required the same level of patience and technical troubleshooting that Linux requires today. Maybe even more than modern Linux honestly. Windows 8/10/11 have been essentially on rails so much that needing to understand and figure shit out is less needed than ever. The people today on the internet generally are not at all like the people who used to be the majority here.
